Default MMI Problems

I have noticed my MMI malfunctions anytime i am near a Train/Metro station here in LA. It makes the system freak out music starts to skip then the whole screen shuts down closing any apps open. Anyone else dealt with this or anything similar?

That is really strange and I haven’t had anything like that. I have situations where the MMI didn’t load the key user but even that is rare. Have you done a forced restart of the MMI as a first step?

Does your mobile phone work in the area you are describing?

It pretty much restarts itself, but once I get about 50-100 yards away from the locations.

Phone works the entire time, Apple car play usually crashes with the MMI. I noticed it at 1 particular location but after yesterday it happened downtown passing a similar Metro station I have never passed.

Open the sunroof and look for the overhead drone.

are you wired or wireless for carplay? might be worth seeing if it does it wired, could be some 2.4GHz interferance like a big microwave or a large amount of metal/wires (like would be at a metro station)

YES. I've experienced this exact thing always in the same location. It happened recently and now my MMI is in a persistent Reboot loop and unusable. Did you ever figure this out?
