My stereo stopped working for a minute
Driving down the freeway, five minutes from home, stereo blasting, all of a sudden, no sound. It just went away. This is the first time. I couldn't get anything to work, am/fm radio, aux, cd, not even the voice commands. Pulled into my driveway, turned off the car, waited a second, turned it back on, everything is back to normal. Dunno what happened.

Seriously, I do hope you resolve this one soon.

I actually said that didn't I. Ironic isn't it. But I was playing a cd at the time everything quit and now that everything is fine, hopefully it won't ever happen again. As far as I can ascertain, the speakers quit for a second.

It took a couple of presses to scroll from aux to fm to cd/dvd and sometimes the steering wheel buttons didn't respond. I'll check close next time if this happens but my bt phone nothing is unusual about it at this point.

Ok, the real reason why this all happened was from this post https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=193497 after I read it.
Seems I had my nano connected to the aux port straight from the earjack. Even though I have the Belkin charger plugged into the nano dock port. I didn't realize the Belkin charger had a jack built into the charger so you don't have to connect thru the Nano earjack. Once I switched over, my setup sounded a lot better.
Then I wanted to see how close this partucular setup came to putting that same music on a CD and it's at this point, now I can't tell that much of a difference between a straight CD and using the nano connected to the aux port using the dock plug (not the earjack).
