Why does the central control screen of the new Audi A6 keep flashing?

If the central control screen of the new Audi A6 keeps flashing, it may be due to touch screen failure or wiring issues. Screen malfunction: For screen malfunction, you can use a paperclip or a toothpick to press the RST hole (reset button) of the DVD to restore the device to its initial state. Wiring issues: Remove the positive terminal of the car battery, usually waiting for 30 seconds before reconnecting it. Head unit failure: If the above two methods do not solve the problem, it is recommended to directly replace the car screen. When replacing the DVD, first remove the touch screen of the DVD navigation to check the model before purchasing.
Encountering screen flickering issues with the new Audi A6's central control display, having repaired many cars myself, I believe the most common causes are software bugs or hardware malfunctions. Audi's system updates sometimes become incompatible with older programs, leading to screen lag and flickering. It could also be due to aging or loosening internal wiring of the touchscreen, especially after long-distance driving in new cars where bumps affect connections. First, try a soft reset: turn off the engine, lock the car, wait ten minutes, and then restart, or go into the system settings to reset the media unit. If that doesn't work, check external devices, such as unplugging USB chargers, as interference can cause screen abnormalities. If the flickering is frequent, avoid disassembling it yourself; instead, visit a 4S shop to check for fault codes with a diagnostic tool to prevent making things worse. During regular maintenance, mentioning the central control system can help prevent these minor annoyances.
My Audi A6 also experienced screen flickering once when the navigation system got stuck while loading a large file and kept flickering. Restarting the vehicle fixed it. Screen flickering is often caused by software lag or incorrect settings, as newer car systems are complex and prone to overload. Try disconnecting all external devices, such as unplugging phone cables, and check if there are conflicts with air conditioning or sound settings. A simple engine restart often solves the problem, and Audi's hotline is quite convenient for consultation. During daily use, avoid opening too many apps simultaneously, like running navigation, music, and adjusting the AC at the same time—overloading the system can cause flickering. Remember, safety first: screen flickering while driving can obstruct your view, so address it promptly to avoid distraction. Regularly clear the cache during maintenance to keep the system running smoothly.
