Radio/DIC Screens changing on their own

I've recently been having an intermittent issue with my 2015 Sierra where the screens on the DIC and the radio will sometimes change on their own.  I was listening to an FM radio station and it switched to the FM station list screen, began scrolling through the stations, and even eventually changed the radio station.  Attached is a video of it happening. I am not doing anything with the radio, it's all on its own.  Yesterday, it changed from the media screen to the connected devices screen and tried to disconnect my phone from Bluetooth.  The DIC will also change sometimes from the info screen to the audio screen.

 

I've taken it to the dealer and looked over a schematic with the tech.  Everything pointed to the HMI module as I've also had an issue with the Onstar wireless connection dropping out and all these systems connect through the HMI.  So they installed a different HMI module and reprogrammed it however the problems remain.

 

Anybody else experience this issue?

Hi, nmusic79. We’re sorry this concern has reappeared after your trip to the dealership. If you’re considering re-visiting your servicing GM dealership, we would be happy to work alongside them, to provide an additional layer of support. Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Me too

Glad it has extended warranty but I'd like to know what actually fixes this before taking it in so I can tell them, to hopefully save me some frustrating times with them throwing darts at board...

I unplugged my screen and tried to use the controls on my steering wheel. It worked for a day or so but started changing stations again on its own. It’s not as bad as it was and more manageable at the moment. It’ll get me by until I know for sure a definite part to replace.  I’ve read that it’s likely the HMI that’s bad. But haven’t confirmed.

I am having this same issue in my 2016 Chevy Silverado. It was working fine until I had to replace my battery a few days ago. It is now doing this every time I get in the truck. Could it possibly have something to do with changing the battery? I even took the battery back off and cleaned the post and terminals to make sure that they were getting good connection. 
Has anyone resolved this issue? It is driving me crazy and I just turn the radio off now.

We own a 2017 Silverado and have Sirius Radio Stations. As the truck runs down the road, with any bumps it changes channels and the display goes completely haywire.  Then back to normal.  then for no apparent reason back to crazy.

 

I was about to bring it in to the dealership with the extended warranty but with the previous comments, I'm not sure what good it will do.  When you pay over 50K for an item, one would think that it would work.

With the extended warranty, the dealer should be your first choice, IMO.
Also, read the threads about the XM antenna replacement.

I just inherited a 2014 Silverado and I too am having the same issue.  The screen changes on its own or is nonresponsive to touch when I try to change stations etc.  It is very annoying.  The antenna has been recently changed but I would love to know what to do in this case besides getting an after market system installed.

This is obviously a malfunction from the manufacturing and this should be a recall item that GM Fixes!! there are tons of these out there, I found on youtube how some guy fixed it, I'm not mechanically inclined NOR should I have to be to fix a manufacturing malfunction!  There is NO way that this many is just a fluke!  your garages either just like to rake money out of you or are completely clueless as I've gone in there and they have told me they wanted to keep it for diagnostics after explaining to them what is going on and wanted hundreds of dollars to diagnose it and said if it doesn't do it when they have it they can't do anything.  I've had this problem for the past 5 years on my 2018 Silverado and it's actually screwed up my cell phone too when it's connected and starts acting up, it's actually had my phone so screwed up that I couldn't even use it, I had to reboot it and then the volume on my phone stopped working when trying to play music or anything, it hangs up on callers or dials out when your on the phone so you end up with the button sounds but then it randomly calls people, it's like it's possessed by the devil! GM take responsibility and FIX this as a recall!

Try giving the screen a really thorough cleaning, getting rid of all the fingerprints, and dirt buildup. Did this to mine, and have so issues since. The oils in our fingerprints build up on the screen, and start to cause the "ghost touches" you are experiencing.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
