Mine stays in a garage and comes out to a colder temp and I do not have this issue. IMO you have a defective radio display.

I have had this happen a couple of time on humid days when I first get in and crank the AC. My vents dont point down towards the head unit however. So has anyone gotten a dealer to replace the head unit because of this?

Happened to me for the first time and I noticed the AC vent was pointed down. I moved it up and the problem went away.

It rained yesterday and I pulled the car into the garage. This morning I come out and my radio had condensation under the head unit plastic..... I took pictures of the radio and will post when I get home.

A.J. · 07-24-2010, 03:57 PM

Only once that I've noticed. It was on a pretty warm and humid day so I had the AC cranked up. Maybe a leak in the center dash vent ducting causing condensation on the radio face plate?

*Mr. Wyndham* · 07-24-2010, 04:46 PM

That's moisture in behind the display. Take it to the dealer as soon as you see it happening...don't use the ventilation at all while you drive there, either.

MartiMcFly · 07-26-2010, 02:07 PM

I love how scratched up the head unit is and I have never cleaned the interior! I only have 1,800 miles on the car.

I will check it during my lunch break at work but this concerns me... This happened to my cell phone and i had it replaced because they told me its a bad seal causing the moisture to leak in.

anyone else have this problem?

yes but it seems to go away after awhile. I live in Houston so there is alot of humidity.

Dont think it is the stereo but rather the seals around it we need to start a poll on this to bring it to GM's attition and maybe get a solution

If they already have a dealer notice out for it, which they do -- they know about it and have developed both a repair and a factory alteration to prevent it on future cars.
