Just wondering how everyone does a reboot after an upgrade to the firmware. I have been holding down the two scroll wheels until the 17 inch screen goes dark, is this the best way or do you hold down until both screens go dark.

Rebooting after doing an update

After I had a problem with the suspension height, a Service Advisor told me the best way to do a reboot was to hold the two wheels until the "T" appeared in the 17" screen.
I had been only holding them until the main screen went blank, but it took the longer press to reset my suspension error. I now always use the longer hold when resetting.

Does continuing to press down both scroll wheels after the 17" touchscreen goes black
eventually cause the dashboard screen to reboot (go black) also?
If so, is this a "stronger" or more complete reboot than just rebooting both screens separately?
What is the strongest reboot that is available to us?

I always do a reboot, separately both the instrument panel and MCU (...yes, supposedly redundant...) after a firmware update. Then of course check to see what presets got bashed, and also log back into internet radio.
No. To reboot the dashboard to hold down the buttons above both scroll wheels. If you do both this and reboot the 17" with the scroll wheels, (separately) then both screens are rebooted.
It does reboot as part of the install. I've never needed to reboot again for an update, although I do reboot annoyingly often to force podcast lists to update. Other people have reported that they need to do so for various reasons.
Yup. Of course it reboots after a firmware update, and likely a full/"deep" reboot of all updated/affected systems as well. There's no other way to be running the new firmware. Unless there's some other specific issue, I don't see a need to do an additional reboot after a FW update just because it was updated.

@LetsGoFast I found a trick that might work for you. I use podcasts under favorites in the Tunein app. If that is how you are doing it as well then slimply go to the controls/settings/apps and simply click "logout" and then "login" on the Tunein app. Takes just a couple of seconds and your updated podcast updates are ready for listening!!
