    My dash radio display has a white tint when I start the car and then for the first few minutes. Then it is back to normal Any ideas?

    that's a new one. how long has it been doing it, have you owned it since new? maybe pull the fuse for a minute or two.

    It could be a moisture problem. Has the car had any history of a windshield replacement that may be cause for a leak. It could also be a bad circuit board in the radio causing low voltage to the screen (bad capacitor)

    Following up to see if you found any causation and what your course of action was. Any updates? I took a photo today and decided I'd try to touch bases with anyone else experiencing and what was done.

    I've wondered the same and maybe some sort of connection that has some sort of expansion contraction connection issue or part sensitive to moisture content. I just posted my latest image regarding in a few post threads.
