PDR not opening
Anybody had this issue ? Pressing on icon, you can hear an audible click and it doesn't open. Two days ago it was fine. Also just lost blue tooth connectivity. Not the phone as it connects in my BMW.

Ouch! Restarted car ( like re booting lap top?)and couldn't link another phone either. PDR was fine a week ago.
I ll post what happens after dealer visit.

I had to have a new SD card reader installed. Also learned that they suggest you not use a mini-SD card that slots into the regular size card. Frank

When you stop to consider how many things are electronically controlled on these cars it's somewhat amazing that they work as dependably as they usually do. Sometimes, just like an iPhone or iPad or laptop, they just need a "cold" reboot to let all the electrons once again find their way through those myriad number of connections and processors.
But, sometimes, even a cold reboot is not enough. When those circumstances arise, all electrical power must be removed from the system for 20 seconds or more in order to be certain the system is given a chance to reorient all of its components and pathways and memories in order to hopefully once again work properly. When I say all power, I mean that you may want to disconnect and then reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Even on a B747 or a newer B787, when a problem on the ground just won't go away or self correct, the best trouble shooting solution is sometimes to shut everything down, turn off the battery switch for anywhere from 20 seconds to 5 minutes and then start everything up again for one more try. If the system in question is powered by the hot battery bus it might be necessary to pull the relevant cb's so the system truly is "cold."
Airplane mechanics in this "electronic era" long ago learned that swapping out or replacing system components or black boxes is often an expensive and time consuming way to accomplish what otherwise might have been done with a simple total cold reboot. Don't even ask about Airbus electronics gremlins...
Anyway, it's always worth considering, especially when the warranty is gone or the car needs to be towed somewhere because of a potential electronic glitch.
