Normal to get condensation on the inside of the radio display?

Getting condensation on the inside of the radio display. Usually happens when it's humid and have the ac running, then decide to put down the window. I know condensation itself is normal but just worried about it being on the inside....

Yeah I'm thinking there's some type of gasket or sealant that failed...

Never had that, but I did get my radio head unit replaced due to black lines showing up where it should have been blue.

I had condensation in my radio also, but after awhile it disappeared on its own

I wouldn't worry about it.

Lowering your window lets in hot humid air which is then condensing on the ice cold parts in the radio.

Yeah but shouldn't it condense on the outside? Inside doesn't sound right...

Looks to me like there is a leak in the air duct blowing cold air onto the radio chassis.
Have the dealer/mechanic check it out. Condensation on the back side of the plastic window can't be good for the LCD or whaterver tech the display is.
