    Help!, as above; after reconnecting the 12V battery, the half of the main display (multidisplay, not navi radio) did not light up, the one with the car and used engines, fuel consumption, etc. What went wrong? Software crash or physical damage to some electronics or the display itself? If the display itself was damaged, have any of you already gotten to it, and is it possible from its front, without disassembling the all dashboard..

    Have you tried disconnecting the 12 volt again waiting a few minutes and reconnecting just to see if the display comes back UK and US cars should be similar You're not going to do much of any of this without the dashboard coming up and that's a fun job I actually can do it pretty quickly now but I've never seen half the display go out on the Gen 3 not saying that it can't any of them can and it would seem to me that it would probably be the display one would think taking power away and returning it should reboot have there been any problems with the display since you've had the car.?

    Luckily big relief: no damage but hanging, the display came to life in the morning after reconnecting additionally charged battery. Thank you all.
