I took my 2008 to dealer today for similar intermittent radio issue: LED fades out during operation, buttons non-functioning, not detecting my cell phone, CD ejects when I pressed radio preset buttons. I used my cell phone and recorded a video when it was not working, and showed it to the service manager. He told me he will order a replacement unit and will take 4~5 days to come in. Still under warranty, but due to expire in 3 months, so I just extended it to 8-yr/80K through Jerry Johnson of KS Toyota, figuring I may start seeing some other issues showing up now which may be covered under warranty.
I just inherited my moms 2009 RX 350 and this exact same issue is happening. Out of the blue, the LED on the radio screen fades in and out and with the fade accompanies equivalent fade and on and off of the music playing. Happens in all modes, which tells me it’s strictly electrical or something relating to the computer/digital parts. This is a fairy Oder post so I’m wondering if anyone has found the magic answer.
also this is for non-navigation and non Bluetooth model.
