I have an 03 996. The A/C Control LCD is starting to bleed out on the screen. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions to repair or replace. Thanks.

 

I have the same issue... 03 as well

 

Mine bled and was replaced under warranty. Nothing you can really do if an LCD goes bad but replace it. You see the units on Ebay on a regular basis at way below dealer cost. I think I remember seeing a post on replacing the LCD instead of the whole control on one of the Pcar sites, either here, Renntech or 6 spped online. You might try some searches. Replacing the unit itself is a simple 15 minute job.

 

Jurichar's instructions on how to replace just the LCD display are somewhere, but I know for sure they are Renntech.

An old item but -I need to replace my broken/bleeding LCD A/C-panel on my 986-Boxster from 2004.

My question: Is the Audi-display compatible with Porsche? Does it look the same?

Link is not working. There was a company on ebay that had the led, but it was listed for Audi. It worked but was a bit too large. The company then came out with a small unit for 986/996. Someone on renntech used it and it worked fine.

I think this is the website for the company that was/is selling them.

Tool Pants,

It is great to see you back here on the 996 Forum! It has been quite a while!

 

Update for posterity:
If you want the original factory look. I'd highly recommend this...

The guy at 914Rubber.com makes replicas of the original LCD displays. They are perfect, I have one in my car. (which is why I have a spare Audi display)
