The screen in my 05 coupe did not come on this morning and remained dark. The radio was working and the controls were working as well. Can anyone offer any advice on how to fix or reset? Does this mean the unit needs to be replaced? The car just went out of warranty....isn't this always the way it works! Thanks for the advice and help!

With the accessorys turned on try pressing the button just above the seek button on the left. It's the one with the musical note on it.

I accidentally turned off my screen and this button will turn it back on

This used to happen on my 07 if I let it sit for extended periods of time. I'd start it up and no screen. Everything worked but couldn't see anything. After driving for a bit, I 'd shut it off and restart it and it worked fine. I thought maybe if voltage was below a certain point it might not illuminate. After driving it a bit the battery would get charged fully and then it worked. Just a guess on my part but it always came back on after doing this. Good luck

That's happened to me twice. I just shut it off and restarted, then everything was OK.
