This seems to be what happened to me back a couple years ago. Turn on the AC and cool the car down and see if the display comes b ack to normal.. also push in on the center of the radio a few times. My rx8 would show alien garbled letters on the display when the car was left in the hot sun.. turning on the AC and cooling off the car made it work again (after a few mins). I was under warranty back then, but the dealership found the problem after swapping out a couple parts and 2 or 3 visits.. one of the circuit boards was acting up.
