Becker Grand Prix gobbeldygook message
My 89 560 SL just came out of winter storage. The screen on my Becker Grand Prix has permanent gobbledygook...it stays on even when car is off. Pushing any button doesn't change it. I remember needing a code once after battery died (which I can't find), but that was usually after 4 dashes...this is just gibberish. Any suggestions before I call dealer with VIN? thanks

Not gibberish--it's Klingon.
