Why does my car screen go dark?

Restart Your Car's Infotainment System

The reason you're facing the black screen issue may not even be related to Android Auto on your phone. It could be that your car's stereo system or head unit is malfunctioning, so you're unable to use Android Auto. A quick fix for this issue is to restart your car's head unit.

What are the screens in cars called?

An infotainment system typically takes the form of a touchscreen or display that's mounted in (or on) the dashboard in the middle of the car. These have increased in size over the past few years, with some as large (or even larger) than the tablet you have at home.

Why did my navigation screen go black?

Unfortunately, when the navigation screen in a vehicle goes blank, this usually indicates that the screen has failed. I would be great if there were a fuse for the screen alone but unfortunately, there is only one fuse for the entire radio unit.

Why is my car radio not lighting up?

Blown Fuse

The most likely reason for your radio's sudden death is a blown fuse. All car radios have at least one fuse that protects it from power surges coming from somewhere else in the vehicle. The first thing you should do when your radio stops working is check its fuses and replace any that have blown.
