+1 to SleepKing, my RC-F happened this afternoon as well, but the wife's IS is okay so far. Made appt for Friday, but may cancel. I am going to try the battery trick as well.

It hasn't happened on my RC yet (only had it 1.5 weeks) but the nav/stereo shut down completely on my wife's 2015 NX. It's definitely a Lexus wide issue.

The satellite is down and will be back up tomorrow. Don't panic. It's temporary.

I'm happy it's not only me but annoyed that it's occurring to all of us, this is insane I've had so many issues with my RCF and I'm sure their going to advise use to bring it and stay a couple of days at the dealer which is ridiculous. Hope this is resolved without taking it in.

Default 2016 RC Audio constantly resetting

My system also started resetting about every 10 seconds and will not stop. I just head from the dealer and it is a nationwide issue caused by a satellite outage (Evidently need to reboot the satellite LMAO).
The dealer offered to reset my system which they say takes about 30 minutes. If I only didn't need to drive 45 minutes each way to get it reset!

When they say they are going to reset the system, they are simply going to disconnect your battery. It takes about 30 minutes for your capacitors to drain.

Do it yourself at home.

Lexus officially confirmed the issue, but have they officially confirmed that it has been fixed & the battery trick will work? I don't want to have to do the battery thing twice as I am already irritated that I have to do it in the first place.

Here is the chat reply from Lexus corporate website as of 10 min ago: "We're aware that beginning morning 6/7/2016 many of our vehicles' head units stopped working. Our key partners, Toyota Tech Center and TMS Product Quality are all fully engaged and investigating this issue as a top priority. The teams are working around the clock to find a solution ad we will alert you as soon as we have more information." In response to "...should I go to a dealer?" the answer was : "Yes, they will use a quick remedy however, you may still experience issues until the software has been updated".

I'll take that as a "We still haven't gotten this **** figured out, so just chill."

Disconnecting the battery is only a temporary fix...did it for my sister's NX in the morning yesterday, but the problem was back in the afternoon.

Hopefully Lexus will have it resolved soon. Annoying not to have radio/media functions.
