Infotainment on other Taos years
No other Taos model year has enough reports of infotainment for a sheet of its own. See every Taos year.
What this problem usually is
Screen complaints read like a list of small betrayals. The display goes black or freezes, the backup camera shows nothing when you shift into reverse, CarPlay or Android Auto keeps dropping, or the radio changes volume on its own. Many owners had a software update that didn't fix it. A narrower sheet covers backup camera failures on their own, and another covers screens that freeze.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the head unit or screen (15 reports), the camera (12 reports) and the software (7 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the electrical system covers the 2022 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The manufacturing process of the eMMC memory module in the infotainment system may cause the rearview camera image not to display.

When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 2 service bulletins or notices for the 2022 Volkswagen Taos that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

“MIB infotainment system blanks out, simultaneously sending error code to driver center console rendering it useless. Key functions are therefore inoperable or inaccessible, including (but not limited to) TPMS monitoring / alert warning, rear view camera display, and potentially a host of other safety and advanced driver assist functions.”

“Modular Infotainment Platform (Radio, Navigation, etc.) called MIB goes blank when driving sometimes. This can be dangerous if it occurs when traffic is heavy and driver is dependent on the navigation system. Also simultaneously the driver center console display only shows the following error message: âError Dynamic Road Sign Displayâ.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 25 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
