disconnect and reconnect the MPM module (About the size of a packet of cigaretts) in the boot floor, also inspect it for water ingress.

Not a problem, in rainy Scotland there a really common issue due to water ingress, Took me a while to figure out what was killing my i-drive intermittently.

I relocated these modules from under the spare tire to the left rear area under the tail light.
