Hi everybody!!
Why im posting:
I think i ****ed up something, taking the blame and have an issue I hope charitable souls will help me with.
Problem now:
Screen is black, no nothing at car start, no rear-view camera for example.
Why i did what i did below:
Suddenly yesterday, the gps started to not show my position (first time did that since ownership in 2016). I heard it might be gps antenna connector corrosion over time and in salty conditions. Before fiddling with the connection...I was advised to ''reset factory settings''.
What I did to get the black screen, now i need help
:
After no success with reseting factory settings, I wanted to reestablish the speed restriction setting to be able to use the screen at all speeds, maybe expecting this would force the GPS to work again.
So I did the button combo Music, Mute, Favorite to access the Test Screen...Then:
1/3 ) Did Del 20 sec., then 11 & Enter...
2/3 ) I pressed by accident the Reset Map maybe thinking it was related to the GPS map...
3/3 ) Then screen seems to lost signal and went...
Now it stays black all the time, what should I do guys and girls?
Things I have tried so far:
Combo of reset buttons Back+Nav+Mute = did nothing
Prey = did nothing
Swear = did nothing
Things I have not tried so far:
Unplugging the battery (would that help for sure?)
Talk with Mazda dealer (since Test Screen)
A BIG THANKS in advance for any advice.
