This is actually not an amusing problem at all; it’s a dangerous and distracting failure of the Mazda Infotainment System for which Mazda refuses to take responsibility.
Having the screen flash suddenly over and over as it cycles through an endless reboot, especially at night, is an accident waiting to happen. Not to mention the backup camera suddenly going black while in reverse—pity the pedestrian behind the car when that happens!
The entire unit must be replaced at a cost of $1200-1500. If ever there was an instance for a car maker to issue a recall, this is it.
