Hi,

Own a 1998 Eagle Talon AWD Tsi. Just noticed that my LCD screen on
my factory Infinity radio comes on normally when I start the car and
then fades out. If I push on the screen, I can see the numbers but
otherwise just a blank orange screen. The funny thing is that the
radio functions fine other than the blank screen. Any ideas? Thanks.

Its a common failure mode for LCD due to deterioration of the LC caused by
low or high temperatures. The only fix is to replace the LCD. Getting
another radio from a wrecker, or a new one, is the simplest solution as
getting a spare part for an 8 year old radio is usually impossible.

Or just put up with it.
