Default Infortainment screen jittering

All of a sudden my infotainment screen started to jitter. Used the car last night and no issues. Got my C7 in October, 2013, VIN 00022 and have not had any issues since I got the Vette.

Anyone else have this issue?

Its been seen on early 14's... They will replace the screen once it starts a flicker badly

you might want to take a phone video of the flickering that's how I proved it to my dealer

They replaced mine no problems , warranty - happens on early 14s....you'll probably have to make two trips to the dealer because that usually don't have it in stock, want to diagnose and then one visit to put it in

It is caused by a bad connector to the screen. Easy fix, apparently since it only took my dealer a couple hours to fix it. (After waiting a week to get the part in...)

I've had my C7 for about one year and one month. The infotainment jittering started happening on mine two days ago, VIN 11,808. It's doing it daily. Doesn't stop the music though.

I made a video on my iPhone to show the dealer since it probably won't happen when I go in for their diagnosis.

Did the same thing (took video) to show the service advisor. Mine started to jitter then would black out for extended periods. They had the car for a couple of days to consult with Chevy, eventually they ended up replacing my screen. Vin# 7299 (2014)

Default Replaced

I just had mine done last week. The whole screen needs to be replaced. They didn't ask for a video by now they know about this issue at my dealer locally at least. It took two days because they had to order it

stopped of at my Chevy service dealer, who I know very well, and he said just to let him know the next time it happens and he'll order the part and when it comes in he'll call me and do the swap.

Just your luck to be on a cross country road trip, relying on your navigation heavily, and it goes out... time to dog cuss the dealer who said "next time"

, luckily just got back from a long weekend of traveling where the nav system was indispensable.

System crapped out today. I called the service dept and they'll order the part, then call me to schedule the fix.

It happened to mine too..my 2014 was built in January 14 and I took a video of the screen with my iPhone. Glad I did as the codes they checked for on my car showed no problem. however, I took three different videos from different days showing the screen randomly would go crazy flickering and blacking out..warranty also covered replacing the information screen on my car too.

Took the car to the shop this morning and they put it on the diagnostic scanner, sure enough, threw an error code. Ordered the replacement on the spot. Will call me when the part comes in for replacement.

I also had videos, just in case.

My C7 is #1445-I too have had this problem twice. I took mine into the dealership to have the screen replaced.

They refreshed the screen and no issues to date. They said this will fix the problem and it's not necessary to replace the screen.

Good for you. I got the software updates but didn't fix mine. Dealer replaced the screen last week. Delivered October 2013. VIN 2924.
