It's unusual to hear of a radio going out like that. In other words just totally dead. Generally a channel will go out, or the display will stop operating etc.etc. Not the whole unit itself. which means it's probably just your amp if it's a seperate unit. I would just get a new amp first. Also, did you check to see if there are fuses in the amp? Amps can get real hot, so they usually go first.

whell i got the new(used) amp and pluged it in and .... nothing. since i was still there i though twhy not try the radio. the antenna went up. but.......... now the cd player dosent work .what the hell! i still have the original radio dose anybody know how to fix or are ther any shops that can fix the factory radio? on the bright side all the lihgts work on the radio now .so all i have to do is get the dash needles and the accontrole lights to work!

Is the cd player and radio one unit? Did the cd player work before and not the radio? when you turn on the radio and crank up the volume do you hear any thing at all?

i had that happen on my rx300 what caused it to to go out was the mute button shorted out it had that feature for the phone but i never used it so it thought i was on the phone in turn it shut my radio off but everything else still worked.so instead of sending it out for 6weeks to cali i put a new amp and a eq with volume control to solve that problem and it only cost me 250 instead of the 2000 they was talking about to find the problem and replace the radio
