Default Well, my flickering Infotainment screen fixed itself...

By going completely black and staying that way. Is that the progression others have seen with this problem: Tiny flicker occasionally, then a bit worse/more often and finally a black screen of death?

At least the distracting flicker is gone and hopefully stays that way until I can get to the dealer. A lot easier for the service to fix it if they see it dead instead of "working as normal."

I had the same problem! Finally, used my cell phone to video tape the flickering and showed to the service advisor............replaced the infotainment unit.............no more problems!

Default Mine went away too....for now...

My infotainment issue went away for now....I'm sure it will come back. That's why I took pics of it so when I go to the dealer I have proof.

Right you are. I was ready to capture it on my phone and it was going like crazy as I drove into my driveway. Had to lower the screen to get to my garage door opener and when I put the screen back up the display was completely normal.
Oh well I'm sure I get another chance...
