Bolero blank screen

[matty-m]

Hi all got in my 2011 Octavia vrs this morning bolero radio works but the screen has gone blank is there a reset I can do or does the car have to go back to dealers ??? Many thanks for your comments in advance

[Coops]

Not good, presume you have tried ignition off and back on again?

There is a reset to factory setting but if you cannot see the screen that is pointless!

[matty-m]

Thanks for quick reply yeah tried turning on /off engine and ignition radio plays but screen blank trip to dealers I guess

Mine did that a while ago.

I ended up taking the fuse out for 30 secs which seemed to do the trick, no problems since.

The radio fuse is in the fusebox under the bonnet on the right hand side of the engine bay - exact fuse is detailed in the manual.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I'd remove the fuse with the ignition off and key removed. Remove for a few mins then replace and turn ignition on. Bolero should then go through a full startup, checking for discs in the internal changer etc.

This is a full reset on the unit. I don't know of any other way on the Bolero of doing a proper reset.

It's Fuse 19, in the engine fuse compartment. Will be a 15A fuse.

Best of luck

Pull the fuse is the best way.

I still haven't found a way of performing a cold boot on a Bolero via the HU controls.

I don't think you can, after looking into it. Seems fuse pull is the only way. Unlike the Columbus, there isn't a combined button press you can undertake.

Only reference is to the 'reset' button within settings, which just seems to do clearance of custom settings (bass, treble, fade etc). And even then it's not much use if you can't see the screen

Cheers folks your a great bunch booked car in to main dealers and guess what .............. Screen has now reappeared so will see what happens in morning that's when it went blank last time fingers crossed ?? Failing that I'll try fuse thanks once again

Just had the Bolero on my 12 plate L&K 'hang'. Mute symbol on, couldn't make it go off, wouldn't scan, wouldn't see media.

Pulled fuse F8 (in engine compartment), waited 30 seconds, put it back in. Radio rebooted, everything came back!!! (just got to find all the old stations I had set!)

I think it's a bolero i have in my 2011 octavia VRS, the one with 6 disc changer built in...

For some reason it "drifts" off radio channels, i constantly need to retune to get a good signal and clear interference - really weird.

Any one else had this?

[Rab-k]

Drifting is a problem with mine, but I suspect I've got a rust issue on the antenna mount as reception is poor/difficult most of the time.

 

My screen has become totally unresponsive as of today. Stuck playing the one CD and resorting to scanning radio channels using the right dial - which you push to scan.

 

Will try removing the fuse and see if it can restore itself to normal, otherwise....

I started experiencing most of the problems mentioned with my Bolero over the last 6 months. They would clear after the fuse reset but then creep back again. Ended up replacing with an Android unit and now very happy
