Default Touch screen digitizer/ Replacing Display Questions

Good afternoon everyone,

Well like many other 2014,2015 C7 owners. The dreaded black screen finally hit my car this past weekend. Unfortunately while taking it apart to make sure it was the usual culprit the left USB cable. (Which it was) also to my own dismay, had the digitizer ribbon cable come off from the screen bezel itself. So that leaves me with only a few options, but I wanted to check here first.

1. Does anyone know if there are Corvette digitizers replacements? From my search it didn't seem so, but I also am not familiar with radios or digitizers.

2. I have also looked at purchasing a used replacement screen unit. My only question will any C7 screen work? I see the part number changed from 2014-2017 and is different for the 2018 and 2019 year models. I imagine they would but might as well make sure.

Thanks for any solutions.

I asked the same question on the interchangeability.Haven't gotten a definite answer but I do have a 20019 display that I am going to try in my 2014 in a few days.I think it will work regardless of the number.Alot of electronic parts have several numbers but all interchange.Climate control for a C5 is one I know of.

Awesome let me know how it works, if I can't find a digitizer I'll be forced to buy a whole new unit. Like you mentioned I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but I've been wrong before so. Thanks for the info though.

When you mention the cables you are referring to the two blue cables correct?
