When I turn on my car my radio turns on but it only shows the circle with the dots and Nissan underneath. It then freezes and after about a minute or so it restarts and freezes again. It doesn't freeze in the same spot Everytime but pretty close. The weirdest part is that after about an hour or more of this loop it does eventually start working again. I've replaced fuses but nothing changed. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Try removing all the power from the head unit. After disconnecting power, press and hold the ON button for 10 seconds to drain any residual power, then re-apply the power and see if it starts normally.

There is always a chance that you’re dealing with an internal fault in the head unit, in which case the only way to fix the problem is replacing your head unit. I know this sounds harsh, but your vehicle is eight years old so the head unit has probably succumbed to old age.
