Hello,  First time on here, but I'm hoping that someone can help me repair my 2016 Chevy Suburban My link 8" screen.  It has been glitchy in the past, with the touch area having a mind of it's own.  But that is very sporadic.  But just the other day, it went totally black.  The secret glove box still opens and closes fine. the radio works, but you can only control from the steering wheel controls.  The bluetooth for the phone works.  So I feel like the screen must have gone bad.  Has anyone ever replaced one?? cost??

 

Thanks so much, and I look forward to participating more in the forums.

when you put the truck in reverse does the rear camera come onto the screen? could be a bad screen, OR a bad hmi module. you indicated the bluetooth still works, so im going to bet that your screen has died. We definitely have had customers that have had dead screens. its not common, but its also not uncommon for a screen failure.

We have had issues with out 2016 Suburban MyLink as well. Are you still under warranty?  If so take it in.  I have had ours in several times and until a software update comes out to fix our issue. They extended the warranty on our MyLink to 120k miles and out to 2023.

Try disconnecting the battery for 5-10 minutes.  That should reset the display.  If it is still a problem then a trip to the Dealer will be necessary.

Anybody paid out-of-pocket for a display? Just curious what it would be out of warranty.

I took my 2015 Suburban in just after it went out of warranty and was quoted $1000 to replace the screen.  That was two years ago and I still have a black screen.  I did call GM about this and they acted like it was not an issue.  I said well there are videos all over the internet about it on all different GM vehicles.  I was also told I could need a software update.  I have been just waiting to see if others had the same issue.  Crazy to think of paying $1000 on a new vehicle just over 36000 miles.

I have the same issue with my 2015 Tahoe.  I actually just drooped it off this afternoon for them to look at it.  It cost $200 just to do a diagnostic?. I had other recalls so i had to bring it in anyway..  this has been going on for over a month.  I guess i should have googled it and tried the battery trick.  I’m not paying $1000 if that’s what it is. I’ll report back tomorrow when they tell me

Car-part.com. Great source for parts. Might just be your HMI module that’s behind the glove box. They run around 100 here.

That's not bad at all.  Any repair around $100 is definitely to be considered cheap!

My backup screen works but no Chevy MyLink... no bluetooth, no radio, do you have any insight with these factors know it's more likely to be HMI or radio or whole unit ?

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
