WTF version Navigation screen

hmm.

Tuesday I drive the car, nav screen looks fine, works fine, etc.

Car sits undriven tuesday through thursday morning. The temperature ranged from about 18 during the day to about -2 at night.

Thursday morning I start the car and I have this line across the screen. Nothing touched the screen, I didn't bump it, nothing.

anybody seen this before? I figured it may be related to the cold, but I drove the car for about 20 minutes and it got no better. Did the screen crack?

thanks.

A Mercedes obviously!
It's quite hard to tell from the photo, is it bad pixels? It looks like it.

all of a sudden though? seems like that would be strange.

I can get a new screen for about $220, but I find it hard to believe that 100 or so pixels just randomly go out to lunch.

It happens. Seen it on a few HDTVs so I assume it could just as well happen to the COMMAND.

well it seems this has started spreading, so it looks like my screen is toast.

well, after driving it for a while in warmer weather, it seems the screen is repairing itself.

odd but encouraging sign

to close the loop on this, as the weather has gotten warmer, the screen is back to normal. I'm assuming this will turn into an annual event, so I may just replace the screen next year.
