Cracking sound & blank screens
A funny thing happened today. I started the car and both screens were blank and there was a cracking sound inside the cabin (like when you touch a jumper cable to a battery). The sound happed about every 30 seconds . Everything else worked and the car drove fine. I was able to turn it off and restart it. I used the key to lock and unlock it, and the problem went away.
any thoughts?

Happened to me as well - same exact symptoms. To my ear, the cracking or static came from the speakers as the system tried to reboot intermittently. Dealer pegged the problem as a software update that did not complete. They refreshed the software and all has been well the last 3 months.
