Media display panel not working

Post by HPJ »

My media display panel has stopped working, just a blank screen, although radio still works. Does anybody have any ideas?

Try a hard reboot by press and holding the power button on the headunit until the Volkswagen splash screen appears :)

Thanks Jammydodger, went out to the car to try your suggestion, turned the ignition on and of course the unit lit up and worked perfectly. Anyway, at least I now know what to do next time.
Thanks again.

There's been numerous software updates for media units, you best go to VW retailer and get them to check it out but make sure you tell them exactly what's happening
