I disconnected the battery a few times and it would come back after some time. No exact time just randomly. Hopefully yours is fix and was just a glitch.

My 2 cents!
How convenient is it to connect/ disconnect your battery?...will you do it on a trip?....or a casual drive?...or some other inconvenient time?
I have included the bulletin number on a previous post. Take that information to you dealer and they will test your unit and if necessary, replace the HMI!....

Here is what one looks like...it is a module which controls the Human Machine Interface...thus HMI...
In addition to controlling the screen, when mine failed, and was reset by the dealer, my heater ran full blast and was uncontrollable via the screen.

HMI problems will not go away by disconnecting/ reconnecting the battery. Yes, that will reset the unit but the underlying problem may still be there. You spent tens of thousands on a new 'vette and you accept this flaw?...

No, I had my problem last March- June. Only drove the car twice, once to get clear bra installed and then to dealer, and it sat at dealer for a month waiting on new HMI module. My post was trying to say, I had the problem and battery disconnect and reconnect would only fix it temporarily.

My HMI unit was replaced today. I took a little under 2 hours and did not require a software flash so all my settings remained the same.
Hopefully, this will fix the blank/ update screen problem.
