Radio is going ga-ga... Blame Queen.

[PearlJamMan77]

So I got my 2024 Taos SEL just a couple months back and clearly I like it so much to the point of joining a forum made especially for it. But now, the radio is going ga-ga and this is why I'm a Pearl Jam fan not a Queen fan. Kidding. Also a Queen fan. But, anyway, what I mean is I encountered a recent issue where the "initializing mode" takes so long and does not boot up completely. It's equipped with Sirius XM with 360L and that screen is where the error appears. I searched up the net and some people had the same issues but then I'm not getting the reason behind it even when I did a really hardcore research. Sometimes the radio is on but the screen does not come on with it. It comes on and off with weeks in between. Wondering what I should do and how I should work with the radio. Do I have to have it off when I turn the car off? Or no need and I should talk to the dealership?

Since it's happening in bouts, I think it's likely a software glitch rather than a hardware failure. Try soft resetting the infotainment system or check software for any updates. If the screen keeps failing even after resets, then its definitely time to bring it to the dealership
Let them know it happens intermittently, so they don't just assume it's working fine when they check. Geoduck

Phew, that's a huge relief. I would not be able to take it if it were a hardware failure. That soft reset, can I do that alone? Thank you. I laughed at the geoduck.

you can soft reset it by holding down the power button for a few seconds until the system restarts

It's usually not necessary to turn the radio off manually each time, the system should handle that on its own @PearlJamMan77 , would like to know what was wrong if you can because just last week my wife's car developed something similar to this

Does it happen all the time or is it random? Thinking it could be a glitch or maybe there's an update you missed? Before taking it to the dealer might want to phone them up and explain the problem.
