2017 Silverado Infotainment System Has Gone Nuts

My infotainment system has lost its digital mind. Connected to my phone or not, it randomly (and rapidly) flips between radio, setup screens, navigation, Pandora etc. It started off being an occasional glitch and now is basically unusable. It has even started doing the same thing with the display in the instrument panel. I have tried a factory reset, recalibrating the touch screen, pulling the fuse... Nothing has corrected the problem. Considering the amount of electronics in a modern vehicle, if you can't rely on the radio to last 5 years, what other critical systems can I expect to fail?

 

This vehicle cost almost as much as my first house. I expect better than this. I've read countless other forums where owners have reported the same behavior so I know it's not just my vehicle with this issue. I spoke with the dealer who wants $150 just to run diagnostics. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to address this that doesn't involve getting fleeced by a dealership?

Same problem with my 2015. I did everything you did, no go. Replaced HMI module twice, same problem after a couple of months. Replaced with rebuilt touch screen from Infotainment.com about 3 months ago, same issues. They sent me another touchscreen ($600) about a month ago, No problems since. My Chevy dealer knows about these issues, but GM is doing nothing about problem! Spent about 2k, should have replaced the radio. You can send your touchscreen for repair ($400) with about 1 week turn around. That is only way to go as GM is not making new parts.

Some have had success on eBay for the digitizer 

I paid $200 plus heavy shipping costs but others are finding them much cheaper. 
It’s a relatively easy DIY project. 
 

several threads on this and a few how to videos on YouTube 

 

good luck

Digitizer on your touch screen is toast. You can either replace the whole screen (comes with new digitizer) or disconnect the digitizer itself from the screen. As stated above, there are several threads showing both procedures. Just a matter of how much you wish to spend.

Thanks Wyatt. Time to go hunting for a screen.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
