I checked for fault codes with my BT cable and the only one I have (except for fuel pump codes, sigh) is A468. The BT program says this about A468:

"A468:
No LVDS signal
Error will not cause a warning light
Error is not currently present
Test conditions have been completed
Timeout"

If I try and reset the code, it comes back immediately. I have to take it in to the deal on Monday anyway for the seatbelt recall, but does anyone have any idea what causes this? I'd like to know if this will be a constant problem with my car for the entire time I own it.
Your CIC either is not sending the LVDS signal (video) or your screen is defective.
