How often do you have to reboot large screen?

Haven't run into that issue yet I had the car two weeks

Never reset it, not even once. I picked up the car in March

Turns out, through some trial and error, I figured out it was how the "explicit" tag in Podcast Addict (**) was presenting over the Bluetooth audio that was causing the crash. I soon as I turned that off, the problem fixed itself. That was a lot of money down the tubes for nothing. Anyone want to buy a perfectly good APIM and screen? ?

oh I have another story to tell here too: there is an excellent episode of the excellent podcast "99% Invisible" that talks about a very specific Mazda infotainment system bug. it's a great listen:

The Roman Mars Mazda Virus - 99% Invisible (99percentinvisible.org)

Most programmers will see the punchline coming but it's still fun.

Yeah I mostly enjoyed this episode when I first heard it on Reply All, and listened once again on 99PI.

I say "mostly" because I was listening via MyFordTouch ('wince') in my Fiesta over Bluetooth from, you guessed it, Podcast Addict.

I had to reset a fuse behind the glove box in order to reset the APIM, several dozens of times during 7-8 years of ownership. But not even once while listening to that Mazda episode!

I remember that episode, very cool

I have my car since 1st july and I have never to reboot the main screnn.

It's just a blank screen until i reboot, then it's fine. Happens on start up. Small display looks normal, but large screen just doesn't come on.

Doesn't sound normal. I have had to reset mine about 3 times in 7 1/2 months.

The only time I had to reboot was when i impatiently start pushing on the screen during startup?

 

[rmibou]

2 times in 5 months

Iv’e had the Smurfmobile for 7 months. In that time, I’ve had to reboot SYNC 4 times. Your case seems excessive. Also, I’ve never had the screen stay blank.

Yep. Once in Marlin since February when an impatient start up resulted in a mashup of backup and other images.

Multiple times since purchase in March due to "snow" (there are other posts for this symptom, just look for videos showing a scrambled screen). It seems to happen less now since the OTAs were pushed, but still happens from time to time. I just wrote it off to using Microsoft's OS (failure of the OS to clean up its memory contents/cache leads to a crash of the video subsystem after x number of days/weeks).

99PI is a *great* podcast. That episode is actually from the "Reply All" podcast, but 99PI did run it as a guest episode.

yeah, and they credit Reply All, but every time I try to listen to Reply All they say something stupid very quickly and I unsubscribe again. So for me it's a 99PI episode that happens to be presented by lesser podcast hosts. ?

I've had my MME Premium for about 2 weeks. I've had to do the VOL down and button to reset about 5 times already. Is this normal for the rest of you? I'm wondering if I need to take to dealership, or if that's just part of the normal deal.

something definitely wrong. Have had mine for going on 5 months now, haven't had to reboot at all.

Eight months in--NO reboots ever.

Had to do the reboot once since I got my car in July.
