2019 Base Radio Touch Screen Non-Responsive

Just recently purchased  a 2019 custom trail boss with the base radio system. Twice now (last night and then again tonight) on starting the truck the touch screen has been unresponsive. The first time, the screen booted to the audio screen I had last left it on, but touching anything on the screen did nothing. The physical buttons below the screen still worked, the music still played, and the screen still changed to the back up camera when in reverse, but nothing could be selected by touching the screen. Tonight, the second time it has happened, the truck happened to display the "Looking at this screen while driving can be dangerous" warning screen that requires you to select "OK" to make it go away. Well, since touching the screen wasn't doing anything, I couldn't make it go away. Music still played in the background from my bluetooth connection, but that screen remained. Both times, turning the truck off and back on within 15-20 seconds did nothing, I had to wait 10 minutes or so with the truck off for it to resolve itself, which would be pretty inconvenient if I was going to be going on a long drive and this happened to occur and didn't want to wait 10 minutes to start driving. I've seen online that for the trucks with on-star buttons on the rearview mirror that you can essentially re-start the radio by pressing one of those buttons a couple times, but I don't have those buttons, and I couldn't find anything in the manual telling me how to essentially re-boot the radio other than turning the truck off and leaving it for a while. I've seen other topics regarding a black screen and other frozen radio issues with no sound, but not one yet specifically for a screen that just doesn't respond to touch sometimes. I also tried to update the software using my phone as a hotspot but it said no updates were available. Anyone else experience this?

 

EDIT: Per the thread below (page 8), since I have the lower level radio, it apparently isn't capable of a software update, so that's probably not going to help my situation. There was also mention of one other person there having a similar issue with the touch screen not responding until the truck is turned off for 20 minutes (@Shoffman8283, any more issues or luck with that?)

Well, this morning it did the no touch response thing again, and then after I turned the truck off for a few minutes and back on, then the screen was entirely black. The backup camera would come on in reverse but without any of the normal back up lines shown, it was just the raw camera feed. I’m going to investigate for loose connections in the HMI box behind the glove box and see what I can find. Otherwise off to the dealer it goes.

Happened to me. I ended up taking it ro the dealership having them reprogram it. Its been good ever since. Waited forever for OTA update but no use. That is why I ended up going to the dealer

Good luck.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Ancillary parts to the lower intake and connections went together without issue.   There was a brief pause when I leak-tested the fuel lines and injection system. Fuel was spraying all over. Lovely. O-rings weren't sealing the fuel lines to the spider, and inbound line was leaking at schrader valve, leaks at both flange nuts. It's moments like those when you just want to set fire to the whole shop, and be done with it. I was mostly enjoying the project up until that point, and was tracking to an agenda of having a running Blazer and a cold beverage in hand by dinnertime.    I found some larger Viton o-rings for my spider and some grease to get them to seat. One leak solved. Swapped fuel line Schrader core for old core. Still leaked. Swapped entire valve for old valve. Leak solved. Nudged the flange nuts a little tighter on the connections. Another leak solved. I could cycle the key / prime the pump and the intake was staying dry.    Reassembled the upper intake, with 10,000 vacuum lines, and filled the cooling system with water* (this is temporary, I'm not done with the cooling system yet).   Showtime!!   Cranked it over and smoke billowed, it was running rough. CEL illuminated and began flashing. P0300 and I somehow tripped a code for the TPS sensor, voltage low.    There's nothing as unrewarding as a vehicle that won't run (and produces the same code/problem) after hours of research and work.   Clearly I was in over my head. Was the timing off, did I stab the distributor incorrectly? Is the new distributor bad? With my limited OBD 1.5 data stream I really don't have a lot of parameters to see. The engine was pulling mad timing again (flooding?).   Think, Atlas, think.   1-6-5-4-3-2. One, six, five.....four, three, ....two. Wait a second. That makes no sense. 1 is the forward cylinder on the driver's side, so 2 should be the forward cylinder on the passenger side, not 6.    I can't believe it, but I'm looking right at it. Swapped 2 and 6 on the distributor and turned the key over, and...   It fired, coughed and stumbled, smoked, and then settled into a smooth idle. The scanner showed no codes, no lights on the dash, and the throttle was nice and responsive to gentle revs while it warmed up.   It's working!!! IT'S WORKING!!!   I paused for a late dinner, no cold beverage yet. I was determined to do my shakedown run. Did a basic safety and fluids check one more time and then went out and put almost 70 miles on it last night. She's a runner, runs good.   Came home and did a post-trip, post-mortem. The underside is dry *except* for where the last owner RTV'd the snow out of the intersection of the timing cover and oil pan. He said he had replaced the timing cover seal, but, my dude had clearly done it incorrectly and then tried to hold back fate with black RTV. Never works.   Yesterday morning I replaced the broken driver's door mirror. As much as I hate cheap Chinese parts, thank goodness for cheap Chinese parts. I think an entire new power mirror assembly cost me like $30, and it works perfectly. Replacement tail lights (faded, and one was busted) ran me about $12/side. I have a door pin kit ready to go in because the driver's door sags just a little and I want to fix that because there's nothing sadder than a saggy door.   I don't know what's next for this rig. Half of me wants to take some nice photos (there's a park nearby with a HUGE American Flag that always seems to be catching wind) and throw it up on CL/Marketplace for a couple grand and see if it flies. The other half of me... I've got a sweet running S10 Blazer that's been keeping my mind off of whatever I'm going through right now, and it's bringing some joy, and is cheaper than therapy. Maybe I'll keep it around for a little while. However, this is my 5th vehicle, just for me. 4 is really my limit, but they are not junk, so need very little attention. I don't know...there's a point where it's just too much and I don't see owning this truck long term. But I solved its major problem, got it running, so I'm going to stick a feather in my cap for now.   Sometimes we just need to get our hands dirty and fix something in the physical world to gain some satisfaction.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I bought the truck new in December 2022, and it's got 60,000 miles. The front cover magnet had slightly more glitter, but overall very clean, no off odor, and good-colored; really nothing to report. My truck has Hi-Lo transfer case, and the fluid looked great, as well. I have towed..maybe 1,000 miles. Yes, this was the first change for all three driveline items. I'll probably do the transmission at next oil change.
