Looks like the infotainment screen in my 2014 might be biting the dust. Here are a couple of photos of the failure.
6000 miles on the clock.
First a portion of the screen started flashing off and on.
Then the screen froze and none of the manual or touchscreen controls were operable. Even when shifting into revere the rear camera view did not appear.

When my screen was on the way out it was missing lines in the display, it was most obvious with the backup camera on.
I am not sure, but sounds like yours is more a losse cable connector rather than a bad display screen.
Good luck with getting it fixed.
Thanks! My OEM warranty is still in effect so it shouldn't be a problem getting it serviced. I took the pictures in case begins working when I take it in.
When the C7 convertibles came out in 2014, they made 550 of them in Lime Rock Green, Kalahari top and Brownstone interior. They were called the Premiere Edition and had a plaque. Mine is number 19 of 550.

The screen on my '14 was replaced about 2 months ago. Took the vette tech @my dealership took about an hour & a half. Be prepared however to wait a few weeks for the parts.
Good Luck!
Just noticed recently my screen flickering when the reverse camera comes on and when I'm using NavTool IPhone mirroring. When not using either of these, the screen is just fine, steady as can be. Car was made in March 2014 and never had screen replaced. Planning on disconnecting NavTool and return to original configuration when I get the time to see if that might be inducing the flutter. Any other thoughts?
Oh, flutter is not constant, just occurs randomly and not associated with bumps or anything like that.

In case you haven't tried this when your screen is flickering (and others have reported this as well) - this is me honking the horn - watch the screen...

Great, so did they have to tear apart your dash twice then?
I had mine replaced a few months ago. Following the repair process, I discovered that the tech forgot to 1.) reconnect the USB connector located behind the screen, 2.) broke a clip on my center console and, 3.) scratched up the doorsill plate. Check the tech's work prior to leaving the dealership. I'm still awaiting the completion of these new errors.

I disconnected NavTool from HMI module (reconnected as came from factory) and flickering is still there when going into reverse. It's not doing it all the time, but it's there. Strange that the "home" screen, as well as other standard screen views, no flicker, it's just when there is video that the flickering occurs. Doesn't seem to be the rear camera because it also flickers when I'm using Google Maps from my IPhone mirroring with NavTool. Oh well, time to breakdown and visit the dealer and hopefully have them replace the screen.
Took the vette out to run some errands this afternoon. Infotainment screen seems to be working ok now. I'm glad I took videos of the problem if I need to visit the dealer.
