Very helpful video. Everyone is making hardcore build videos on KZfaq but these are the type of videos that actually help people. Thanks!

Bro the same exact thing happened to mine probably 8 months ago and I've been desperately trying to find other solutions without going to the dealership or replacing the radio or entire system and just now 15 minutes ago I get on KZfaq just scrolling through the suggested videos and this popped up. I can't tell you how excited I am right now to finally ditch the Jerry rigged sound bar and have my actual sound system back, definitely subscribed to you!

Nice video Chris very informative ! Can’t believe you were without music for so long glad you got it back!,

My whole radio just shorts out all the time, it almost has a mind of its own! You need to fix the leak issue. I took my car to Lexus and they said the same thing!! They said they need to fix the leak and the amp at the same time and were charging me close to $2k! I will update you with the aftermarket amp and see if the full headset works. Luckily I got a free one so I will be trying that and if that doesn't work I'll have to go your route and get mine fixed. Glad you linked the united Radio... this video is everything!!!

Good video bro, Good video. I'm reading the comments and its seems like that is a common problem with the IS. I hope it's not cuz I'm saving for one so I can finally be a part of the lexus crew. Keep posting bro, your channel is dope, plus Jason Nguyen is killing it over in Cali, so you gotta hold it down for NYC! Stay safe.

Thank you for posting this !! Been wondering for about a week now what’s going on with my audio. Checked the amp and it’s flooded in water 😭

If you have disconnected the battery with the OLD AMPit would work again for few days and the it would trigger the protection again. The best way to clear the code is to go to the System Check Mode (the Green/Gray Screen Menu) where you checked for the AMP Status and Clear All the CODES by pressing and holding on "Memory CLR" until all codes are cleared. Then turn off the car, open the door, close the door, lock the car and re-open the car, start the engine and VOILA!!!! You still have tofind a way to fix for the water condensation in the trunk where the AMP is. Maybe drill a hole, or insulate the amp with some plastic or foam materials. Thanks

BRUH!!!!! Sick vid thanks for taking the time to put it together. I’ll be working on this today after a rain here yesterday. One question: How do we fix the leaking vent to avoid future water intrusion? Is it a replaceable part??

Same thing just happened to my amp 🤦🏽‍♂️. So did you end up placing the amp in a better location? I’m about to have it repaired as well but don’t want it to just sit in the same spot where water leaked through.

Bro, thank you so much for sharing the link. That was my concern. Didn't want to run an aftermarket radio.

So you only replaced your amp and it worked? I am having the same exact problem Like you and I’m trying to figure it out

I feel so bad for you buddy. You seem genuine, I hope it's better now.

Heyy im currently dealing with this rn, the whole thing where the amp was was saturated with water but I haven't been able to unplug that bigger plug with the black piece, how did u remove the big plug? Helppppp

Hello Budd.. hey i have a similar problem but mine only the FM and AM radio stations dont work.. my sound is working with my phone connected with the Bluetooth.. do you think is the amp as well?

Did you have to replace the speakers or just the amp??

Glad you back to 💯 bro. Keep doing more vids.

At the nine minute mark, I got excited with you !!! 😅😅 congrats

Thanks for the info. I'm having the same issue no radio no display working just the air and heat. I'm asking everyone one with this issue to contact your state's Attorney General office and file a complaint. If they get enough complaints they will make Lexus do a recall.

So I watched your video because I was having the same problem. I decided to open my trunk and what did I fine water in my trunk in water where my amplifier is this video was very helpful. I couldn’t believe we had the same exact problem. I called Lexus headquarters and reported this issue and I told them they need to fix it.

Great video bro 👌🏼 Keep it up

Dude... this is happening to me right now!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting this.

THANKS SO MUCH MAN! This was the best video I have seen made on this issue, YOU DA MAN!!

Hey bro your video is very informational, I'm going through the same issue and I was wondering if you would share with me what the cost of repairs was?

glad you fixed the situation now you can listen to music again anyways keep doing more awesome videos

Did you now where the water in getting in to the car ? Have the same problem water in the amp base

So you just sent your water damaged amp to united radio ? How long did it take to get it back ?

Love your attitude. Good info.

where did you buy the amp? same thing happened to me brother

Yea same thing happened to mine. That flap that is under that spot by the amp let’s water in. Heard flap can be fixed but I’m scared and might re route to above on the carpet like you had it. Similar issue on my RCF. I think it’s bad location for the amp set up. Sucks tho. The new amps are 600 to repair. 1000 for refurbished. Both come with year warranty. Or new amp is 22-2500.

This same thing just happened to my 2014 Lexus IS 250 but also the screen would power on and off all the time before the sound completely stopped. If I get a new AMP will it fix both issues? I was hoping to get an aftermarket radio but everywhere I asked, said they couldn’t do it. 😢

So how much did you pay for the repair? I got the exact same problem

What did you use to remove it? I’m trying to remove mine and the 10 mm wrench won’t give me the angle I need

Should i unplug my battery before taking out the damaged amp or only when installing the new amp??

Where did you place your new amp?

How much did you pay for the repair of your amp?

I have the same issue for the longest … this what I’ve learn. My radio has no sound, no volume indicator .. I replace my amp a new one, even though I have no signs of water leaks, it did not fix it, but I did cut my carpet and relocate my amp into the trunk for safety . Next I spent $900 for a radio of eBay, it fixed it. I have sound, 10 months later … same issue again .. I talk to a tech where I had my sub install … long story he believe there’s a defect with this particular year of radio … so I’m going send my radio out to have it repaired internally.

Quik question bro was your rr racing tune just plug and play or did you have to upgrade your factory computer first..

how much did u pay to get ur amp fixed cuz i left my sunroof open nd my amp was lik ur amp in water

Great video, my friend really helped me a lot to solve my problem.

Thanks for the vid bro

I have the same issue every time it rains water gets in that same spot and it doesn't work until it gets dry I have no idea how the water gets in and I bought it with a blown amp since I didn't check the radio when I bought it

How long did it take for the repairs? Im going through the same shit smfh

I have the same issue now. With my gs350. It’s under warranty so we will see tomorrow when I go to the dealer.

What year was your car ?

I been had this issue for a whole year now too man, I tried everything. Definitely gonna have to check those guys out to repair

So did you get a new amp? Or just disconnected the battery

I got rear ended by a semi truck long story short Lexus doesn’t even want to look at since it was totaled I’m having the same issue and no one knows what’s wrong with it I’m definitely gonna try this , did you have to buy extra cords that attach to the amp ?

Hey bro I’m having the same issues with my car, what fuse did you check?

Dude how did you take JUST the one panel off without having the remove all the other panels in the trunk? Every video I’m watching they gotta remove the main panel where the tire sits to get to the panel where the AMP is 😭😭

It's crazy how its Spring but we still gotta wear coats and layers here in NY. SMH

Im goin through the Same thing rn the way you put this vid is great gonna get the amp from a partout and see what happens the sound system is not too bad from what everyone says

Omg same. I'm in Dallas too & this happened to me in November. It's now March. Has anyone else found a reasonable priced fix for this??

My infotainment system keeps restarting, would the amp be related to this issue?

This was my EXACT issue as well smh 🤦🏽‍♀️, I just bought one used on eBay for $650!!!! I see so many similar comments here, WOW. Lexus needs to be held accountable for this. How is this not a recall?!!!!! UGH

Hey I don’t know if I missed anywhere in the comments but how did the water get in there? though dealing with the same issue

Dawg. Thank you so much 😅❤

My head unit don’t work either do you think this could be the same problem?

We had really bad rain here in dallas a few days ago. 8/22/22 and I’m having the same issue. There were floodings it was pretty bad. I was driving from dropping off the kids from school and ran through a puddle. Which I had ran into after taking a new route home cause the route I was on there were cars stuck in the water. It was very high up to the cars windows and I wasn’t abt to go through that.

My shit is just like that. I had to ride around with my Bluetooth speaker in the car. I still can’t figure out how the water gets in my trunk. I covered the air vents after it survived the 1st water issue and the water still got in. I need to figure that part out now. I think it creeps in through a lil space separation from the body and the rear bumper. I was just like you tho before I found it…devastated and super excited when I found the issue. Then It happened again lol. It’s been months and the crazy part is some days it randomly comes back on then goes out during the drive. Imma have to pay that $650 if it’s still $650

Does anyone know my radio does not work at all it says the program can’t be read consult to the dealer so I don’t know what is wrong

Had this same issue 3 months after I got my car but I had warranty it took lexus 3 months to fix my car. But I had a nice loaner lol

And bro how did you remove the amp ? It’s a pain in the ass to get it out lol

Bro my 2015 is250 amp turns on during sunny days and doesn’t work on rainy days it’s pretty crazy considering it’s a Lexus lol everyone says it’s the vent and moisture but not sure man

what uuuup bro big fan outa the bay area Cali gotta 350 just like urs I wanna say u got the water from all that snow out there brotha lol notice water in my trunk one year after going to Tahoe.

I got this issue also… garage kept car I need to see if there is water damage

My sister has the same exact car as mine 2014 Lexus IS 250 and my boy has the same as that year but the F sport. We all have the same problem the radio and navigation system and the cigarette lighter charger and the USB charger comes on and off and then sometimes the radio comes on stays on for about couple minutes and then turns off. And then sometimes it just stays black on the navigation screen no radio no nothing. Then sometimes the screen is black but it has some words on the screen that says a program cannot be read please consult to a dealer. My friend thought it was the radio so he change the radio same problem

Mines went out last year. I found a used one on marketplace for only $135

🫡🫡appreciate this video so much ‼️🙏🏾

How do you water proof amp ?

My amp stopped working due to humidity when it rains and needs to dry out then it works. I bought used one from eBay and did not put amp back into metal mount but wrapped with towel and kept in back of trunk and DID not put it back in amp compartment and towels solved issue of humidity damaging the amp

That vent next to the amp is where the water comes in from…i sealed mine because of this issue

Can someone please helppp. Mine says audio off and wont change, cd player making noise constantly. No sound when i hit buttons and no hands free Bluetooth anymore, aircon everything else works. Checked fuses and even replaced a couple and they seem ok .. i think i found the amp and there was a 5 c coin near there i removed??. This happened after i spilt mineral water around my hear stick cigarette lighter etc. Even the charger still works where i spilt water there!? Wtf happened i cant figure it out 😭 i dont know if i need a new amp and dont want a dealership to exploit me plus i literally have zero $$. Can anyone help. I dont kniw how to reset my amp or nav system/ audio. All i can find is hold the volume and power button down which does literally nothing 😩🤦‍♀️ please help someone, everything going wrong lately! Cant even afford a service!!

GUYS THE WATER IS FILTERING TROUGH 1. One of the clips in the back of the truck, or number 2 the back lights.Same problem here. Just trying to help someone out that’s trying to figure out where the water is coming from

That should be a recall

Yo how much does it cost to get it repair ?

2016 RC 200t I’m dealing with the same issue. I just disconnect my amp. Gonna have to look for a replacement. fml

Where is the amp located?

Bro, I have the SAME issue right now. This would be my 2nd time replacing my amp…is there a way you can provide a link for the amp? I seen a lot of ppl selling used ones for like $500 or so…how much was this one?!

How is the water getting in there?

Damn bro I just checked my AMP it’s not flooded, it’s dry my radio works it’s just the volume

Awesome video. The amp was flooded with water.

Guys he said he paid 650 to get it repaired.

What did they fix?

No petition or lawsuit?

Send the amplifier to OEM Auto Audio Inc. out of Manlius, NY - they fixed my amplifier quickly and let me know that the pressure vent mounted above the amplifier caused the leak.

My amp not showing on the damn hidden menu, sent the amp out comes back with a pass report. Take the center console out clean every connector, take the radio out and do the same and notice the radio had some hand written numbers as if they replace it to. I'm getting fed up and just like you I didn't check the damn radio and the dealer kept playing with me. Did you buy that car from some indian guys in ny? I think u got a white f-sport correct? Someone bough the car from under me back in March so it would be funny if it was you, I ended up buying one local the week after

Mines been going in and out I just pop the top plastic cover and put my old floor mats over it. Been working fine now

My i find inside that box a sortcircuit to sam microcip i try clin now to try fix

How much $$

I have the same problem with my 2k9 Lexus is250....

This just happen to me today, no audio no volume indicator, I think it’s the amp.

you dont need to change your head to add an bass amp just get a line out converter for 10 bucks

so he doesnt say what caused the water

same thing happened to my amp, i threw it in the oven

This just happened to me!

I’m having the same issue with my 2021 is300 bruh

This needs to be a recall. People needs to call lexus headquarters and make a complaint. If newer buyers findout about this existing issue. They wont buy their cars.

Shit just happened to me 🤦‍♂️
