2018 Honda Civic — infotainment became glitchy after an OTA update

LongMilesDaily160Community StarterAug 11, 20262018 Honda Civic SiSacramento
2018 Honda Civic Si, about 93,000 miles. After a software update the screen occasionally reboots and one saved setting keeps resetting. Is there a normal post-update reset procedure owners should try before booking service? I am in Sacramento. If I figure it out I will update the thread.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2018 Honda Civic, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Stop there until you know. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2018 Honda Civic before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Same neighborhood, different next step: A second data point from another 2018 Honda Civic owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2018 Honda Civic in Sacramento, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “infotainment became glitchy after an ota update,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
