The MID (Multi-Functional Information Display) is the WHOLE unit - what you're referring to as the radio/clock display. The LCD inside is connected via a ribbon cable, and the connections to this cable go bad.

You can replace just the ribbon cable or the cable with the display attached or you can send the MID unit away to have the cable (or display and cable) replaced if you feel this is too hard to DIY.

I have to do this job myself one day soon...
