sorry about wrong words

So when you open the door, the screen stays completely black ? And it was fine before the update ? What was the last thing you saw on that screen, before, during or after the (attempted?) update? Did the update even start ?

System has crashed, but you should be able to recover.

  1. Disconnect the battery negative lead from the vehicle.
  2. Leave it off for 20 minutes.
  3. Reconnect the negative lead and WAIT for 5 minutes.
  4. Open car and turn on ignition, system should boot back up.

Yes, follow my instructions above.

After Unofix's advice go onto Cyanlabs and use their software to install the latest version and see if it comes back

Did you download the file yourself, after being given the link on presentation of your VIN ? Or did you get "a" file from somewhere / some friend? Was it the system update (Sync x.xx ?) or the map update ?
