I started it in the morning and the temps were below Zero that morning. I noticed that the left side was pretty fuzzy where i couldnt read any of the info. It only lasted a few seconds and that was the only time its occurred so im keeping my fingers crossed

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the long delay. It hasn't happened again since that one time. But I did bring it to my dealership, showed them the pics and also told them about the common issue of the navigation screen flashing blue and restarting. They're aware of the nav restarting. But my tech said the green screen was the first he's heard of.

Their finding was that the "radio multi receiver shorted." They are ordering a part called, SOP Radio Receiver Assy. It is SPO#14077001, if this helps anyone. No swapping of my radio is needed. Tech said the part should come in sometime next week, and install should take several hours. At least I don't have to leave my car for an extended amount of time/days, as others have reported here when swapping out their radio is required.

Not sure if this is the correct resolution, but the tech was very confident that this was the cause and the fix for it. I'm hoping it is. It seems the blue flash on the nav screen and restart has been occurring more often now. I'll update after install.

*sigh* It's unfortunate, as I've never experienced any electrical issues with my previous 2IS. It's like my 3IS has turned German. Lol. I'm hoping too!

Hi iPinky,

Glad to hear they will take car of the issue for you with minimal hassle. Is that part for your green gauge issue or the Nav rebooting?

Me too! According to them, it's supposed to fix both. We shall see.

What are the "known" electrical issues? Not trying to call you out... Just looking for the detail.

I was reading an article on google about it. Said Lexus was most reliable but the 3IS had known electrical issues. I was actually searching for Porsche info at the time and stumbled on it so I didn't save the article.

It has Nav issues. My car blinks blue every now and then.
