Default IS250 Entertainment System Issues

Hey guys, I have a 2014 F sport that I bought second hand 2 years ago. In the past 6 months, I've been having a problem with the entertainment system. Sometimes when I start the car, the entertainment system wouldn't work. The backup cam works though on the screen. However, the radio or GPS wouldn't work. In addition, the USB ports will also not charge. After driving for about 30 mins, the entertainment system will automatically turn on and sometimes it will reset 2-3 times before it turns on for good. This is totally random and there isn't a pattern to this. Has anyone else had this problem?

Could it be a bad fuse?

Thanks!

It's likely the radio head unit.
Unfortunately the 2014 is notorious for radio head unit failures with systems such as:
  • blank(black) screen
  • constant rebooting (boot loop)
Try disconnecting the battery for at least 10 minutes and reconnect and see what happens.
It could resolve itself...worse case it will be the same after.
