While driving, dashboard, radio, rear and side camera shut off and then, a few seconds to 30 minutes later, go back on. This happens consistently when driving. I've brought it to the Honda dealership 3 times to date (car stayed at dealership for a week each time), and the problem persists.
The potential issue is in the design/programing of the car stereo causing an unexpected switch between audio sources. The vehicle has an option to play the rear audio or front audio source through the car speakers. When the vehicle is playing the rear audio through the speakers and the driver switches the I-mid display to the ¿display info¿ mode, through the steering wheel control or through the audio/phone/navigation buttons, the audios source is automatically changed to the front audio source. This sudden change has the ability to distract the driver in two ways. The unrequested change of mode can cause the driver to scramble to turn off or change the audio and also create a sudden increase in volume. The sudden increase in volume doesn¿t come directly from the vehicle but from the volume differences that exist through the different inputs. For example the dvd audio is quitter than xm radio and the aux inputs can have varying levels of output based on the device hooked up to them. I experienced this issue while I was driving on the highway while my kids were watching a disney movie in the back and it automatically switched to xm radio when I wanted to look at the vehicle information (mpg) to determine if I needed to stop for gas before arriving at my destination.
