Touch screen issues - 2016 2SS

67rstbkt · 07-10-2019, 07:11 PM

I searched and found maybe one topic on this . For the second time this week my radio is freaking out. The screen displays, but it’s like there is a “ghost finger” making selections all over. The other post I found correlated this to heat and a problem with the touchscreen. It’s been hot this week, but this has happened right out of the garage, where the car is out of the sun.
Sadly, I’m almost certain I’m past the 3 years/36000 warranty (2016 2ss)
My question is - has anyone had these issues? Common occurrence? And, I see I can buy a replacement unit online. Is there any sort of programming for these or can I just replace the hardware? Any help greatly appreciated.

*EDIT*
Searching around, I guess people have been having similar issues. I found a few dead end threads. Some claiming software update needed, another said USB issue, and yet another said screen needs replacing.
I gotta think that 3 years in, if this is a somewhat common issue, there exists a common solution?

You can calibrate the screen in the menu

When it was happening, the screen was not responding. I removed the display fuse in the trunk and it’s working again. I guess now it’s just wait and see.

I had this exact same problem, and the fix worked for me as well. Thanks for sharing!
