Has anyone living in a colder climate noticed on very cold days when you first start the vehicle the navi screen is dim until the vehicle warms up. After a few minutes then the display is fine, but when cold it is quite dull. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem or if it is a problem with the navi screen in my 05 tl with 5000 miles (8000 km) on it.

 

my navi does the same thing.. nothing wrong with it.. thats just how it works.. cell phone does the same thing if i put it somewhere cold

 

Yea, I have noticed this on mine as well.... prob because it's liquid crystal and needs to be at a certain temp to be at optimal clarity.

 

On January 27 I started my car and the MID readout was as displayed below. (The picture was taken after I had driven a short distance, hence the engine temperature being warmed up.) The Navi screen was basically invisible for about 15 minutes until the inside of the car had warmed up a bit.

 

I have an aftermarket LCD for the carputer, and it is the same way, takes a few minutes to warm up and get the full brightness.

 

Thanks for the info. Much appreciate it.

 

the old girl needs to warm up.......very normal.

 

does anyone have the problem where the touch sensitivity dosn't work for awhile until it warms up inside the car?

 

No. Even when it is really cold and the screen is dull, I can easily tap the OK button and it works.

 

No, but I use the joystick so as not to get fingerprint smudges on the screen, so I wouldn't know anyway.

 

-8F... now thats colder than a witches titty.... The LCD crystals freeze and are slow to respond when cold.. When the car is warmed up a little it should go back to normal. i try not to touch the screen 2 much... for the "OK" screen i always push in the silver curser button.

 

No doubt.......I would move south.......real fast

 

I was on vacation when I took that picture.
