    So I’ve had my 4 runner for 3 years now it’s a 2019, sr5, this morning radio was working fine, left work radio was working fine, got to my other job about to leave n my radio just not working the Bluetooth, the radio station nothing is working. The volume I can’t see it on the screen. The screen is on but anything I hit it doesn’t work. I turned my car on and off about 3x, reset by hitting the button n did it that way and nothing..

    You stated you hit the radio button…

    Did you hold the volume button down until the head unit rebooted?

    Remove battery for 10 mins and reconnect. That should hard reset it

    yes I did that’s what I meant I held the volume button down, I noticed something was off cause when I started my car the Toyota thingy that pops up on the screen kept staying on longer then usual, usually it pops up then my phone connects but it took for ever for the screen to even pop up for the Bluetooth or radio station.

    Welcome

    It's a software issue. Either needs to be reset, updated, reloaded. Which ever you can get done. If the battery thing doesn't work, you're not gonna be able to get the option to update. So replacing may need to be your option.

    So give it the disconnected battery and check tomorrow ( you can reconnect the battery but give the radio time to come back). If not play your phone on speaker until you decide what to replace it with
