Infotainment Screen Failed
Hello.
I have a 2014MY V40 SE Lux Nav, and yesterday the sensus infotainment system appears to have failed. The screen does not turn on, the steering wheel buttons for audio don’t light up and all the functions related to the screen don’t work. This means no nav, radio, parking sensors, heated seats etc Climate control works but with no visual information on the screen. I have checked all the relevant fuses, as well as stripped the trim to check the connections on the head unit and screen and all seems fine, nothing is obviously loose or blackened. I think I may have reached the end of investigations I can do myself but does anybody know anything else to try? Furthermore is there any analysis you can do via VIDA to identify the fault? Finally can anyone recommend a NE based garage experienced with this sort of problem so I don’t have to fund the Mill Volvo Christmas party? Thanks in advance |

So having done a little more research, it seems likely the problem lies in the MOST bus.
Does anyone know the order in which the MOST devices are connected on a V40? |

How many miles have you done (in other words how much has the system been turned on)? If it has a FVSH then I would expect some good will here. Put your foot down at the dealers and say you expect a contribution from Volvo UK and please let us know the diagnosis and conclusion. If you have a FVSH then you absolutely must take the car to a Volvo main dealer. Before you do that, have you checked under the seats to make sure someone hasn't accidentally kicked an exposed wire or something daft?

Thanks for the replies.
Car is at 43000 miles, fvsh so hopefully goodwill will be a possibility. I have bought a MOST bus bypass plug so will try test all the modules in the network so I can make an informed decision at the dealer. I don’t have access to a VIDA platform, but it sounds like that would confirm if that is the problem. It seems like each module is coded to the car so parts have to be bought from and fitted by a main dealer. I wouldn’t be so bothered but my V70 helped ease my wallet of £1600 last Friday! |

If screen is completely blank means Is not related to MOST break. It should load at least logo.
Software update may fix it. If you have no luck sorting it out with volvo let me know. I'm happy to help you fitting second had unit but want broken in exchange for testing purposes. Regards Lukas |

Have you checked connections under the passenger seat to ensure nothing has been loosened or kicked? I am guessing second hand units would still be expensive as the oldest you will find is only from 2012.
