Anyone have the command screen flicker?

Took a look at a new C63 at the dealership.

Has the Premium package with Nav. The car was outside in the cold (-7C) but when I turned on the screen it flicked. Had some fine lines running through some of the sections left to right intermittently. Didn't stop doing that for the few minutes I spent with the car.

Is this normal or is there something definitely screwed up with this car?

No, nothing is wrong. Understand that LCD stand for Liquid Crystal Display. The key word being liquid. When it's that cold out, the pixels are slow to respond, until the car and the display has warmed up. It happens all the time, with other devices that used LCD displays.

Car was in inside dealer garage all night and still did it in the morning. They swapped screen same problem, they temporarily tried an new Command unit from another vehicle, that made it work OK.

They than put everything back and ordered a new Command unit for this brand new MY2012 car.

Defective from the factory.
