Yes is faded but actual in Poland is over 30 degre heat. So in normal temperature display is ok. Only pulsate is when i drive i check the fuses today and all looks fine. I think this new VR is damaged. I look under hood and other issue may be there and connected to VR my acesories belt is vibrating when idle and more shakin when rpm increase. I noticed my crank pulley wobble and tensioner take it but vibrating/ shaking belt its something new to me. Damn

I've done some digging, and I've found the same issue on non-AMG cars. Replacing the battery seemed to do the trick, if you haven't done so. If that doesn't work, it looks like you are having a wiring issue. If that doesn't work. I would have a professional have a professional look into it, but If I were you, I'd try to avoid the speakership as much as I can as its going to be costly.
