@@Jojo-en6mu not yet mine seems to cut back on when I cut the car on and off and shuts off during high volume too, smh just cruising with the volume just normal now lol smh
same issue just came up in my 2015 GX 460. 30 on the volume seems to be the "stay away from volume" b/c if you try to get near or exceed it, I lose all audio and volume control from all sources. The only way to get it back is to stop and restart the truck. Even then, the audio may only play for a few minutes to a couple seconds and audio is lost again. Everything I'm reading is pointing to the Mark Levinson amplifier. This is obviously a very expensive problem and not easily resolved. I've seeing there is a company in NY called United Radio that you can send the amplifier to for repair but it's in the $650 range which is completely insane. Expensive vehicles equals expensive problems unfortunately.
I agree replacement of the AMP will solve it but the AMPs are expensive, even online. And as you stated, the price of a repair is near the same price of a used one. I would likely go with a repair shop that can do the repair with a warranty. Hope you find a solution.
Hey I just did everything you said on my 2007 lexus gs350 and wiggled the cords and now its working again 🙌🏾 thank you 😊 I’m a mom and im not afraid to get my hands dirty 😂 it may not last forever but hopefully this will buy me some time to get a replacement
Did you notice on 6:26 this guy put the fuse on the wrong place. He didn’t put it back where he took it from. I have replayed this Video more than 10times
My 08 has a similar problem. It would work sometimes and slowly just quit completely. I drive on dirt roads A lot so I’m wondering if that would be my problem aswell
Correct, the AMP issues will be seen over a period of time. Slowly will the AMP start to act up sounds issues or even times it will power off and you will need to turn the car off/on to temporary resolve the issue. I would check your car fuses first, then spot around for a replacement amp. When you have the replacement amp, you can crack it open to see if moisture or dirt build up caused the damage. There may be a business that can repair the AMP too but it might be @ the cost of a DEALERSHIP price.

Dang it…. I have a 2015 NX with no sound as well. I had no issue the day of, turned the car off, when i turned it back on to leave there was no sound. Is it normal for an amplifier to go out without any signs?! Could it be a ground wire issue?
