Car Radio CDIN Flashing problems ?

Probably easiest to just get a new head unit. There is a small RFID transceiver ring around the ignition switch but putting aluminum foil around the key shouldn't have caused any damage. It's entirely possible that the radio has just expired of natural causes.

The radio was used but at a low usage. I can't believe it, as mentioned the FM still works but AM doesn't and neither does the CD as it keeps saying CDIN. And Toyota informed me radio problems are not common.

I suppose better to buy a 3rd party unit over Toyota brand, you don't believe a CD is in the unit either, just died naturally.
