Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to reset the screen of a Mazda 3 that has 'frozen', requiring a 'hard reset'. You need to use the buttons on the central console: the music button, the navigation button, and the volume button. Press all three together for about 10 seconds.

This will restore the system. The tablet will turn off, and when this happens, you can release the buttons and see that the system restarts.

Check if the system now allows you to navigate through the various options. You may notice that the system is still a bit slow.

With an OBDII reader, you can connect to the EOBD port and check for any errors on the ECU and possibly clear them. However, in most cases, the hard reset is sufficient.
