Strange condensation

I have noticed that at times I am getting a small area of condensation behind the glass/plastic on the left-hand corner of the stock audio system's display panel. This only started happening once the weather warmed up to above the freezing point. I also tend to notice it when I run the A/C for a while. It's a very small area and it eventually goes away. It hasn't affected the system in any way, but I'm curious if this happens to anyone else.

That hasn't happened to me, but I live a lot closer to the equator than you too! I once noticed condensation from the AC building up above and around the factory radio when it was in my car once, but it never happened again. I just hope that what you are describing won't happen again. Water and electronics don't go together to good! Let's just hope that if it does happen to you, that your car is still under warranty.

It also happens when the A/C is off. Guess it's just one of those funny little things.

Mine has never done this. I don't know how much (if any) sealing there is around the LCD on stereos. If you are still under warranty, take it in and at least get it looked at. I have never had condensation with any stereo, stock or aftermarket.
