Default Got the dreaded navigation flicker issue

It would be a matter of time and it started to happen all of last week. I took it to the dealer and showed them the video and they've ordered a new one.

To all those that have had this replaced, how long did it take your dealer to replace the radio? If more than a day, did they offer you a free loaner? I can't live without the car as I daily drive it to work.

Loaner is part of the deal I believe with most dealerships, you just need to let them know in advance.

It takes less than an hour. No issues since.

Just recently had mine replaced. It took a couple hours because they also fixed the airbag recall at the same time. I am not sure if it is just my dealer's rule but they said anything longer than 2 or 3 hours service will be given a loaner car.

Just a few hours? Okay that's good to hear. My dealer ordered the radio and he told me he wasn't able to figure out which one it is and he'd have to tear it open to see the model number in order to find it. I told him order both radios and that's what he did.
