Wavy Lines in GPS Screen

Wavy Lines in GPS Screen
Anybody else have this issue? They seem to come and go and I can't duplicate it on command. Sometimes when I start the car up, I can see "waves" go across the screen, mostly around the edge, and sometimes randomly while I'm driving. They aren't consistent which is bothering me because I can't duplicate it. The car is still under warranty, and I have a scheduled appointment tomorrow to have them take a look at it. Has anybody else seen this, or have had the dealer take a look?

Well the dealer is replacing the control unit and putting a new nav disc in. Covered under warranty, thank god. Once they have that in, if the problem isn't resolved, they will be taking next steps.
I'm not sure if they've checked the grounds or anything, but I will make a note to have them check it when it goes back in once the parts arrive.

Most likely a ground issue. You are under warranty and (sounds like) you have a good dealership.
For those who are out of warranty, check your ground cable at the battery for any rust/crud. You may also want to consider replacing the ground straps with beefier gauge cable. Search Google for "The Big Three Ground" for more info on upgrading your grounding system.

Had the same problem in both my 2007 and 2008 TL-S. Both time they replaced the screen, didn't fix it. Then replaced the whole cluster, fixed it.
After a few months the lines will come back. I think its shitty electrolytic caps in the radio unit. They shouldn't spend the cash for niobium or tantalum. I'll keep letting them replace it while under warranty. When out, ill replace the parts myself with quality caps.

Any of you guys get any satisfaction/figure out what the deal with the wavy lines are? Mine got wavy lines and would also reboot on its own; the frequency of which increased until I had the nav unit replaced under warranty. It was fine for a few weeks post-replacement; but now the wavy lines are cropping up again (but no random reboots).
My first thought was that there was some improper grounding: to lend credence to this theory, my stereo cuts out (i.e., gets super staticky on FM) when I switch into reverse. This started happening when I installed CREE LEDs into the reverse lights. However, the wavy lines occured before I installed the LEDs.
