Well, I experienced the clicking and screen switching randomly for the first time this morning. I noted a couple of things. First, the clicking is the same sound you hear when switching between screens by touching the screen icons. It is not a mechanical click such as a relay or metal on metal contact would make. Second, the screen does not break up and pixelate, like it would if the issue were electronic interference. Third, this was by far the coldest morning yet since I got the car, at -1 degree F. This leads me to believe the problem is not necessarily the screen failing. I suspect its an issue of either a connection that becomes loose with temperature change or perhaps a cold bezel or mount that changes shape just enough to put stress on the touch screen. This stress is then "tricking" the screen into thinking an icon has been pressed when in reality it has not. And if the stress continues, it can act like the screen has been touched continuously, and cause repeated screen switching and clicking. Lowering the screen appears to be removing this stress, allowing the touch screen to catch its breath so to speak, and that's why the clicking stops.

This seems to be the most likely issue, as the person above stated the dealer shimmed the bezel and fixed it on that car. I will see what happens when I leave the office for lunch. Its supposed to warm into the low 20s by then. I suspect I will have no screen issues.
