The display on my infotainment system has been having glitches for awhile, but now they are becoming more frequent. I'm going to list the glitches and maybe somebody can give me some advice if they have had these issues too. In each situation, the glitch lasts anywhere between one to three seconds, then the screen flashes to black and then back to normal.
1 - The bottom half of the screen will turn red and the top blue; I have the color schematic set to the default blue. You can still read the screen just fine, except it's like the computer doesn't know what color to customize the screen so it does two at one time.
2 - The screen will flash to green, then black, then back normal. This one worries me because the screen turns pure green, you cannot see text or any gradient; sort of reminds me of a computer having display driver problems. This glitch will only last for a fraction of second but the color is so intense it grabs your attention.
3 - The screen will flash static (think watching an analog TV with an antenna durning a lightning storm and the black and white static that would ripple across the screen when a bolt of lightning would strike nearby)
4 - The screen will split in half horizontally, taking the top half and switching it with the bottom half (color remains the same).
I know when I take the car to the dealership, the technician is going to say that the problem cannot be reproduced. I say that because I cannot get the car to reproduce the problem either; bumps, turns, hard stops nor connecting my iPhone have produced the glitches. The only thing that I can say is - it always happens when I'm driving. Sometimes shortly after starting to drive, sometimes 30 minutes into a drive, sometimes it won't happen for a week at a time.
It really seems like it's a loose connection based on how fast the screen error occurs and then resolves. The glitch happens so fast I can never get a photo taken (although, I'm thinking about mounting a GoPro and hitting record, see if I can capture the glitch on video). Every time I go in for service, I do ask the dealer to check for updates to the computer system.
I've put about 30,000 miles on my car and worry what will happen if the screen stops when the warranty runs out. If I have the dealership note that the screen is having issues while under warranty, will Honda repair the screen after the warranty runs out?
This infotainment system is integrated into the cars main functions to the point I would have no other option than to replace the unit quickly if it were to completely fail.
If I can get a photo of a glitch in action, I will post it here --
