    Default Double Vision on the Dash! - Am I crazy, or new glasses wonky?? Anyone else?

    Jumped on the 2021 F3s this morning to run to the store. Looked down at the gauges and saw double vision. They looked like a double exposure of a photo. When I came out of the store and restarted the Spyder everything was good. Either I am crazy, or my new glasses are acting up. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had that problem.
    No, I was not drinking yet! LOL
    Thanks

    sun baked control panels can lead to such happenings.

    I am not thinking "sun baked control panels" is the problem. The Spyder only has 7000 miles on it and is garage kept. However, anything is possible. I appreciate your opinion.

    I remember reading about it happening. Seems to be extremely sporadic without a cause being found. You may never see it again.

    By "sunbaked" I am referring to the dash controls getting overheated on a hot sunny day--like they have sometimes in Florida.

    It did it to my 2021RTL. Cycled key and all was well. Hasn't reoccurred in two years. I did take pictures in case it happened again.

    HI, 66 Roseracing66,

    I had it happen on my 2023 F3 LTD Special Series last year, I had the double vision on all of the gauges, I was shifting gears and using the controls too fast. It did't last too long. At the time I was going up a hill. After I shifted more slower, the display was normal again. Since then I have had it happen.

    Sorry no pictures.

    Deanna

    Thanks for everyone's input. Guess I won't worry about it until the next time. Never a bad answer with this electronics stuff. Cheers

    Happened to me once on my 2021 RTL. I turned it off, took out the key, and restarted and it was normal again. Sounds like a software glitch that just needed rebooting.
