I like your new mystery snowflake. I believe its the rare weather prediction option. Just press foot to the floor and enjoy.

The snowflake means it's time to go skiing.

It doesn't look like a snowflake that I've seen in my Audi. I've never seen it on my '02.

As for the dot - it means AM on the top and PM on the bottom, but only in the northern hemisphere. When below the equator - they are reversed. If you live in Indiana, it depends on whether or not it's daylight savings in the rest of the country. If the car is not shiny side up - it really doesn't matter then!

Corrupted LED display. Pay $$ to fix or just ignore it

This is definitely a malfunction and NOT normal. Hopefully it is just being caused by moisture/cold and will fix itself.

It's a broken LCD and won't fix itself I'm afraid. Time to look for a used instrument cluster on Ebay...
