Help me out here...
Wife is out of town with the GS. She calls me 200 miles into the trip and says the hvac/radio display has blacked out. The radio plays, the air blows but she can't adjust any of it. Any ideas as to what has happened? And no, she didn't turn the display "off". Thx in advance for your help.

restarting the car doesn't help? it's really hard to debug remotely

Tell me about it! I could probably do something myself, if the car was here. Anyway, she'll be back today and hopefully it's something simple.

Yup, it just happened to a friend of mine on her 2006 GS430. Get ready to fork out 3k at least!

That ain't going to happen! Anything more than $700 or so, it'll be traded. Trust me, I don't like the car
that much!

Yup, screen went out. But everything was working though.
With screen out, tough to control stuff.

Get ready for a big bill, or try to find a nav unit on ebay. Or like you say traded in, not sure who will want a trade in where the screen is done.
