Pixelation on display screen

Sorry to bring up an old thread but this happened to me just now as well. Workaround was the reset but I'm thinking the cause might be tied to the cold weather...last night was the first time it was close to 0c and it happened this morning. (Owned since may and never happened before)

Has anyone else experienced pixelation on their stereo display? Today all of a sudden upon startup my screen was blurry and full of pixels. Any ideas? Had the truck for just over a week.

I’m also having this issue currently. Just noticed it this evening

Hard reboot the stereo head unit, check for updates. if not working you'll need to visit your dealer to apply that module update.

Also experiencing this on my one-month old 2023 XLT. Both on default Ford Audio and on Android Auto. @Ford Motor Company

EDIT: I originally turned the car off and on again, same thing. Then I let the car sit for an hour and now it's back to normal. Odd.

Hi there! Go ahead and send us a private message with your full name and VIN I’ll look into this for you. Thanks!

Have this been solved? Happened on my 2024 today.

Just happened this morning on my 2024. I’ve had it less than a week… All icons, the back up camera view, and even the boot Ford logo are all pixelated. I have not checked for any updates as I was headed to work at the time. The gauge cluster seemed to be unaffected so just the entertainment system screen.

This just happened to me as well, @Ford Motor Company did y'all ever come up with a diagnosis and solution?

FYI, that Ford account has left the building as of January.

Things to try are obviously in the thread: reset the radio, make sure any recalls are done, see if any TSBs apply to your truck, etc.
