Head unit keeps rebooting constantly every minute or so

[Pitkat]

This just started the last two days the head unit is booting up and rebooting every minute constantly to the point I can't use it at all. I didn't make any changes. Dealer visit? I need the car can't have it sitting at the dealers for days.

I spoke to an other owner last week who had a similar problem., they took car into dealer and they apparently disconnected the 12v Battery for a bit then reconnected it.

Maybe it’s a 12v Battery issue?

That sounds like a hard reset ... 

You might be able to get the same effect by pressing and holding the power button until the unit shuts down and switching on again? Maybe?

Do you know how to do this?

OK disconnected the Negative Terminal of the 12v Battery and reconnected. Did not work. Disconnecting for 15 min and will retry.

Worked like a charm.. Head unit working again, now if only I can get Apple Carplay to connect reliably.
