Odd luck, or am I just the only one who cares?

My car radio has a bug. It's started displaying a comma in the middle of the time/frequency, e.g. "1,1:15" or "1,00.7". Since it disappears momentarily with the rest of the digits when the display changes, I'd guess it isn't burnt into the LCD. It has only just started doing this, too.

maybe it's gone into European mode, somehow? Did you reboot your car recently? (disconnect the battery for some length of time, or hit the long-term-storage switch, if any, with your knee...)

In general this is called "character", and adds to the "enjoyment" of a "mature" vehicle.

Well, I did get rather rough with it to make it start on Wednesday. I'm dubious that the poor anthropomorphized radio was so scar(r)ed by that that it needed to get all faux-european.

Enjoyment, eh? Like how you used to enjoy your Nissan mumbling fractured phrases at you?
