Thanks alot for posting this question mate,as this keeps happening to mine that I purchased 4weeks ago and has started to do this last week and now my emmissions light has come on....  

I'm going to get a battery asap. Just waiting on my mate with a halfrauds trade card to come back home. Hopefully it will also sort the problem of starting up and then killing itself and then not starting that I had in the winter and again a few weeks ago.  

mines does it too  

Just to say also mine did this and it was my battery, changed it and the problem vanished!

TheKid said: I'm going to bump this because I have the same problem. I'm yet to change the battery, but if I do, and that doesn't fix it, what next? Alternator? Fuses? I've only noticed it recently, but I do a lot of miles and what with the winter truly upon us, it might just be battery change time. Mine is the original Renault one too Any advice would be very much appreciated Click to expand...

Quick Fixes for Your Car's Infotainment System

Got a blank or frozen screen or a phone that won't connect to your car? These (sometimes secret) solutions could help reboot or reset your system.

If you’ve ever had a navigation screen freeze or go blank in the middle of a road trip, or you couldn’t get your phone to connect or music to play, you know how frustrating it can be when an infotainment system suddenly stops working. You’re not alone: Infotainment problems are some of the most common reliability complaints in our exclusive reliability surveys . 

Sometimes fixing the problem can be as simple as unplugging your phone from the USB port and plugging it back in, or turning the car on and off again. But occasionally, the fix requires resetting or rebooting your car’s infotainment system. Kind of like hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete or selecting “Force Quit” on a computer, a reboot or reset can stop your car’s infotainment system from acting up or even return it to factory default settings. You can do it yourself—and we’ll show you how.

We asked automakers to share the instructions they give their own dealerships and service technicians for resetting frozen infotainment systems. Then the experts at Consumer Reports’ Auto Test Center put their fixes to the test on our own fleet of test vehicles. Below, you’ll find detailed instructions for resetting recent infotainment systems in most vehicles from major brands.

If the fixes below don’t work or if your car isn’t on the list, you’ve got other options, says Michael Crossen, Consumer Reports’ mechanic and longtime master technician.

Honda Honda

If the problem is with your phone connection, start by turning your phone on and off, and check to see if your phone—or your car—needs a software update. “I have seen a phone stop working after the phone performed a software update,” Crossen says. “In these cases, you have to wait for a car software update to be available in order to fix it.” Some cars will prompt owners to download new software over a cellular or WiFi connection, while others will require a trip to the dealership.

You can also check YouTube for infotainment tutorial videos. Chances are, someone else had the same problem and they may have put the solution online. If all else fails, make an appointment at the dealership. “Make sure you can accurately describe the issue, and take video or a picture when the system is failing, especially if the problem is intermittent,” Crossen says. 

Here’s how to get started:

MMI (2015-2017 model years)

Press and hold the menu key, the rotary knob, and the button that sits at the upper right of the rotary knob.

Switch trip to odometer in virtual cockpit

• Add to quote

I can't figure out how to display the odometer instead of the trip computer in the virtual cockpit. Does anyone know if it can be done and if so, how do you do it?  

I also have the virtual cockpit which I think is worth every penny extra. My previous Kodiaq had the maxidot display which from memory works (or not depending on viewpoint) the same as the virtual cockpit. The only way I have found to display the overall mileage is to turn off the cruise control / speed limiter. The trip distance is displayed as before, bottom left, whilst the overall mileage is shown bottom right (where the cruise/limiter set speed was previously displayed). I have not found a way of replacing the trip information with overall mileage and I don't think you can if that if your intention.  

Thanks, I have the same issue, I’ll give it a go.
