Depending on your Toyota Highlander's radio model year, certain issues may only affect newer ones rather than all models. For instance, if you have the infotainment radio, you may experience random channel skipping, which is a software glitch that your local Toyota dealership should address. If the radio doesn't turn on at all, start by checking the vehicle's battery; a low charge could indicate broader problems beyond just the radio. Additionally, investigate the radio fuse located in the interior fuse panel. If these checks don't resolve the issue, it may be due to wiring problems or a faulty radio unit.

    I'm experiencing a similar problem with my 2021 Highlander Hybrid. The screen is functioning fine for cameras, but it's not working for anything else. Has anyone encountered this issue as well?

    I have been experiencing similar problems with my 2012 Highlander. At first, the screen wouldn't light up, and now the radio won't turn on at all. I'm going to inspect the fuse.

    The radio in your Toyota Highlander may fail to work because of a blown fuse, a malfunctioning ECU, or faulty wiring underneath the dashboard, which is a common cause of the issue.

    My new 2021 Highlander Hybrid has been plagued with issues regarding the radio and GPS system. The screen frequently goes black unexpectedly, starting just a few days after purchase. Despite being taken to Toyota for repairs and having the entire unit replaced last week, the screen went blank again just 3 days later. Now, 6 days after the replacement, the vehicle is back in the shop. This is a top-of-the-line vehicle, and it's concerning that these issues have not been resolved. It's especially dangerous at night when trying to use the map, make or answer calls, adjust the temperature, or use the radio. I am not happy with this situation and am considering going back to driving my 10-year-old Mazda soon. It's frustrating to have spent so much money on a car that can't seem to get this problem fixed.

    In my 2020 Highlander Limited, the radio isn't working. A symbol popped up asking me to press OK to reset. What should I do to reset it after putting in a new battery yesterday?

    My radio keeps flickering and turning off on its own, which seems like an issue Toyota should address. It's concerning that Toyota doesn't seem to prioritize family safety, especially when the GPS stops working or directs you to multiple incorrect locations. Now, Toyota is saying they won't replace the radio anymore; instead, you have to bring in your Highlander so they can send the old radio for repairs, which could take 1 to 3 months.
