C6 Navigation Display Outage

I am not showing a TSB when I do a quick search. However, I am not a technician, so I can't say for sure. If your vehicle is still under warranty, I would suggest just taking it in. The dealer has access to the same information as I do and will be more familiar with the problem. If they have a problem diagnosing this, please let me know. I can than push to have the dealer involve our technical service team.

I have an appointment with my dealer to get the update. Even though I am now out of warranty, the problem was documented during my warranty period; the dealer said they would take care of it.
It seems the new GM is more customer service oriented. I am impressed with Chevrolet Customer Service; they contacted me after reading my post here in the forum.

I'm curious on this as well as my '06 has done the same. Obviously a long shot but is there any way an every day Joe can order (or even longer shot - download) this disc to update ourselves?

Same same
My 09 occassionally does this... It can get very annoying.
The screen is completely black, you can still hear music and touch the blank screen. Touching the screen will activate the normal commands. I find that this happens if the car sits for an extended period of time, and the screen has always came back on after a few cycles of turning the car off and on.
If it continues I will get the unit replace. My front left Bose speaker is already shot and I had to have that ordered and the dealer has to replace it.... I have 4500 miles on the car, and am already having some stereo issues.... I hope it doesn't continue.

I found a workaround for the screen issue was to say the voice command "screen off", wait for the acknowledgement, and then press the NAV button which turns on the screen.
Thanks for the service bulletin information. Hopefully I'll get this applied while they replace the speaker ...
I have a 2008 coupe with 3 months remaining on the factory waranty.

Blank Navigation Screen
I've had the same problem lately with my 07 Coupe. Most times, comes back to life on next restart of car, but that also failed today. By coincidence, noticed that the window indexing was off. So re-indexed the windows and then restarted the car - nav came back on.
Don't know if it's related, especially given the TSB, but thought I'd pass along.

Dealer did the bulletin on my car last week, it took them a while to get the update disc in 'cause they had lost their original.
Everything working normally so far, but it hasn't been below freezing in our garage yet this winter.

Thanks for the great information...yesterday started my 2010 GS with 1900 miles on it after 3 weeks parked and no screen (same indications as above posts)...restarted no fix, drove to Lowes, came out, started...working fine. Will take to dealer for radio software fix.

Grrrr, ditto, after my 2010 GS sits for awhile, which has been common here the last few months of monsoon rain, the screen is blank on start up. Shut the car off and restart and it is fine and is fine the rest of the day I drive the car.
I will see if my dealer can do this update hopefully while I wait if they let me schedule an appointment. They will have to apply this update on my word, should know my customer service level shortly pending how this pans out. I am glad it is an easy fix if the software does the trick.
Ideally I wish I could get my hands on the update file to burn a cd and just do it myself and save the trip.

This thread will probably be locked pretty soon because of age, but our nav screen worked fine for the dozen or so times I started it in cold weather this year.

Thank you Jim.
Hopefully the thread won't get locked as I used the search and found the exact condition I am dealing with in my car. Wondering if anyone else that posted on here had success with the new update?

kellyhalloran,
Could you send me your information (name, number, address, VIN, current mileage, involved dealers) so I can look into this information?
Thank you,

2005 C6 radio/nav out. No sound. nothing.
My radio/nav unit has gone out. It doesn't come on after restating the car either. It is cold out but the car has warmed up to normal temp for a long period of time giving the unit time to get to room temp and still will not respond. I have removed the battery cable with no help too. I have also pulled the fuse to check it and still no response. With the radio system down I have no sound for car noises like when you press buttons, warnings, seat belt off and the like. Would the below freezing temps have anything to do with this problem?
