took my car in the morning and they are ordering the parts,I will update when its fixed.

 

A bit after buying my RS3 (wow, around a year ago now...) my right monitor went out. I took it into the dealership I bought it from and they fixed it for free; works great. I thought that they completely replaced the monitor, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

 

just got a call from our TOYOTA MOBILE TECH here and he said my parts are here. so i asked him what part are they? he said a "monitor". he said that he had swap the units around and the monitor turn on. so lets hope his diag is correct will update soon!!!

 

Its beginning to sound like our problems with the monitors continues to be a dealer wide guessing game, and not an easy strait forward fix.


It looks like a TSB on this issue will never happen.

* Off topic Rant warning *
My dealer treats my Scions like they were trash on the street. There is no way I'm going there to let them have at my interior playing the lets replace one part at a time till we get it right game.

Four wasted trips to get the DC sport muffler replaced on the 2.0, two days and a night at a hotel to have the cam gear replace. Scored a bent core support, gouged up paint, missing brackets, and dust covers for that trip. They keep my RS 4.0 half a day to put a missing one inch square tape section in my bumper appliqué just to scratch the paint and install it crooked. My wifes box got hit with the service guy driving it, they call me to the scene, and leave me to handle all the BS! I'm still not finished playing insurance games on that one.

I freaking hate Toyota service! I have a drama related story with ever experience! That was just the ones this past year!
Can anyone use 12 free oil changes? I'll never use them!
End of rant

This makes no sense, we all have similar problems with one of the two monitors acting up, but each one needs something different to fix it?

Its got to be the same messed up part, or parts, in all of them. Why can't we get someone to step up and help out the ones who have dealerships like mine. PLEASE. Can we try to get a TSB started through the ranks. Please.

 

what sux is that took my cars inside apart almost the whole inside to check wires when i told them what was wrong.they took my seats out and ____ and when they put them back in they didnt line them up that ____ed me off.now my passager seat moves a little back and forth got to go to dealer on monday. what i find funny is that they do call tmi and they say they dont know whatz wrong when they do.they just tell them to check all this ____ before saying just fix the av box and grey wire what is the problem.

 

man it seem like theres a lot of problems with these monitors in diffent states.too all my follow rs3 owners..good luck.. i just had my installer change my monitors and put in something diffent in there places. there both 7" ave monitor and they work off the same head unit much better. im still runnning the same head unit and are ruuning sun visors monitors and a 20" lcd monitor ..no problem what so ever. good luck all

 

i changed out my radio for a in dash touch screen navi/dvd unit. the monitors are still turning off with that. do you guys thing the dealer will give me poop about not having the factory radio in?

 

Yes. That's another reason I regret going. I added the video amp, and additional screens. I know they'll blame it on that.

 

to make it even worse, i have a full system too. i'm sure that they will try and blame that on it too

 

i started all these post on head rest here on scionlife 06greenmoster it will be very hard to have them do anything with aftermarket stuff in your car it took me year of bull____.i had to put my stock back in just to get it fixed.scion said if they found out i had stuff in there that was aftermarket would make it very hard to do it with out having me pay for it.because of tmi saying there nothing wrong with there stuff because that who they call to have it fix not tech line.

very upset with my TOYO dealership. the mobile tech was to show up today at my house at 9am waited til 10am still no MT. he was suppose to replace my dvd monitor. i even left a message around 9:30am and no call back from him..........so now the guns come out i will call the service manger and let him know that i'm a unhappy customer. i was told that SCION listens to their customers. is this tue? any suggestions?????

 

anyone one looking to get rid of their headunit msg me

 

Well im the latest victim of this problem... Today at a show my monitors started flickering on and off, and then died.. I can turn one on, but the minute I turn the second one on, they flicker then they shut off... But I noticed the infared emitters are blinking... So they didnt die, their still working, something is just screwy somewheres...

 

welcome to the club. sorry to hear about that thers is a fix they need to change the module for the power mine are doing the same thing,but im takeing them out and adding a diffent head unit and more monitors.whenim done with my project i will send a link to all my rs3 owners. so far so good right now. i suggest just taking out the hole unit and monitors and change them to some thing that you can count on..alpine and ave monitors good match up.

 

why should you take them out its only a av box that got to much power that it makes it reset.there good stuff just one bad part that happens in all stuff now i days.

 

Well now its happening to both Boxzila and Bridezila with the monitors shutting down
Happened to bridezila last week at Exposed in Jax and this weekend at another show with Boxzila and Bridezilas is still doing it. Does anyone know if a TSB has been put out yet!!!!! Im going to call my dealer today and was just wondering if there is anything more specific I can thell them

 

hit up member BADBASIC his name is Terry
I took my car in and they replaced the contol module on the monitors. Took about 20 min and never had any problems otherwise or any hassle for the other stereo upgrades done to the car. But any way ask him and he can get you the part number just tell him Jeff(TA2DBOX) sent you to him. Also I will try to find my repair bill and post up any info from it

 

Got this from a Scikotics member:


The module is located behind the glove box on the right kick panel , its held on with one 12mm bolt that secures the dash frame

there are two boxes mounted together , its the farthest one of the 2 .. the first one is a voltage stablizer .


The part came from
TMI Products inc
1493 Bentley dr
Corona , California 92879
1-800-624-7960 ext 149 or 170

Part # is PTS34-52060-AV AV Control module , the dealer can order it exchanged ..

The dealer can look up
Toyota warrenty Procedure bulliten
no. PRO06-12

this covers all the RS 3 av system ..

 

Thanks Guys!

 

Will my extended warranty cover this? The jackasses at the dealer in Eatontown want me to bring the wiring harness to stock before they can look at it and "Properly diagnose it". I used a couple taps on the audio out and the ignition wire... How can i avoid this? I have a business to run and a family to support.
