My navi screen sometimes is very faded when cold in the morning and I first start the car...then as I drive and get everything warmed up it seems to brighten up...sometimes it takes 2 minutes and sometimes 20-30...

Is this normal in the colder climates (been 10 degrees here at night)

 

All our cars got navi and usually when cold in the morning it just starts up slow.. Going from warning message to actual navi it takes longer... Didint have any issues with fadding.

 

Yes, that's normal. But I think 20-30 minutes is way too long. Mine just takes a couple of minutes.

 

You know what LCD stands for right?

All LCDs slow down and fade when it's cold...

 

this was happening to me for a few weeks then on Thanksgiving my battery died. and its very hard to find a battery on thanksgiving at 10pm!! lucky me K-mart was open hahah..

 

I noticed earlier this week that the background was actually going red then slowly coming back to white ( for my tsx ) lol. I guess its normal

 

Cold weather causes electrical components to slow down. It's electrical resistance, as the electricity flows over time it will start to heat up and reach it's normal temp. So give it some time to warm up then try it out. I lived in Montana for some years and it would get in the negatives and everything electrical would noticeably slow down. Plus I just got out of electricity in my automotive school so the symptoms seem normal.

 

Liquid Crystal Display ...
LCD.

it's normal.

Also, what "playboy" said above.

 

if it still does it when the season warms up.....its your screen

 

Mine does the same thing.. When it warms up its all good..

 

My navi doesn't even pop up when it gets really cold out.
