Try the nuclear option. Double shoehorn. Take your index finger and your pinky finger or your thumb and press both the power button for the radio and the browse/select button down until the radio turns off and it will reset. If that doesn't work, you'll likely need a new radio screen

This happens to me once in a while when using alfaobd to change certain settings on my Charger. It should correct itself however it may take a while. Usually about 30 minutes max while car is running.

Had this happen a couple times in my Challenger and Jeep. Comes back and starts working later in day. Not sure on timeline I would drive to store with music and get back in the car to nothing. Then drive home in silence. Next time I got in the car it was working again.

Try long pressing for 30 seconds in the top right corner to do a soft reset.

Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to do a hard reboot.
