So I went to get in the car today after just shutting it off at the car wash. I was going to move it further into the stall but when I turned the key on the LCD looked like this:
I shut the car down and was going to unhook the battery and reset the car but then when I went to turn it back on a few minutes later it was "fixed." Strange stuff indeed. Anyone else have this issue with their 2013 LCDs?
Wow did it ever start working correctly ? That's sure strange. And I thought all the strange things happen to me :nono: I know everyone will say don't worry you've got a warranty but its still a bummer when things worry us about our baby's :bigthumbsup
Being in the electronic assembly business when I first saw the 2013 I knew that display would be a problem. Even though I'm sure the failure is much in the minority I'm glad I got a 2012!
yeah it went back to normal after a few minutes without the key in.
Anyway it wasn't an automatic car wash! I have too much love for my baby to do something like that. I might drive her like I mean it, but when it comes to keeping her nice looking I don't mess around -- keep a cleaning kit in the trunk so I can go wash it whenever I feel like (at a manual car wash!)
I think the track app screen has many bugs that need to be worked out.
I have 2 issues with mine.
1) when I put the gear in reverse and when the back up camera on/off screen comes on, sometimes the screen would stay there after I take the gear out of reverse and I would have to manually change the screen.

Oddly enough, this happened once, when my car was finished with a wash. I drove it home and shut her off; everything was fine the following start-up. :cheers
Also has happened to me once with the 4.3" LCD about 3 months ago. I tried the time tested Microsoft fix of restarting a couple of times but that didn't fix it. It must have reset itself overnight cause it was back to normal the next day. Hasn't happened again....yet.
The scary thing about all these little computer glitches is what happens when a major computer system like the accelerator gets one of these malfunctions???

When I start to regret not splurging on a car with more features, stuff like this makes me happy I choose the car I did. I wanted as few options as I possibly could get. Luckily is sounds like your problem resolved itself. And I'm sure if something happened a little worse it could be fixed or replaced.
But when I bought my car, I was thinking, "What about 20 to 30 years from now? Do I want to be dealing with trying to track down some piece of out-of-date tech to make my car whole again?"
So I went WAY out of date and got no tech! :grin:
