ok so i have a 06 tC and i was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me.

this is the problem. When its hot outside and the inside of the cabin gets super hot, the stereo appears to look like it is turned of yet i can hear music and work the volume from the stearing wheel controls. The display face does not show untill it cabin has cooled off (ex. use the A/C) then the face re-appears.

Im wondering if anyone has had this kind of problem, especially during the summer. I told Toyota but they have not had any complaints about this.

 

this is kinda common in the fact that it has to do with LCD displays. Heat will mess with the crystaline structures and when they get too hot they will fade until they cool off. My cellphone does the same thing when I forget it in the car during the day out here. My screen will be completely white until the screen and phone cool down. The only suggestion I have for you is to put down the radio door, that may help prevent it. Tint your windows and put up a sunshade screen in the windshield will help reduce the inside temps as well. Its nothing too alarming, however I don't know the long term effects of LCD screens getting too hot and doing that. I don't know if it shortens their lifespans and what not but my cellphone has had that happen to it like 20 times so far and still works fine so I say just find ways to minimize the inside temps if able to.

 

close the sun roofs shades too helps keep my cool a lot lately
