    Notice that my MFD changed color in the cold weather for a few seconds. Has anyone noticed this little glitch? FishHawk

    We've had about 15 days of cold weather in Dallas so far this year. I have not seen any color changes in the MFD on my 2007 TE.

    Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR !!

    This is the second winter for my '05 and I have not noticed that. But then again I'm not sure I would notice if it did, unless it changed quite a bit.

    Mine doesn't change color, but I've noticed it stays really bright at night until the inside of the car warms up.

    lcds are dimmer when it's cold. if you have your mfd set to an odd color... like the brown background.. it may look odd when very cold.

    i noticed this more when i was in colorado and it was only 15 degrees out. it doesn't happen in calfornia.


    good ol' california

    And you can hardly call the majority of them "cold" days.
