Have any of you had your screen go to this?

Have you tried to change the screen with your finger

HMI is bad. This is a new replacement system from 2016 model year to get Android Auto in my 2014. Company that supplied the unit is sending me new HMI.

The system thinks it doesn't have software loaded when it has been.

I used Digital Dash Solutions in CT. After trading in my 2014 system with factory Nav it was about $900. They were responsive when I had an issue with the system and sent me a refurbished HMI unit to replace the faulty one. System works well now. There are other companies that can do the same thing for roughly the same price.

One thing to keep in mind if you upgrade is that the steering wheel controls won't work with Android Auto/Car Play. They did tell me this up front and I decided to go forward with it anyway. I did some investigating and found out that to get that functionality there are parts in the dash that need to be replaced and programmed as well and the cost that I got for that was around $800.

The only steering wheel controls that are supposed to work with CarPlay are on the back of the wheel. Volume and back/next. That’s how it is in my 16 with CarPlay from the factory. You can still go into the menu in the DIC and choose music, but that’s not technically going through CarPlay, I didn’t think.

As an aside, when I have CarPlay going, the back/next buttons are VERY delayed. Hit next to skip a song. Wait a little bit... if you don’t get impatient like me, it eventually changes. Otherwise you end up hitting it again and it switches songs twice, in the same interval. So change it, wait 5 secs, hit the button again. Wait 5 more secs, it finally changes, then 5 secs later, the second skip goes through on a song you wanted to listen to. Volume doesn’t seem to be affected.

Yes, those are the controls that don't work when an older system is upgraded. Volume and back/next must be controlled from the main infotainment screen for AA/CP only. Steering wheel controls still work for regular radio and media.
