”no signal" during the start up error

[1nickatnite1]

I started the car like normal and the center screen was black except for a "no signal" message in the middle for about a couple of minutes before it went to normal. During that time, the reverse camera, radio and none of the display buttons were responsive. Anyone seen this before?

Here's a picture of the error too.

Could be an over the air update. The only time I remember that happening was back in 2015 when connected drive was http and was being hotfixed to https.

Here's the error I saw:

I'm not clear which images work and which don't work on this forum, but this one didn't work for me. Maybe you can attach it.

I thought the SE didn't get any OTAs besides maybe maps? I drove it today though and that error isn't coming up but the mini welcome screen is skipped and the car goes directly to the radio. I honestly prefer this as I'm impatient lol but hoping its not a sign the unit is going bad somehow. Might need to make a service appointment and have them check it.

That's the same NO SIGNAL I had back in 2015 with my old BMW.

I remember back in the day when the "Windows CE" Gen1 iDrive failed on my E90 and I had to get a new headunit. The screen was completely black.

Maybe loose wiring or something? I'm thinking a service visit is the best option.

I had the exact same "no signal" message about a year ago. It went away quickly and never came back, so I wouldn't worry unless it happens again.

Check a ground on 12 Volt battery

What a coincidence that this happened again this morning, after getting in the car and before turning it on. The system came on about 2 minutes later, but what's weird is that the navigation showed that the car was off the road, and didn't correct itself for about another 5 minutes. But after that everything was fine. Still won't worry about it unless it happens frequently and it becomes annoying.
