Default Climate Control Display Flashing?????

I got in my car this a.m. ('06 C6 Coupe) and the Climate Contol display is flashing.

The climate control seems to be operating ok, in both automatic and manual modes - but the display keeps flashing.

Has anyone seen this, or know what it means?

Thanks. . . .Stu

I haven't seen it but you could disconnect the battery and see if that stops it. You will need to re-index the windows when you reconnect it.

It indicates that it requires service. I would try the battery disconnect (above) first to see if the HVAC control will reset.

Except for re-indexing the windows, is there anything else that dis-connecting the battery affects? (security system, keyfob settings, etc)

From what I have read on the forum the windows are the only thing. Let us know what happens.

Just the Windows.

The flashing may be a result of not applying Zaino

Well, if I do nothing eventually it goes back to normal.

The only thing I realized is it seems to only happen when/after I've had Keyfob #2 in the car. Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe not.

Do you have any ideas/thoughts on what causes this?

HVAC control head. That is the component in the dash that contains the controls and numbers.

The climate control seems to be operating ok, in both automatic and manual modes - but the display keeps flashing.

Same as mine, 3200 miles and it went nuts. It's the head unit. definately a Dealer service, but it was quick and painless.
