It sounds like the LCD display is on the edge of burning out. There is no cheap fix for it. You might as well get a new headunit.

Sony has never been that great when it comes to car audio....not sure why.

You could send it to Sony, but the cost to fix it will be as much, if not more, than a new radio.

Sony car audio products have gone down in reliability over the years. I would get a new radio, something other than Sony.
