Information display shuts down when interior too hot?

If the interior of my 2005 gets too hot 25 plus degrees celcius the inforation display shuts down and takes the air con & radio with it ?? Anyone ever come across this before. It starts up again once the interior of the car cools down i.e. windows open - HELP !

I have the same problem. When this happens (on hot days), I press the radio unit at the corners or other solid areas, until the display comes back to normal. Apparently the plastic housing expands with the heat and the radio contacts get misaligned. Hopefully this works for you as its an easy and free remedy.

Sweet - Cheers - I might take the unit out and make sure that the plugs are all in secure
