Problem overview

Some Lexus RX350 owners report experiencing issues with the Mark Levinson radio, including intermittent shut-offs and a blank screen, which may indicate a malfunction in the system. These owners have noted that the radio may change stations or switch modes unexpectedly. Additionally, some users report loud crackling noises from the stereo, potentially linked to these shut-off issues. Problems with adjusting the sound system have also been highlighted, suggesting deeper issues with the Mark Levinson setup. In some instances, inspecting fuses related to the amplifier and radio components may help identify a blown amp causing the radio to shut off. Wiring harnesses, connectors, or solder points on circuit boards might also contribute to the problem, and it is advisable to seek professional assistance if the vehicle is still under warranty. Furthermore, poor bass response and excessive treble have been reported, indicating a need for adjustments to achieve better sound quality. Owners experiencing these issues are encouraged to consult a qualified technician or contact Lexus customer support for assistance.
