Hey as I was taking pics of my interior today I noticed that the little display for the time and speed had little speckles in it. what gives?

redridge

have you been using your gf sprinkled makeup again?

RPMulli

It is actually pixels in the display..

What's the ambient temperature? Also, had you just cleaned the cluster? If so, what did you use?

RPMulli

Its about 10 degrees. I haven't cleaned it. My car has been in the garage since October...

Fairy dust from the Porsche fairy who watches over the car while it's in hibernation.

They are called LCD pimples and only show up on the display. I've heard they are the first symptom of RMS issues.

Nonsense, I just replaced it last year..

Tom M

I guessing it's related to the low temperature you mentioned. You might try warming things up with a hair dryer (be careful not to get the plastic bits too hot) and see if it goes away.

Oh, yeah. Do all the display show the same symptom or just that one?

does it "FEEL" like this?

The others are like it at well, the one i posted is the worst though. I am hoping its the weather. I cant heat it up since the plastic cover on the cluster is the in the way..

RPMulli

I just wanted to see if it was common. I know in both my Audi's the display is all jacked up.

dont worry about that....it is because the cold weather...mine do the same think.when you warm up everything will be ok

Yep last year the same things but worse were showing up on a couple guys displays. LCD's don't like moisture and cold. It's a very low power display and cold reduces the power flow even more.

Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip south. Of course the south doesn't has much relief and nice things to offer currently. The weather sure is cold for you guys. 75 outside and 78 inside right now. Wish we had a bridge for you guys.

RPMulli

A bridge would be nice... I'm done with -20 degree wind chills.... Mind getting me a job in Hawaii?
