anyone having distortion with navigation screen?

Looking for a remedy. Did a search and came up with nothing, unfortunately. Anyways, looking to see if anyones had any distortion in their navigation screens. Have you seen a screen capture with a video camera? That or a magnet + a TV screen (minus the discoloration). Dealership visit? I'd hate to have the dealer rip the navigation out . Thanks in advance guys!

I haven't noticed any distortions, on the nav screen, in the year I've owned the G. When it was 2 months old and I was about 1,000 miles into a 4,800 mile trip, the screen momentarily went blank and reset itself within a few seconds. That was with about 3,000 miles on the car. It now has 8,800 miles on it.

Is it noise or distortion? Something will likely have to be replaced (cable or video unit).

^ yeah, i figured. it's not a noise, it's a clear VISIBLE distortion in the navigation screen (lines going left to right) in varying frequencies...

Sorry, I haven't read all comments, but have you considered taking the car to the dealer?
