Default DIS has dead pixels, out of warranty. Anyone know...

... if someone has successfully convinced Audi to replace the console free of charge or is there's a recall?

It seems like a common problem. It could also be a safety issue; soon I won't be able to see any warning lights come up.

Thanks!

There really should be a recall for it. We'll see.

Default The best thing is for everyone to log it with A of A. I and alot of peeps on the A6 board have.

Mine is gone to the point that the outside temp is no longer readable at all.

Default Mine was replaced today, just out of warranty(one month, 52K). SvcMgr helped me... split the cost.

I lost one in my A4 as well... just before the warranty ran out. Wasn't quite as lucky on this one but my dealer helped a lot.

Its a bad design imo... another Audi glitch. I think if there were a cost-effective way to rebuild them it would have already been done. It's nice to have a bright/complete display again, and this time I won't be wiping this one off with a towel to avoid all the little scratches that accumulated after 4yrs of weekly washes. Thx Mr Gustas =-)
