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.

Did they give you ***** for the radio so that they would match?

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

The climate control is delaminating.
