Default HELP! Radio LCD fogging?

New C6, occasionally the radio display seems to fog-up, or looks like heat is distorting the display. I'd like to know what the cause is before talking to a dealer sevice rep for warranty claim. Cause If I don't know what the problem is, he's certainly not going to be any help!

Heater control display shows the same symptoms by the way...

TIA

when this happens are you wearing sun glasses??
I have a pair of polarized lens sun glasses...
It will cause the displays to appear foggy....
they also will cause some auto windows to appear spotty....

No sun glasses involved. I tend to think it's an electrical issue.

I have the same issue with my 06. It seems to depend on the sun angle. I was able to take a picture with a cell phone and e-mail it to the service rep. Still waiting for reply.

Something to think about?

Glad to help you pad your numbers......
