I was out and about when I drove to Oatman AZ. I was exiting the car and pressed on the Infotaiment door where I keep my wallet. No go! Visions of getting the dash dismantled ran through my head (such as it is). I decided to just leave the car for a few minutes to make sure everything shut down and go back and try again. Whew! It opened up. Not going to put anything important in there again. Probably just a computer glitch as nothing was jamming the door. Lesson learned.

After reading a few threads on here about people getting their stuff stuck back there, I have decided never to use that area to store anything important. In fact I haven't even opened it up more than once. Glad yours started working again! I think it was member THEPLATINUMOG who had his wallet in there and the battery died and so that compartment wouldn't open and the dealer couldn't get it figured out for quite a few days.

Glad it opened for you on the second try. Definitely a gamble storing anything of value in that compartment.

There is a DIY thread somewhere about getting a malfunctioning screen open. It doesn't require a whole dash dismantle, just the trim pieces around the screen. However, I probably wouldn't keep my wallet there.

When I first purchased my 14 C7, I had a "scare" once, when the screen didn't open, but I quickly discovered it won't open on an M7 when it's parked in reverse because when the rear camera is switched on it's locked up. It's always switched on in reverse, whether the car is running or not.

Hopefully just a temporary glitch. But if you use the compartment often, the wires that bend every time the screen goes up and down might be frayed. Theres a guy on this board that did a write-up on how to fix with off the shelf connector.

Also, if the car is an M7, the door will not open if the gear is in reverse even if it's turned off.

for sunglasses....that's it

The only things you should put in there are your sunglasses, and the USB for the PDR.

I don't use it. Not an issue.

I keep my ez-pass in there.

Glad it worked out. The thread reminded me that here in the cold north, we don't get scares of any type for a solid 4 months.

Wrong yet again.

Vet Interested

At least he is consistant!

You sure about that? My 2018 GS PDR uses a SD card and it resides in the glove box.

JMII

same here. I have used it maybe 3 or 4 times - just store misc stuff, nothing I care about, not even sunglasses. Between doors getting stuck and wires being damaged its not worth the risk. Nice idea GM, but no thanks

Woodson

He’s sure about everything but correct about very little.

If your wallet is not in your back pocket, why don't you just keep it in your purse on the passenger seat?

Is that port behind the screen for the PDR? I thought that was in the glovebox??

buckeye4

Same here.

Do you mean the storage space behind the screen where there is a button where the screen slides up and down ? Believe me I have already decided not to put my wallet there incase the screen does not open, I dont have vette yet but will use it for non important things like cell charger, sunglasses etc, it's a very useful storage place
