Context of a black touch screen (touch-screen) on Peugeot vehicles

You started the engine of your Peugeot, your dashboard works normally and so is the vehicle.
The central touch-screen remains black however and as a result you lose control over the A/C, sound settings and vehicle configuration.
The screen of your Peugeot does not mirror anymore your phone whether it's Android Auto or Car Play.
Here's how to fix it.

  1. Turn off the engine
  2. Wait 5 minutes
  3. Disconnect the positive battery terminal
