I was stuck as well but thought, what the hell…and plugged my iphone 15 pro in the usb with a type c connector under the power outlet, and bang!

The thing seemed to crash!

it rebooted and asked for the security code which I had no clue what it was. But held the Audio button for 2ish seconds and it had rebooted itself.

good luck!!!

o yeah…it then showed a usb error after I went back in to check.

Came across this thread after accidentally entering update mode from the developer hidden menu. Tried inserting an audio CD, connecting an iphone to USB audio in port, connecting a formatted USB thumb drive, and accessory / engine power cycle multiple times with no success after fiddling with it for 30 - 45 minutes.

Wife was waiting to use the car so I let her take take it while I came in to do more research.. She says both the lower and upper displays were showing the "Program update started" message while driving but eventually went back to normal after a mile or two. Didn't have to enter security code, etc. and no hard power cycles / resets...

I went back into the dev menu and found ~30+ error events in an event log with time stamps that correlated with the ~45 - ~60 min period where it was stuck update mode. It appears the update process eventually timed out on it's own and the radio / nave / infotainment unit is back to normal.

She mentioned she had to re-pair her phone via Bluetooth. I'm calling this a win.
