2021 VX Speaker Balance issues

[DozerKing Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close DozerKing]

Firstly Hi everyone,

my stereo is set for balance precisely in the middle, front to back and left to right, can only hear sound from the left side of car, when I move the balance to the RHS it becomes crackly and is noticeably quieter. when I move it back to center or to the left it becomes clear and loud.

Has anyone found the same problem?

Does anyone have any idea on this?

Not in my Prado, but one of the previous car I had.

You car should have a JBL 14 speaker system, running a amplify under driver's seat.

Check again if just one of the speaker has crackly sound + quiet? Or the entire RHS is the same (by going RHS front and then RHS middle and then RHS rear).

If just one of the speaker, it's an individual speaker problem, have you been to water crossing or something?

If it's the entire right hand side, I believe it would be the amplify has the problem. Since it's a 2021 you should still be covered by the warranty and can get it fixed by dealer.

checked again and it is working perfectly, spoke to my salesman as we only just bought the car and he said it sounds like the Amp, has not been through any water.

See if you can get the amp replaced before it runs out of warranty.
