My stereo on my Rav has done this twice. Dealer doesn't seem very interested as it hasn't happened in front of them. Service is not Toyota's specialty!

The hesitation was at low speeds, slowing then accelerating for example a red light that turns green. Car whatever went wacko. as though no power. Also in passing, low speeds jumping out to pass....nothing for a second of 2..... scary. But since TCB was performed it's run flawless.

Mine went blank, blinked, and had strange symbols etc. I reported this, screen printed pics from web others had (same symbols i showed), and gave this to dealership. They acted dumb, as they never heard of it. While talking to supervisor one of their mechanics walked in. Overheard us. Said, yeah that problems hapening with alot of these radios. Probably inserted his foot in mouth and got in heat later. Anyway, they ordered a new one. And no problems till just recently. Noticed a couple times playing fine, but screen blank. touched another button cd or fm or whatever and back and it reappeared. So who knows.

Saw the same problem on Edmund's forum and cornered the dealer about it and they have ordered a new display screen for my car. If dealer is unresponsive, call Toyota International and report it. Do not have the phone number but heard that it does exist.

Mine had this problem a year ago.. same reaction from my dealership until one of the mechanics walked in and confirmed and i too had screen prints etc. They ordered a new one. Except for a couple times in past couple months screen fine. Even when it was wacko it played. The 2 times recently just blank. go from CD to FM or whatever and it magically reappers. JVC f'up. However Toyota should note and change suppliers.

Radio Display problems

There is a Toyota Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) about radio problems. It was issued January 25th, 2007 and is entitled "Radio Display Malfunction" Its number might be "AU001-07"
It covers the regular 6-cd radio and the JBL 6-cd radio.
People have mentioned this to their dealers and gotten replacements.

Radio display problems showed up 2 times, once overnight and once for several days. Dealership service saw it and replaced radio (2 visits). Now, a few weeks later, some of the display is gone again. The radio works fine. Do I bother with getting ANOTHER new radio and what's to prevent it from happening AGAIN? Thanks for posting. My annoyance is with Toyota and the car radio manufacturer, not people reporting problems.

3rd Time was the charm for me as well. Not sure when you got your Rav, but mine was Feb. 2006. I've had 3rd unit now for over a year thru winter/summer weather etc. and so far so good. My beef is with Toyota only for continuing with same supplier of radio's. Obviously they have/had a problem. And with a 3rd unit for me and now yourself, obviously they didn't get it right the first time, second. yada yada yada.

I've had the same lcd distortion problem (2007 RAV4 V^ Sport $ whhel drive, 12k miles). I've had the dealer replace the stereo (d disc chnager non JBL) 3 times to get this right. All replacements developed same problem quickly ecxept for the most recent. Its been good for 5 months or so. Negotiated additional next oil chnage for free for my hassle as well. The casue is dual: 1) sometimes radio has improper installation (2 wires reversed), additionally some radios are defective themselves. Insist on new radios until problem is permanently fixed. I'm a toyota fan, but Toyota should issue a TSB for this one.
