  1. Hi guys, sorry for the late reply on this, I haven't been on this forum for quite some time. To answer some of you on how I have made out since I replaced the screen, I've had no issues since. I will note that when I purchased the used screen off ebay I believe I ended up getting a 2014 model screen, and it was definitely out of a Silverado as the lights were green/blue. I did some tinkering and swapped the led lights and climate controls from my Sierra to get the red lighting back, it wasn't hard, but if you're looking for the exact part you need, contact your dealer for the exact part number to save you the hassle. Also with the older model screen the 2 led's by the CD slot are now always on (instead of being only on once theres a CD in there), I didn't like that at first but I don't even notice it now. That being said if I had used a 2015 screen I do wonder if I would have ended up experiencing the same issues. Hopefully this helps. All the best!
  2. Yes I had to replace the entire touch screen unit. Its a faulty touchscreen. I ended up buying a used one off ebay and installing it myself. Just make sure you get the right unit, Chevy's have blue/green LED lighting and GMC's have red LED lighting. Ask your dealer for the proper part number. Or buy direct from the dealer. In Canada the units are around $1000 (Canadian) I bought one off eBay for around $200 CDN shipped. Good Luck!!
  3. Lol, I was waiting for someone to comment on the fuel gauge, I was actually just pulling into the gas station at the end of that video. I thought it might be a short in the steering wheel too, but the steering wheel controls don't control items on the main display, only on the odometer display, also when I power off the radio, so that the main display shows only the clock, the issue goes away and nothing is affected, not even the odometer display. In the video you can see the dash and certain lights, go dim and bright, this only occurs in the video not in real life. I thought it was just a resolution difference between my phone recording video and the displays in my truck, but the dimming stops half way through the video. I've also disconnected bluetooth, just in case it may have been some app on my phone that was taking over, but the issue is still there, so its definitely the truck. if I had to guess is the media centre itself. What a piece of s**t, so frustrated with this right now, I'm honestly considering trading it in for something else. I've been a loyal GM truck owner (this is my 5th truck in 14 years), but the fact that this is going on and other little annoyances with GM, such as their media technology being about 5-10 years behind everyone else is making me want to switch and try out another brand.
  4. Hi Everyone, I could have sworn I already posted this, but I can't find it anywhere. My 2015 GMC Sierra All Terrain SLT 1500 truck's media center seems is glitchy, it's either that or I have a haunted truck. I'll be driving and my radio display and my odometer display will randomly start selecting items and cycling through the menu, it will randomly change stations, and one time it even selected voice command, all without any input. Anyway, I've experienced this issue before and I took it to the dealer and while they told me they had never heard or seen the issue before they suggested that they would perform a software / firmware update on my infotainment / intellilink system to see if that would fix the issue and it worked.... for a few months, now it's back. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced the same thing and if they were able to find a permanent fix for it? It is absolutely annoying and very distracting. I have searched this forum and I haven't seen a post from a member that has the same thing that I have experienced. Any help would be appreciated, I'd like to have a permanent fix for this once and for all. I've include a video of what's going on.
