Hello,

started the C3 (2020) in the morning and the touch screen was black as if swichted off.
Then I heard audio over the speakers - from the connected iPhone - so I realized the ICE wasn't off.

I stopped the car twice and switched it off and on again to no avail (it's a car - we shouldn't need to try this :cry: ). After an hour's drive I stopped for a break, say 5 minutes and after that everything was back to normal :?

Any similar experience? Is there a way to reset the ICE when the music button isn't available (I tried long pressing the volume button but it didn't do anything apart from un/mute)?

Hi


It sounds like 5 minutes was enough time for the power to be off to reset?

I don't know more than that other than 'Blank media screen on Citroen C3' has come up before with no (cheap) solution. Citroen would change the whole unit and charge you for the privilege.

Let's hope it was just a small 'glitch'.
Today it started in French :? bon, pas d'problème - I found the language settings anyway 8-)
