Infotainment screen differences
Hi all. Just purchased a 2014 Stingray 2LT with 4200 miles on it. It quickly became apparent that It came with the wonderful random screen flicker. It is going to the Chevy dealership this week as they think it needs a firmware update. In doing my research I don’t believe that will fix it. Also in doing my research I have noticed that there seems to be two differently wired screen modules. Most seem to have two thick blue wires on the bottom left side and some have two thin black wires. Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Was one an earlier design and the other the improved design? Mine has the thin black wires. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Can’t help you with your questions, but would appreciate it if you post up whether a firmware update solves the flicker problem.

The HMI modules were updated to the 2.5 version in 2016. The 2.5 version offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Here’s a recent post in the parts for sale section with photos of both HMI modules.

the top one is the revision that they just put in my 2015, the loop is supposed to keep the wires from rubbing and eventually breaking. mine started with a random flicker, then one day out of the blue it just quit working. it was a $980 repair, the bad thing is it could be one of three parts, the display, the hmi module, another random part. since i wasnt convinced, i took it to the dealership. would rather pay them and know rather than get a $500 display and find out it was the hmi module

here is a pretty good read, page 4 also shows you how much you have to take apart to get it out

Thanks again! I’ve read that thread in my research. It sure is a lot to take apart but luckily there’s a lot of great information out there on how to disassemble the dash and center console. Hopefully I won’t have to go that route but if I have to it doesn’t seem too bad. Hell I’ve nearly completely disassembled my C4 and put it back together so I should be ok. Lol
