Yes. The HD is what's causing the issue Worthless owner's manual has no instructions and there is no intuitive way to turn it off. All I was able to see was the button to turn HD off on the current channel. It would have to be turned off every time the radio station was changed.

Had this happen earlier this week. Car would not go into Drive. Then displayed screen of death. Brought it to Santa Monica Toyota. No codes were stored. Tesla did their secret thing. Their solution: Installed updated firmware. No issues since.

Santa Monica Toyota disabled the HD! Apparently it is possible and they know how!

Are you guys paying for the TSB to be performed or is it covered under the warranty?

4getgas is mine :)

It's exactly what's happening. I'll keep you all updated if I make progress with the Corporate Specialist. I'm trying to get a meeting w him for the 2nd week of May. I want HD permanently disabled.

I tried your method and cannot make mine throw the error code.

Thanks Devin. I found it. For whatever reason HD won't stay off, not even when the preset is saved new with HD off. I'm just going to complain to Toyota and see what they end up doing (hoping some tech can permanently disable it). Very dumb design IMO. In the mean time I'll continue...

I'm having this exact same problem; twice in two days. Has anyone gotten a dealer to correct this? Or do they just spout out the regular lazy "could not duplicate intermittent problem" nonsense?

That tends to prove that Toyota has a defective design. Does anyone know how to turn off HD?? The owner's manual is entirely ineffective for this. I turned off the adaptive sound but I'm still hearing the muffled/quiet to clear/loud transition.

Thank you, I just turned off the dynamic volume so we'll see how it goes. Thanks to everyone who responded. I officially hate the HD radio. What a stupid piece of useless technology. I live in the city so there's no reason why a strong FM station should sound like garbage.

Thank you for your quick response. Does the sound quality go from quiet and muffled to loud and clear when going in and out of HD? It seems like an electrical problem to me because other cars I've driven do not have HD capability and they have not played quiet, muffled music.

Hi all, When listening to the radio the music will get muffled and quiet for 10-15 seconds and then it gets loud and clear. It oscillates back and forth like this after driving for 20 minutes and it's incredibly obnoxious. Has happened since day one. Santa Monica Toyota has been 100% useless...
