Have you had a play with the brightness adjustment (near the headlight switch)? Faulty switch maybe!? or an ambient light sensor?

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=10924 although in this instance the display is dim and is more visible as it becomes warm. I have a similar problem to yours, but only with the time/date display, in that the left side of it gradually fades. I thought someone else had posted about the display fading, but can't find it.

In one of those other threads, it mentions about the ambient temperature in the car, so in theory, as long as the door remains open and the engine isn't running, then there will be no build up of ambient temperature, and the display won't be affected. I don't like much heat in the car (temp set at 18-19 and window opened if necessary), but there's still enough of a buildup to affect mine.
