Hi All,

I own 2014 Corvette 3LT Z51 7SP since 2016 when purchased it had 2800 miles on it. I am the second owner.

I join this forum because of a problem lot of C7 owners are having. Yes it is the infotainment system. Right now it is simply a black screen. I have tried resetting the system. It stated working again during my drive went back home and parked it. The next day I took it out again everything was working then the music stopped being streamed from my phone. It look like the phone still worked and the nav was tracking my location. I stop for gas and tried resetting the system open the screen, shutoff the vehicle and open the door for 90 seconds. Started the vehicle closed the screen and drove home (about 15 minutes) the screen just stayed black. The backup camera does even work.

I was wondering if there is an easy was to test the wires, other than removing the center console, dash trim and parts of the dash.

Thanks in advance
Ralph

This morning I drove to the gym 10 miles, the screen was black the entire trip, no radio, no music, no phone, no nav, Bluetooth didn’t connect and thr backup camera didn’t work either. Park the car and went into the gym. When I came out and started the car, the infotainment system worked like normal.

Early production models have been known to have defective screens. Sometimes its just the wire connector being loose.

Is there an easy way to test the connections without removing the console and the dash?
