Missing pixels on radio Display?

Justintime · 23 May 2010 at 16:23

I noticed this recently, my 06 320D SE seems to lose pixels on the radio display when its hot out. Dosen't happen in winter with the heater but definetly the last few days its gone screwy. Seems to be ok when cooler (say below 20 or so) Should i worry about this? Seems this car has every known 3 series problem available

Oh dear, I honestly thought they'd fixed this with the E90! This problem plagued the E39, E38 and E53 X5 with the better radio or the high onboard computer.

Eventually you wont have any pixels left if its the same problem.

Its the 'business radio' whatever that is. The pixels do come back when cooler. Only when the cabin is excessively hot it happens.

Checked last night and this morning, all pixels are back. Guess i'll leave the window down a crack to let some heat out.

My car had this, as soon as it got warm, pixels would dissapear until it eventually just was an orange glow. Turn my car off for a while, and it would look brand new again, until it got warm and we were back at square one

I got a new one under warranty from a 09 1 series, so hopefully it's fixed

Apparently it's a common issue as Fox said
