The error light is solid, not flashing. The battery hasn't been disconnected recently, no. Could it really be a software thing? Is a software reset something I can do myself?

A solid error light does suggest a more persistent issue. While some basic resets are possible, given the symptoms and the error memory, it's likely the programming of the control unit is implausible. Doing a reset without the right tools could cause more issues. I would recommend getting it checked by a workshop to have the software properly diagnosed and potentially refreshed.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a workshop, and they confirmed it was a software malfunction. They reprogrammed the control unit, and everything seems to be working fine now. Cost me 240€ appreciate the help!

Sounds like a software glitch. When the error light appears is it a flashing or solid light? The stored error and electrical issues, coupled with the nav system failure, do point to a potential control unit problem. Has the battery been disconnected recently? Sometimes that can trigger weird errors.
