Ouch. Expensive fix
First TSB of this issue, so GM does not know the cause yet. They are likely wanting the whole Infotainment Screen replaced so it can be Shipped to GM for diagnostics. A later TSB will likely be issued with a less intrusive fix.
Do we all get a guess?
Sounds like electronic hardware to mean. I’d bet is a chipset change.
Your local dealer just swaps the unit. No expertise available or required.
Maybe a depot fix? But they can’t use it in a new vehicle…
I always appreciated the Tesla OTA fix for most everything… Catch up GM!
…but then one day the Tesla screen went blank… $3k fix…
Virtually everyday a recall. Pitiful!
They’re trying to catch up with Ford.
Once again infotainment issues…..GM cannot get it right….can’t wait until there tech toys get the larger screens and all there customers just see smudges and their own finger prints on a blanked and or locked screen……….
Chinese electronics at their finest. Maximum profits. But we have to do everything twice and stick it to the consumers
Nice try. The screens themselves are American (Harman). The system is Japanese (Denso TEN).
If you’ve been following along Harman is pure junk. Go ask Subaru drivers.
GM always changing things up , the don’t more get the bugs worked out of something then they got to try something different, IF IT WORKS GOOD LEAVE IT ALONE that’s y there well never be any more GM products in me drive way again
It seems it’s affecting more vehicles. Camaro6 website has a thread with this same problem.
Save pennies for the Lectrics, lose a fortune in recalls and defective cra$p.
And God brought the world LEXUS…
