I have a 2004 GS430 , For awhile now, everytime I start the car, the stereo may or may not come on . The stereo is obviously on and playing but nothing is coming through the speakers. The speakers are working because the navigational system gives me directions with no problem. NOW, the stereo will not go throught the speakers at all these days. The stereo is stock with the navigational system integrated with it. Also has an after market Ipod module (maybe the problem?). The Ipod and everything worked fine for a few years till now. I was wondering if there was something I can simply do (like wiggle this, or wiggle that-lol) before I send it to the dealer. Her name is Lucy by the way. She's a great car, but she's not cooperating right now. She should know how important it is for me to have my tunes !
Any advice?

ls430? i think you're in the wrong forum.....


if you mean you have a GS430, i know the levinson systems are notorious for having problems.

in this particular case, i'd look for loose speaker connections, loose connections to the back of the head unit, check to make sure the ipod unit is connected to a stable aux in source, and then check the factory amp to make sure its still working.

much outside of that, check the fuses. if theyre all fine, it could be a problem with wiring. if not, your head unit itself may be going bad, though i'm nearly sure the nav head unit has no history of going bad in such a short period of time.
