Default Help!!!!!!!!!

I turned on my car this morning, music was coming out of the radio but there was nothing on the nav screen and none of the buttons worked, couldn't adjust volume or switch the station, Has this happened to anyone, if so any ideas?

Can't answer your question but, if you haven't already done it, go over to the Audio/Electronics forum and ask there too, just to increase your exposure. Good luck.

It has happened to me on very cold days if my car had been exposed to the cold weather. I let the car warm up a bit, stopped the car and re-started... everything worked as normal after that.

Interesting.....haven't heard this before. Not challenging you but I wonder if it is really the cold and not just one of the myriad occasional electronic gremlins that comes and goes for no apparent reason. Thanks for mentioning this.

Last month when the temps were below freezing for a few days (car was in NY) and the radio worked but no display. Of course I was freaking. After driving about 10 miles stopped for about 1/2 hour and when I started up again the display worked.

Not a techie, but just assumed since the display is LCD, makes sense in very cold weather the pixels don't want to move.
