So my radio is also stuck in the boot loop state if I were to buy one myself and hook it all up do they need to be programmed at all or do they come ready to use out of the box plug and play style. I see the one you showed in the video had to do the loading before it booted the first time. And do you think It would be worth it getting one off ebay or any similar place. Than you in advance for any possible advise!
As far as I know no programming is needed. I work at a dealership so we get the factory part. I would say as long you match up your part number with the new one it should be plug and play. I never had to program any radio.
Thank you very much for the quick reply I have had this problem for years now with my '14 Corolla. I am just finally having the time and money to look into getting it fixed. My wife and I had the part by it self quoted from the local dealer for around a 1000$ so I have been on the hunt through pick n pull and online to see if I could get one for a much better deal than that.
I don't know why it does that I've seen alot of these where the radio be frozen we always end up replacing the radio unit which is expensive. You can try disconnect the battery wait for while then reconnect and cycle the key on without starting the engine and see if that work if not you gonna need a radio. Toyota don't know how to make radio unfortunately this is a common problem
Nick do you have the pinout diagram of where wires go on the 10 pin connector

@6101Venom yes if you can find one elsewhere I would do that the dealership are expensive I've seen radio up to 5k on a 2022 rav4
Do you know why the radio would be stuck in “loading mode?” It will not go past the loading stage. It is a 2014 corolla. thanks!

@@Nickthecarguy Thank you for the advice, I’ll give that a try.
This seems to be a problem with all of their radios of that model. It's simply a matter of when.
