2011 Sienna she's been down for a bit and the last 2 drives I noticed that the sound was not going thru to the speakers saw a YT to check the fuses and thought that doesn't seem like it. Keep going with my looksy's and found this video. Just for giggles popped it off whilst the car was on and receiving BT from my phone unplugged the player and BAM just working again. I never/rarely ever use that DVD player so I'm thinking something else must be causing this issue. Anywho thanks for the upload looks like you helped a ton of folks with this problem. Kudos man 👍👍

I had the same problem. This fixed it. The only problem is that now I have no entertainment system. Great job you've done with the audio, Toyota!! You fu..ed up really good!

I have a previous generation Sienna and there is no sound either, I'll try to turn off the DVD and see what happens

Thank you! Did the trick. My kids are out of house and no longer taking road trips with us so no need for the DVD player.

How did Toyota make such a bad system!!!!!

Totally fixed my issue! Thank you VERY MUCH!

Thank you Carlos, this fix worked for me, restored my AM, FM, and Blue Tooth sounds. I was wondering if: Anyone found a thread showing how we can repair the rear enterteinment system (it seems like paying a ferw hundred $ from E-bay, the problem is bound to happen again). Also wondering if some of you are also having other potentially related electrical issues: zero of four of my rear passenger dome lights are working. I checked each fuse in both fuse boxes, all good.

2012 Siena…worked immediately. Some discs got jammed in my DVD player, and I’ve had no audio ever since. Makes sense that disconnecting the dvd audio would be a quick fix. Thank you so much 🤟🏼🤟🏼 No more Bluetooth speakers in the cup holder 🤣

It worked for me! Thank you!

How to take off the cover ?

Thank you, it`s really work.

Thanks.🎉 Houston, we have sound.🎉

Same problem fixed. Thank you!.

Thank you so much for this, I have just fixed my sienna 2013 limited edition with this.

This worked for me! Thanks a lot. I had taken the car to the local Toyota dealer, and they kept if for a day trying to diagnose the problem, with no luck.

Thanks so much! I’ve spent hours trying to figure this out without any success, but my audio is working again after watching your video.

I had the same problem in a 2011 Sienna. And it worked. Your comment about how to remove the panel was really helpful. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you 🙏 for your help did work

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Thanks for the video. Very nice solution to the problem. Worked perfect for me.

Thank you Carlos, took me 1 minute to remove the plastic cover disconnect the DVD, as soon as I did it, boom baby, audio it’s working again. Saved me a lot of money

Thanks, Carlos!!! Brilliant. I have 2011 Sienna Limited, and that immediately allowed speakers to work. Appreciate your sharing this!

Worked thx !!

THANK YOU!!!!! I have been searching for 6 months how to fix this without taking it to the dealership everything I found said replace the dvd system which is $2400 I didn’t want to do that I just wanted the speakers to work took all of 2 minutes to pop the plastic cover off and disconnect the wire and the speakers immediately came on

Same problem, unplugging DVD player worked!

Ok I just tried this and it worked for mine as well. So what is the fix? Replace the DVD screen?

Mine did the same thing but if you put a DVD in it the radio plays fine.

I fucking love this guy

resolved, on my case i disconnect everything and was the same thing i end up replacing the amplifier under the passenger seat and fix the issue, before replace the amplifier i open it up and find some resistors full of rust and cat hair, hope this help, $260 on ebay

I can’t believe it worked!!! Thanks soo much! Nobody seemed to figure it out until I came across this video. Thanks!!! -

This worked for my 2012 Toyota Sienna Limited. Dealer was asking for over $1200 dollars to replace system. I pried open the cover from the four corners with a flat screwdriver and disconnected the cable as shown in the video. I haven't used the rear DVD in many years. Now the radio and CD player are working. Thanks.

And my DVD player does not work at all. No option even on the touchscreen. It just disappeared one day.

My problem now is radio switches modes between CD, FM and AM, like it is possessed. I am going to try this fix to see if that will do the trick. Too expensive to replace radio in 2012 with over 100,000 miles. lol

I came across this after my 2009 XLE started not having audio and the volume knob and steering wheel controls not working (possible after needing a jump start, not sure if it's related). Tried everything and checked all the fuses, found nothing wrong. Then I decided to try the DVD player. To my surprise when I inserted a disc the audio came on. My DVD player is working but not through the car audio system, but through the headjacks. My car audio (FM, AM, CD player) won't have any audio unless the DVD player is on!? I came across this TH-cam when I am trying to search for answers?!

RESOLVED!!! After first trying fuses, then replacing Multimedia Interface - I purchased a replacement rear entertainment screen (Part# 594-01304) from eBay (paid around $125). Swapped it out in about 10 minutes (the MMI took hours of taking the dash apart and back together - so I wish I did this first!) and it just fired right up and started playing. DVD tab came back to the menu, audio fixed, and remote & headphones just work. Glad to have it fixed, and hope this will help others! EASY FIX!

I did the same but it still doesn't work help me, thanks

How do you remove the cover? With a flat screwdriver?

Replace the overhead screen. Happened to me before and it's working again.

Why is this happening? I have the same year. They are all failing. This should be a recall to fix this.

same problem

I have the same problem same model and year. Thank you for your help

Update: I’ve called several audio car shops and basically what I need to do is replace the DVD player, it will be around $400 - $700.
