Not sure if this is a sign of an impending issue - IC is not always on anymore when I get in the car

[SilverGS]

I have a 2016 75D with about 51K km (32K miles) and lately I've noticed that the Instrument Cluster display is not always on when I get in the car. Sometimes I have to wait for it to boot up.

I've done the "hold down the scroll wheels for 2 mins", but can't get it to reboot (just the main 17 inch display gets rebooted) after it has come up in an attempt to "fix" whatever glitch this may be.

Any ideas on what may be starting to happen? Is this symptom part of the inevitable EMMC failure coming up?

This can happen when you drive the car less, as might be happening with Covid.

If it is a concern, try setting always connected ON, energy savings OFF.

Interesting and good to know. Thanks.

It's not enough of a concern right now to change the setting to be always connected ON and and energy savings OFF. I'll leave those as is for now.

I think I'm spoiled and just used to getting in and moving. Now I have to wait for it to boot up.

Pressing the brake pedal can speed things up..

I've tried that, it still needs time to boot up as its completely turned off and I can't change into Reverse till its up.

I have the same problem 2014 IC slow to boot. MCU was replaced 2 years ago. I noticed this after an update just cant remember which one to where it goes into like a deep sleep mode overnight to where you have to press the brake pedal to wake it up. Then the message comes on powering up.

You can't disable sleep at night anymore. They removed that option.

How about waking the car up with the app before you go out to the garage? Will that help here?

BTW my car does it too and I just live with it. I can always find something to do in the few seconds it's coming to life.

I had a glue-filled IC that was requiring MCU reboots to come up; had it replaced earlier this year. I still, depending on the day, have the IC come up slowly, but we're talking 10 seconds or so after the main display.

Good suggestion, I will try this. I don't like waiting for it too boot up.

the scroll wheels reboot the MCU main screen/computer, the upper wheel buttons reboot the IC screen/computer.

Thanks! You learn something new everyday! I had completely forgotten about that. Will do that later tonight and see if it makes a difference.

and then a software update changes things...

Newer car changes things too...now scroll wheels boot both MCU and IC for 2020 models

That is because with 2020 cars having MCU2 where the IC is just a second screen, whereas in MCU1 cars the IC is a stand-alone computer.
