Default Navigation, Radio, Back up camera, bluetooth quit on my C7

I remote started the vehicle & The Nav and backup camera is all that worked. The Stereo, Bluetooth, onstar, or any of the functions on the screen would not work. After shutting the car off, the 8" Screen would no longer display anything.
Im taking it back to the Dealership tomorrow to have it checked.
Anybody with Similar problems?

VIN 132679
Guess its back to driving the C6...

These things are nothing more than computers on wheels. Sometimes stuff just does not boot up properly and there really is no problem that needs to be fixed as, I bet, is the case in Gobi's situation. vette-usa1, if your car does not boot up right you may need some service. It is not like you run ti the computer store when Windows fails to load up properly. You reboot it and hope it loads right. If it continues to not work then you call tech support. Same with these things. Both my Jeep and previous CTS-V's will have an issue on start up. Rare but it does happen. I'm sure the day will come when the Vette does the same.

I would try disconnecting the battery, wait a minute or two reconnect. That should reboot the whole car. Something to try???

After 7500 miles and 6 months mine did the same thing on Saturday. I shut her down for 5 minutes, restarted and everything came back.

Thanks for the Input.
Yeah Gobi, the buttons below my screen didn't do anything either.
I stopped & started 6 times, nothing ever started working again.
Commander, I have a XLR-V & have never had any problems with it.
Thanks for the suggestion Larry, I decided to let hem handle it.
Glad to hear yours started to work again Footr 1
I took it back to the Dealer & they said a few days, oh well I got to drive it a week (300 mi.) But they did give me a New Silverado to drive until its fixed.

You really need to take a pic/video for you will get the "gee we can't seem to duplicate the problem sir..." trust me start a journal on your issues especially if it is transient.

Reminds me of my Blackberry STORM, every once in a while it would go stupid on me, pull the battery reinstall and viola it was back to normal.

Did RIM have anything to do with the Stingray's software?

The only thing that's quit regarding my C7 is my neighbor (who owns a Cobra) challenging me to a race....

My C6 electronics got weird on me a couple of times. Each time, all was well on the next start. The C7 has been well behaved so far.

My infotainment system has gremlins also . I have a case open with GM and have brought it in twice so far with no good results . I am going in for the third time within the next week if it ever stops raining down here . Alot of times a restart is the answer ..... Good luck ......

C7 operating system is QNX.

QNX (/ˌkjuː ˌɛn ˈɛks/ or /ˈkjuːnɨks/) is a commercial Unix-like real-time operating system, aimed primarily at the embedded systems market. The product was originally developed in the early 1980s by Canadian company Quantum Software Systems, later renamed QNX Software Systems and ultimately acquired by BlackBerry in 2010.

... seeing you asked!

That's funny. Betting battery disconnects will become very routine for C7 owners then

Well its fixed. Chevy house said it was a bad connection in the harness connecter , they put some dielectric grease on the connecter, problem solved.

Whether or not you give them a picture won't change anything if they can't reproduce the problem.
