Infotainment Screen Flicker update
I wanted to update several past posts I have made over the years regarding the infotainment screen flicker. I had determined that usually the flicker occurred after the interior got heated up from sitting in the hot Florida sun. In other words a substantial temperature change. I was always able to fix it by removing the front small triangular access panel on the driver side center console and giving the two blue video wires a tug to seat them better inside the display. However I have noticed over the past two years that the fix was lasting less and less time. It went from lasting several months to only days. Finally I had enough of this and had the screen replaced under warranty. This appears to be a permanent fix. I advise anyone who has this issue, that there is only one permanent solution and that is to replace the screen. It is definitely a bad video wire connection inside the screen and it will only get worse with time.
