MyLink screen "thinks" it is being touched. Changes things

[Ian Whyte]

I have a 2017 Silverado and my radio is going all wanky too. Just goes to random screens while I’m driving

I just replaced mine for $300 and about 30-45 minutes

Same thing. 2017 Silverado. Checked pig tail under glove box- fixed it for a couple of days. Reset to factory settings- fixed it for a couple of days. Took it to the dealership and they upgraded the software- fixed it for a couple of days. I give up…I guess I’m going to have to get a new freaking screen!!

I was having same problem with my 2015 LT starting 9/21. Had auto electric shop go thru truck thinking short or grounding problems, nothing was found. replaced hmi 10/21.  started having same issues 5/22. replaced hmi, new one, dealer flashed. Lasted 2 months, same problem. 2 weeks ago, on suggestion, removed touchscreen, took apart and  cleaned ribbon cable  connectors with pencil eraser. So far so good. Going to Parker AZ next week, about 3 hour drive. Will updated when I get back.

Yet another info center going wackey.

2017 Silverado. The DIC changes to Radio instead of Speedometer. Change it back with steering wheel TouchPad to Speedometer and then it jumps right back to Radio. The info center screen randomly scrolls thru radio station list. Sometime goes to Navigation screen.

Just started happening and only have 38K miles on the truck.

 Did your radio do this

This sounds like the digitizer is shorting out and needs to be replaced. 
This is relatively inexpensive on eBay and there are a few threads on this site and “how to”. Videos on YouTube to R & R.

I have a 16 cooorado, same issue. Almost unusable especially with phone plugged in it calls random people. Even without phone it opens gps and every other app and changes music.

 

 

I cleaned the screen. No cover. All factory. Please help. My morning drive sucks.

Pretty easy fix. You can buy a new touchscreen digitizer through Amazon for less than an 100 bucks and replace it yourself. There are several YouTube videos that will guide you through it.

Digitizer didn’t fix my issue…still doing the same thing…I have replaced the actual screen with one from a wrecked truck after I punched mine and then replaced the digitizer on the new radio & still the same thing

[Wyatt1963]

Sorry to hear that and I hope your hand is ok

maybe the ribbon cables?

they are finicky??

 

good luck with this and let us know what you find.

Next step is the HMI module. It's located behind the glove box above the cabin air filter. I would check the cables to it, before changing it. They can come loose.

We have the same problem with our 2017 Colorado. I need a fix before my husband punches the screen! Specifically, what digitiser do l need to buy?
