Since there have been a spate of postings about this,
Many people have done the "auto on mod" for their lilliput. This auto on uses an RC circuit to "press the button" to turn on the screen. However, most Caps have a temperature range. Below this range, the characteristics of the component changes. Most Caps used are Electrolytic, which generally uses a liquid electrolyte. Because of this, in cold, particularly extreme cold temperatures, the liquid is less effective, and the RC circuit will not act correctly. You can try and locate better Capacitors, that will work in the extreme cold. Glass is probably the best known extreme cold Cap (they use them at Nasa and in the Military) but they are difficult to locate, and quite expensive. I know of one manufacturer (

Another result of extreme cold is, dare I say it, shrinkage. Everything will shrink/contract in cold conditions. You may not ntoice it, but even the plastic in your car will shrink/contract ever so slightly in the extreme cold. Of course, if you screen in mounted molded into your dash, the shrinking dash may have adverse effects on your screen, and in particular, the TS. Of course the plastic sheets of your TS can also shrink, and in particular, if you sheet shrinks more then the other, or they shrink differently, that can cause the sheets to touch, making the TS operate erratically. The only real solution for this is to heat up the interior of your car before you start the computer. You can just wait for it to warm up when you get in it, or perhaps use a remote start to do it, but other then waiting for the car to heat up, there is nothing you can do.
