    Notes:

    - To power off the car you must hold the power button for at least 10 seconds before it shuts off.
    - When you turn on the car, the only thing you see is the check engine light, then it disappears when the car is in ready mode.
    - Turning off/on the car does not remedy the problem, it has happened once in a blue moon.
    - If i get lucky and power up my car tomorrow the problem may go away.

    I think some other taxi driver reported this problem in another thread.

    Here's the relevant tsb that I think is your issue:

    oh: as for your video problem, its probably a special codec that the iphone uses that youtube's flash converter program doesn't completely know how to understand. I'd suggest recompressing it to a different format that youtube is more compatible with.
