If I drive for 20 /30 minutes and stop the car ( 2012 be series 2 ) when I restart the car the air con, entertainment unit and reversing camera won’t come on. Very annoying when going on a long trip. If I don’t turn the car off all is fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

In a word, it’s buggered

I’m taking it the whole screen is blank bar the hazard light switch?

If so, it’ll be a faulty radio module - requires the iq unit to be reconditioned
I did mine a couple of months ago - took it out and took it to a place called asl automedia in Lyndhurst, Vic - cost me $450 to get the unit reconditioned - haven’t had an issue since

in the series one common fault with the screen etc, remove fascia, clean terminals on unit and fascia and refit, fixed most issues, not sure on series 2 though, could try similar if the front fascia pulls off

When it doesn't come on after starting the car, try pressing on the facia.
