Centre display screen decided to have a day off!

[ross]

We have had our car for over a month now and it has been faultless until today. Went about a mile , realised I was in blissful silence , went to turn on radio and realised centre screen was blank ! ( top marks for observation ...)This was accompanied by a few messages relating to speed detect camera, brake assist blah blah . Tried the power off close and lock doors a couple of times but still nothing. On arriving home I disconnected the 12v battery, reconnected and everything back up and working OK.Hopefully just a glitch but not overly confidence inspiring ! Has anyone experienced this issue with their car ?

Agree, it's annoying and slightly worrying.
But chances are it will never happen again. Wouldn't worry to much.

If I understand you correctly you started to drive before the infotainment screen had booted and thus was blank. Usually if this happens you can press and hold the home button for > 10 seconds (I think) to reboot it.

It has happened to me more than a few times but the home button long press has always worked.

No, screen was completely dead on start up and on several subsequent start ups during the day . Only button below the screen working was the heater but even this did not light up as usual when pressed. Hopefully won't happen again but if it does I will try the home button 10 second press thanks.

You can also try the holding down the home button reboot before the battery disconnect as that sometimes wakes things up
