Mazda 6 screen reboots continuously until engine reaches operating temperature on Mazda 6

Problem overview

Some Mazda 6 owners report experiencing continuous rebooting issues with the infotainment system, particularly until the engine reaches operating temperature. This problem can result in the screen freezing or being stuck in a loop of reboots while driving, rendering many infotainment features inaccessible, although the radio may still play the last tuned station. To address this, some dealerships have been performing a mandated 5-hour workjob to check the infotainment software for problems related to crashes and reboots. In certain cases, updating the MCU system software has been recommended as a solution, and one driver found that switching out the SD card in the infotainment system helped alleviate the issue. Owners experiencing these problems are advised to contact their local Mazda dealership for assistance in diagnosing and resolving the continuous rebooting problem.
