    I own a 2010 Prius II and today the radio display, volume, station tuner stopped working. As a matter of fact that whole section does not seem to be working. The buttons on the steering wheel also don't change anything anymore.

    Any thoughts? Or should I just take it to the dealer. I thought maybe it was a fuze but did not see anything in the manual.

    Welcome to PC :welcome: I see you own a 2010 so the question is do you have any warranty left? Are you the original owner?

    Yes I am the original owner.
    Yes, I have warranty left

    So by you asking are you thinking that something went wrong with the electronics?

    I was looking to see if others had the same problem. Anyway will await your suggestion.

    You could check fuse #8 under the hood. It is a 30 amp designated for the audio system. Also check fuse #2 over the driver's footwell area (not as easy to get to). If both are OK, I would suggest taking it to the dealer. If one of the fuses is blown, you still have a problem somewhere and it should be looked at. BTW, Toyota's mini-fuses are different than the standard mini-fuses you get at automotive stores. The standard ones don't seat all the way down like the Toyota fuses.
