It's like a white screen of death. Came out to the car this afternoon to this picture.

Lol. Nope, the screen wouldn't go back to normal. I let the car sit for an hour or so and now it's fine. Very strange

This very thing happened to me as well. I let it sit for 20 minutes and it returned to normal as well...

Was it unusually hot? It seems like some "features" have been carried over from the B5 days

LOL. I was thinking the same thing... my center display has been going in and out since the car was past warranty... the labor involved in opening the dash is not worth the repair.

Default Same here

It happened to me in the middle of a roadtrip... I lost navigation cues in the cluster and had to rely on the dash screen...
Stopped the car. On, off. No use.
It came back by itself after the car was parked for about one hour, after lunch...
I took to the dealer and showed the photo. They didn't find anything and said the software is up to date.
Kind of frustrating... But it hasn't repeated since then.

Any more people have this happen to them?

It happened to me today. I drove the car home and things have been normal again after the car was turned off and restarted.
