My C7 is 11 months old today (VIN 1818) has the Z51 option and currently at 4500 miles. I love the car, and recently had its first oil service done. At that time the dealership re-flashed the infotainment screen to correct the dim lighting at dusk and early morning. Everything seemed great, and have been motoring along for the past few weeks loving the better lighting during these times.

Last Friday on my way home from work - in traffic - the HUD and dash speedometer/tach got stuck at 23 mph. I accelerated, decelerated - no change. Then suddenly the entire display went blank, except for the infotainment stack. It was black for a few seconds, then seemingly re-booted; it said the radio was off, even though the radio was playing, then seemed to 'right' itself altogether and show the radio data as well. No problems after and drove it quite a bit this weekend.

Question - has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know if the system has a quirk knows to re-boot itself? Seems odd, but it is as though it knew what to do. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

If any of you are experiencing the IP dimming or NAV screen flickering, please PM us. We'd be happy to look into it further for you, and contact your dealership on your behalf.

I had the reboot happen once too. At startup all the waning lights on the dash were lit (but obviously wrong) for about a minute and then it reset and functioned properly.
