Interceptor crapping out

So I get into my car today, turn it on and when I look over at my interceptor I see this....


This was taken after I got home from work, figured it might clear up on the drive home but it didn't so WTF???? Is this a common issue with these gauges and do they offer a warranty? I bought it from OTTP a few months ago but still, it just sits there, not like it get abused.

Just did some research and this seems to be a pretty common issue with these things, they have a whole forum thats full of problems. I emailed the service dept to see what they can do for me.

How hot was it? Generally if the inside of my car is hot all three of my interceptor screens get flushed out for a while.

It has done that before in really hot weather but today was maybe 80ish. Usually it clears up within about 10 mi utes or so and it stayed this way the whole drive home. For the price I would think that wouldn't happen.

Got a reply email from Pat at Aeroforce this morning, told me to send it in and they will take care of it. I filled out the warranty form and I asked them to send a black LCD with white letters/numbers. The blue was way too bright at night. I also might look into getting a different gauge pod so it isn't sitting in direct sunlight all the time.
