Screen Problems

[Aidey]

This last week the screen on my sat nav/ radio unit is turning itself off, anyone else had this?
Even when using the reversing cam it goes blank, with carplay, music on can still hear everything just no display, annoying fault, could it be the recent heat?

Have you tried resetting it?

[Aidey]

I havnt tried that , was just gooogling it ... is a reset holding the power button down?

[mcmaddy]

Yes, hold it in and then some more and then keep holding it until the VW logo reappears. Worth a try 👍

Thanks mate i'll try that...

I've just had to do mine twice over the last couple of days and it was sitting in 33° heat in a car park.

[Aidey]

right... its boiling here too, ive just moved to within a mile of the coast and it was 30+ all week so i think it affected the screen

The screen will be ok it'll be the processor and gubbins in the glovebox that'll be getting hot. Out of interest have you turned the air con vent off on the glove box? I have but I might open it and let some chilled air in.

Seems to have worked a treat, the vent in the glove box was also closed , no idea how, i'll blame the wife
