Weird thing with radio screen

Temp was cold down here in sunny Florida this morning, when I ran the radio, the screen had weird streaks of light color on it, kinda like faint bar code lines. Is the darn thing gonna break, was it due to the cold....... anyone else ever seen this on their car? This afternoon it was fine. WEIRD....... any thoughts???

I believe so.

Check in the 'Issues' section. Some people have posted about how they believe that 'low' temperature affects the Radio function.

This happens on my Pontiac G8 GT except red and black colors run through the screen I have to turn the car off and restart it and it returns to normal. I notice it does not happen if I turn the power to the radio off before turning the car off.

Not being a smart ass, as I (and others) seem to be having the same issues.

The dealer will more than likely have no answer, mine hasn't even heard of it. Anyhow they will swap out the head unit, but make sure they get a code/model of your existing one, and order a new one in, this way your car will not be sitting at the dealer for a few days until they get the new one in. That is what I am doing.

I just hope that changing the unit repairs the problem.
