Default IS350 Blank Screen

Last night while I was driving home, my nav / audio / climate control screen froze. The audio stopped, the AC remained on, and the screen went blank. None of the physical buttons on the unit did anything when pressed either. The car drove fine other than that. When I got home, I shut the car down, and restarted it and everything was fine and back to normal. Has this happened to any of you ? Is this something i should be concerned about?

You should check your alternator. Also check on map to see if it is working normal

Eh, **** happens sometimes. I once just pulled out of my garage and every single dashboard light came immediately at once...just turned it off and back on, no problems since and that was like a year ago. If it occurs a little more frequently I'd be worried.

You can reboot the system while driving by pressing and holding the Volume/On/Off button in for
a couple of seconds. Same effect as turning off the car and restarting it but available while driving.
