    • Reconnect the battery terminal.
    • Start the vehicle and allow the infotainment system to boot up.
    • Go to the settings menu on the infotainment screen.
    • Select "Factory Reset" (this will erase all settings and personal data).
    • Confirm the reset and wait for the system to reboot.
4. Inspect Wiring Connections
  • Sub-steps:
    • Use a socket set to remove the dashboard panel surrounding the infotainment unit.
    • Locate the wiring harness connected to the back of the infotainment system.
