My radio/ nav comes on for 30 seconds then goes off. Then it continually repeats

Hi, I also have this issue just started, did you ever find an answer?

if its aftermarket verify its plugged in. then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds

What warning is it!!!

FLAT batterY?? Battery OK,now? New one? Old one OK?HUH?
Get security codes FIRST: radio and NAV.
Disconnect battery from car and wait for 30 seconds and turn on the headlight switch,DURING the battery disconnect.
Turn off the headlights and reconnect the battery.
the security system should "re-boot" and be happy.
then there is the radio issue, Get the code.....

This is a costly item. To buy the radio is about 450 dollars and then to have it installed is another ?. That is all the dealer is going to do is put in another one.

I have 2010 Porsche Cayenne and Nav screen just goes black and turns back on - sometimes it does it few times a day sometimes its working fine ..any idea?

The following is the procedure to re-activate the radio if the display shows "SAFE". It is important that the procedure be followed in the correct order.

1. Turn on radio. The radio display shows "SAFE".
2. Press the FM1 and AM buttons simultaneously and hold until "1000" shows on the display. Release the buttons. Do NOT press these buttons again, otherwise the radio will consider "1000" to be the code.
3. Use Preset buttons 1 ... 4 to enter the four-digit code number from your radio card. Preset button 1 corresponds to the first digit, Preset button 2 corresponds to the second digit, etc. Each press of the button increments the number by 1.
4. Once the code shown on the display is correct, press the FM1 and AM buttons simultaneously and hold until the word "SAFE" appears in the display, then release the buttons.
5. The radio should unlock and be usable shortly afterwards.
6. If an incorrect code is entered, the word "SAFE" appears, first flashing and then continuously. You can repeat the above steps to unlock the radio once more, the number of attempts will be shown in the display. If an incorrect code is entered again, you radio will be locked for about one hour. After one hour - the radio must stay on and the key must remain in the ignition lock - if the display goes out, the you can repeat the above procedure to unlock again. The cycle - two attempts, one hour lock-up - still applies.
7. If you lose your radio code, contact your Audi dealer.

I have experienced many electical demons with all my British cars. The nav units can and do fail. I had a goofy one this summer and the only way it got fixed was to replace it. The module not the head unit

No solution, same problem, but had many strange moments: 4 months ago during 100 kms or so it stopped, then suddenly came back, and worked ever since. A few days ago, it started happening again: NAV stuck, then radio dead, and gradually the rest disappeared. I did a Reset, and since that moment I see the intro-screen and then it goes black. Hitting the TEL button is somehow also a Reset...

Do the previous 2 posters have anything to report on this matter? It would be VERY welcome!

Thanks,
Jeff

ther is no nav disc on a mygig.. its a loaded software disc. it contains the grace notes and nav info .. you can update it for free but you will have to burn your own disc with the iso of the nav data.. and to remove it just pull the trim ring off the shifter and then lift the bezel then remove the screws under the panel there are 2 of them then pull off the radio bezel.. the radio is held in with 4 screws.. this radio has no rca outputs on it it uses serial data to modules the rear enntertainment is digital signal sent to a module like rear dvd video and audio
