AMIiii not starting

[chesby]

I picked up my new car today (I will post separately about the car). Everything working fine. I took a comfort break on the way home and upon returning to the car noticed the screen had not shut. When I started the car the AMIiii did not start, no navigation, no music, no menu, nothing.

Does anyone know what may have happened and how I might be able to fix it?

Many thanks

A restart should fix it - it always has for me, although I've not had that exact bug yet. To restart AMi III you need to leave the car to completely shutdown which takes about 1-2mins with the ignition off and the key out.

AMi III is really rather buggy unless you have had the latest firmware applied in which case its reasonably stable. There is a new firmware due out in a few weeks which promises to further improve stability and tackle a last couple of niggling bugs that I have identified.

The recent FAQ on AMi III which I have created gives you all the details of the latest firmware so you can check if you have it or not.

I tried turning the car off and leaving it a couple of minutes before restarting. (Yes I'm an old customer of Microsoft). I'm now at home and the car is parked and locked. I'll check in a while to see if it's reset itself.

As suffering from many issues with 17MY AMIiii, the "soft reset" is to switch off the engine, exit the car, lock the car with the remote - have a soothing cup coffee/tea, leave at least 5 minutes, then re-enter, and start the car. My car was built in September and it still has "niggles" as my sales manager refers to them as. Personally, I find then hugely frustrating and annoying; my sat nav still "dies" or "hangs" unexpectedly. Then CarPlay has a series of issues all of it's own, i.e. traffic alert comes in, system shuts down, for no apparent reason or then CarPlay randomly switches off the music, perhaps it doesn't like my choice of music, and it is impossible to access CarPlay - of course when you use CarPlay the Garmin satnav does not wish to work. I wish you luck, personally my car has suffered from these issues, and many other, since delivery.
