Audi A8L display screen black can be restarted by simultaneously pressing the SET-UP button and the button in the upper right corner of the large knob, then pressing the large knob, and the system will reboot. Introduction to the display: The trip computer display is essentially a screen that shows some data from the trip computer. Nowadays, most trip computer displays show data such as average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, outside temperature, average speed, driving time, single trip mileage, etc., which is very practical. Function of the display: The role of the trip computer display is to enhance certain functions that the onboard computer lacks, thereby improving the safety factor of the car. It can continuously monitor whether there are any faults in the vehicle and display fault information very clearly on the trip computer display. It allows for early detection of vehicle faults during the warranty period, enabling timely handling. It is an excellent companion tool.
The black screen and reboot issue with the Audi A8L display is quite common. I've encountered it several times while driving this car. A simple solution is to start the vehicle and then press and hold the volume knob for at least 10-15 seconds until the screen lights up again—this is a common trick among most Audi owners. If it doesn't work the first time, turn off the engine, shut down all power, wait for 5-10 minutes, and then restart the car. Additionally, check if there are any software updates in the system settings, as conflicts can sometimes cause the black screen. If it happens frequently, it might be due to aging hardware or a fuse issue, so it's advisable to get it diagnosed at a dealership just in case. Developing a habit of regularly rebooting the system can also prevent similar issues and avoid delays on the road.
