Nav Screen goes dark after starting car..

[tmf2004]

So yesterday i drove the car to work like normal. only this time i get in, start the car and the screen is black.. Whats weird is the reverse camera works, music works, but no screen?

I called Bluelink on the way to work and she advised doing a reset of the unit and if that didn't work take it the dealer...

So as i got closer to work i pulled over, turned off the car,waited a few seconds, started the car back up and the screen is working fine... Has this happened to anyone? I'll keep an eye on it but i thought it was strange..

Maybe a glitch somewhere?

Think of this thing as a computer. Sometimes it just needs to be rebooted.

Had this happen on very car I have owned with a nav unit or multi-media screen. Unless it happens frequently, it is just technology gremlins which are everywhere.

The A/V, voice recog., etc. on this car is a work in progress. Fortunately, I bought the vehicle for more substantive reasons - engine, brakes, design, comfort, etc. And, it has been absolutely flawless in those respects.

As long as the screen doesn't alternate between black and the Genesis wing, you're fine. I'm afraid this is the equivalent to a PC's blue screen of death. I just had my head unit replaced after this happened to me.

so far so good for the last couple of days... No issues.. but i dont see "wings" on the Nav screen like someone else mention in another post.. Or is it the dash screen? At start up i just get a warning box to "accept" or "not accept"

I don't usually see the wings on the NAV screen at startup. I do see them in the dash.

If I reset the system, I do see the wings first thing on the NAV.

The nav will start to boot up when you unlock the car, so if you unlock as you approach it or delay starting the screen will be beyond the "wings" stage when it comes on.
