    I am hoping someone can help me out.
    I have a 2014 Tundra SR-5 4x4. I purchase my truck new. At 37,034 miles my Stereo started to act-up. At first it would turn on and off, I took it to my local Toyota dealer and they told me my Stereo was going bad and I needed to replace it at a cost of $1,275, I said no way.
    I came home and started looking into an aftermarket radio, I found one for $499.00. That same day I had to connect my trailer and transport my tractor 100+ miles away. I noticed my radio never turned off. I arrived home and disconnected the trailer. 2 days later the radio started blinking on and off but the Auto never quit, the screen just blinked and go blank for 2 to 5 min and turn on and off. a few weeks later I connected my trailer again and my lights wouldn't work, I checked the wiring harness on the hitch and had no power. I found a blown fuse so I replaced it, power came on. I connected the trailer and took a 35 mile ride. Again the radio kept turning off and on. I came home and disconnected the trailer, to my surprise i had no more issues with my radio again or the trailer connections for 14 months. in January 2018 my radio started flickering again, a few weeks later it started turning off and on Audio and screen, now the radio turned off and wouldn't turn back on unless I disconnect the battery for several min and reconnect the battery and starting the vehicle, the radio comes on and works until i turn the motor off, and its back to the same-thing, wouldn't turn on.
    I understand that I may need to reFlash the program on the stereo. Can someone please help me with some advice.
