I was just wondering if this is a common problem. My car is an 06 SS/NA. Anyway for about the last week or two my stock radio's display has been acting weird. Sometimes everything on the screen lights up at the same time but that usually doesn't stay like that for long, maybe just like 5-10 minutes at the most. And other times the screen just goes completely blank and it will stay like that for a long time, it doesn't matter if I turn the car on and off multiple times it will stay blank. The last time it went blank it stayed like that for about a day. I really wanna take it to the shop since it is still under warranty but it seems to come and go and I would prefer it if they could see the problem, unless it is a known issue and they will just fix it even if it isn't reproducing it when I take it in.

Thanks for any possible help!

 

just have them swap radios

I haven't seen any do that at work. My buddy's RX-8 climate control display does this though.

 

check ur fuses before anything, might just be a fuse half broken still touching but not all the time.

 

Is there actually a fuse just for the display? The radio still works, i can hear the music just fine but there is no read out on the display or everything on the display is lit up all at once.

 

Hey man I have a 2007 SS 2.4 (about 24k) and it does the exact same thing! I found that when it does that and i push on the volume knob *slightly*, it comes back on! It pisses me off because it never acts up when i take it up to the dealerhsip tell/show them, so they just look at me like im a dumb a** But I plan on going back soon, because the next time it does it I'm just gonna head str8 there so they can see it.

 

Bad radio.

Dealer covered the exact situation for my girlfriend with 50k miles on hers free of charge.

 

Mine does the exact same thing.

 

Mine did it too and I was like WTF I broke it lol. Next day it was back to normal
