Strange Entune question. Black screen.

so a strange thing started this morning. My head unit is blank. Still getting power as the buttons are backlit. If I put it in reverse the camera works fine, but that’s it. Nothing else shows up. Any thoughts?

 

Have you tried resetting it?

 

Did you turn off the screen by accident?

 

Is there a hard reset somewhere? Or we talking just disconnecting the battery?

 

Lol checked that, this was my first guess.

 

I have mashed every button in that thing to no avail.

 

Hold down the volume button to force it to reset. The startup dialog will appear upon reset.

 

I will give it a shot. Thank you

 

Let us know if that fixes it!

 

Ok... figured it out.. perfect storm here:

I am due for scheduled maintenance so that pop up shows up each time I start.

My SD card for the head unit had gone bad.

Ok startup, it was trying to force the maintenance notification to my head unit, but since the SD card was bad, it was erroring and causing a blank screen.

Pop the SD card out and restart the vehicle and everything works great.

 

My entune system is doing the same thing right now. I popped the sd card out, restarted it and it’s still black. Maybe if I replace the card?? ‍♂️ Did you replace yours?

 

I've got an OEM SD Navigation card 86271-183 if you need one. It is a few series old so it won't show newly constructed neighborhood streets but everything else is up to date and it works perfectly. $10 with USPS shipping if you want it.

 

I have an appointment At Toyota on Monday. Hopefully They can resolve it quickly and free, if not I’ll take you up on that offer. Thanks!
