Rebooting system - Blue and Me - '97 Bravo

[Stranger2009]

I had a problem where nothing i listened to in media player was displaying on the dashboard screen, i could not access the menus in blue and me via the steering wheel and it was not displaying track info etc...

turns out its a known issue in puntos + bravos .. may be the blue and me entire range - dunno

anyways as i was having my climate control fixed, i got them to look at it and the guy knew instantly what it was and how to fix it .. needed to reboot the system

I asked im to show me how to reboot it in case it happens again but said he couldnt as needed to be hooked up inside.

So i am wondering is there a way to reboot it myself, ie through files on a usb stick or by a secret keypress combination or taking the battery off?
would taking the battery off cause other issues??

thanks for your responses

Just come back from dealer after having to have my meda player rebooted for the 2nd time in 6 weeks.

I spoke to the guy that did it to ask if i can do it myself = Yes, undo BOTH battery leads, leave off for 15-20 seconds then replace.
This is what they have been advised to do.

The only problem is that if like me youre keeping tabs on fuel used & use trip A to make the calculation , it resets trip back to zero so that then blows away you calculation for that tank of fuel.

If it happens again I will reset myself rather than trudge 18 miles each way for them to do it ( save fuel )
