Clearly there was a source of water, and there are only four possibilities: spillage windshield leakage condensation (frozen or not) coolant leakage from air handling unit If the air ducts are the source of condensation, there's supposed to be a drainage tube or hole that might be clogged. You could check out these suggestions. I'm not really sure how the intrument panel in this car is designed, so coolant leakage to this location might not be possible, for example if the heater core sits lower than the CD player. A really slow start-up could be due to electronics. Some piece parts (electrolytic capacitors) contain viscous materiels that function a lot better once the temperatures come up. They'll be at the -30 C temperature at initial startup, like after sitting all night. I'm a bit surprised at all this, since automotive electronics go through some really stressful testing these days. You could actually have something going bad, that will be completely failed soon. However, it's also possible that the engineers (and managers) thought that a bit of extreme behavior at an extreme temperature was acceptable, considering the cost or delay involved in fixing it.
