Lexus radio or navigation system constantly restarting

It appears that Lexus did an update on June 7 2016 causing a lot of Lexus entertainment system to become stuck in a loop when booting up. You can disconnect the - negative battery terminal or pull the radio fuse for a minute which should resolve the issue. I have confirmed either method will work as I have disconnected the battery terminal on my car and now the fuse on another car in this video. Both cars are a Lexus IS however I do recommend this method which is pulling the fuse as it's much safer and simpler.

    Thank God for this post. On my 2019 NX, I deleted personal data (you've gotta be quick. Lol). It then prompted me to update my Enform. It never shut off after the update.

    Turn off all power sources in car, chargers, dash cams , dash lights strobe lights , disconnected battery for 4 hours , clean battery connectors. Leave unplugged for 3-4 hours. Re-connect. Check back trunk at right there is amplifier, check for wet areas, put in garage , dry with hair dryer bone dry, leave for a while and it will work.

    I've tried this on several Lexus and Toyota vehicles and not once has it worked. I also called three Lexus dealers and they said there was no such problem with an update. They did, however offer to do a current update with a USB drive for $175.00

    I unplugged all battery terminals and sanded everything then i also removed the fuse and sanded that a little bit and plugged everything back in,then i just pressed the on button once with no brakes and it restarted the system,then deleted all personal settings and reset everything to factory settings and it worked , it turns on every time it just takes like 10 seconcs to turn on but ay it turns on so far .. well see in a few days. Let me know if your radio turns on as soon as the car does or if it also takes a few seconds to turn on because maybe thats normal idk

    This happened to my on my 2104 IS250 Fsport and for some reason it had to do with the sad card. If I had it out it would boot up just fine as soon as I put the SD card in it would keep resetting. The issue I noticed was something went wrong during my update and I had to delete personal data and redo the update for it to work again. Very strange issue but I hope this helps anyone who runs across the same thing.

    Thanks for the video but I have a 2014 Lexus I S2 50 also my little sister has the same exact car same year same model. My good friend has the same exact car well not exact but it’s F sport he just got it about seven months ago And then he tells me his friend has the same kind of car is mine and all of us we go to the dealership they say we don’t know I can be a battery I could be an amplifier Cuz rain can get in it and gets destroyed blah blah blah.. I change the fuse for the radio same thing I thought I was the only one my sister Barca over two years ago she said the first year was fine and then she started noticing the radio comes on and off every like 5 to 7 minutes she been driving to work like that until one morning she drove to work the radio came on and then it shut off and never came back on black screen so before me noticing or heard that my friend and his friend have the same problem they brought it to the dealership dealership said most likely it’s a radio so he was a dumb ass and listen to the mechanic at the Lexus dealership change the radio and spent a lot of money what do you know same shit nothing change so he wasted his money for nothing and then another guy goes that worked at this car when it rains a lot of rain a lot of water I can get in to your amplifier so I think it’s your amplifier! So my friend gave him a reasonable doubt and change the amplifier and spend more money!!! So what’s the odds of four people that know each other have the same car same year same model and have the same damn problem? Not just us I read so much and her KZread channel and Lexus forum. Nothing like going to a dealership and they telling you they don’t know what can it be you’re a mechanic you work at Lexus dealership you just know what it is but you don’t want to fix it because it’s a recall!!!! I’m pretty sure thousands of people with this type of car this model it’s not a coincidence
