    My 2018 Tundra JBL radio is cutting on and off. When I start the truck the radio is working. Once I begin driving the truck the radio stations stop working. For a few weeks the radio would resume working sometimes and other times not. The strangest thing is the radio display shows the song on the faceplate but no music is coming through.
    I've tried all these things:
    -New Battery
    -Remove the faceplate and check connections
    -Updated the software
    -Check All fuses

    One of the other odd things is I can cut the truck off and open my doors and the radio will not start back. But when I leave the truck 5 minutes or longer it will cut back on.

    Wondering if there is some type of speaker bypass that is getting hot and shutting down?

    Maybe a fuse that reads good but gets hot and separates during operation?

    Just for clarification the only thing that stops working is the sound.

    Yes the display works even when the sound cuts off.

    Yes the AM, FM works till the sound cuts off. The screen still shows the song playing...just no sound.

    Yes you can still go between the FM/AM...even if the sound cuts off.

    The Bluetooth will work even when the sounds cuts off.

    The Nav still works.
