Why is there no internet on the car display screen?
3 Answers
Here are the reasons why the car display screen has no internet: 1. No WIFI function: The navigation device does not have WiFi functionality. If it does have this function, it is likely due to an account mismatch. In this case, check if the account is matched. If not, simply match the account. 2. Network connection error: Network connection errors occasionally occur. In such cases, check if the network is available. If not, restart the network. 3. Poor network signal: The vehicle may be driving in an area with poor network signal, causing the display screen to show no internet. 4. No offline maps or navigation information: The navigation system has not downloaded offline maps and offline navigation information.
Last time my car's infotainment screen lost connection, I figured it might be the built-in SIM card causing trouble. This card sits in a small slot under the steering wheel—sometimes if it's loose or has unpaid fees, it'll go on strike; in areas with weak signals like rural outskirts or parking lots, it's also prone to disconnecting. Check if the network switch in the car settings is turned on, and rebooting the system can clear the cache. In rainy weather or tunnels, signals get worse, so just wait patiently. Also, if your subscription service has expired, you'll need to log into the app to renew it, otherwise it's useless. If the software hasn't been updated for too long, bugs might appear—heading to the 4S shop to flash a new firmware usually fixes it. Regular maintenance helps, and avoid installing random third-party apps to prevent background conflicts. Overall, hardware issues are rare; it's mostly software settings or environmental factors, so don't rush to spend money on repairs.
As an experienced driver, I've encountered several instances where the display had no network connection. Usually, it's due to the SIM card not being properly inserted or the data running out, and the small drawer in the car often gets pressed by clutter; areas with poor signal coverage, such as mountainous regions or between tall buildings, can also cause connection issues. I recommend first checking if the network is enabled in the settings, then going into the menu to restart the infotainment system. Sometimes, heavy rain or snow can cause interference, and trying a few more times might help. Don't forget to check if the data plan has expired—some car manufacturers offer free data, which needs to be renewed manually after expiration. Navigation relies on the network, so switching to offline maps can be a temporary solution when disconnected. Long-term failure to update software can accumulate problems, so it's a good idea to have the technician check during maintenance. In short, spending some time troubleshooting yourself can save a trip to the repair shop for nothing.
