So Today, I started my car up and hit the Nav destination button and nothing/loading map data message..Then after driving a few miles, click Radio Display shuts off, then powers back on...Clock different time, cannot set time.. nave still wont work, then display off again..Back on, now Nav working, but cannot enter a destination, missing characters, ect.. Also when xm on, no info on whats playing, all wacky..

Ive had the Nav display shut off some years ago like a few time, but it always worked ok when back on..

Yes, ive had the positive and negative cable changed many time before, yes ive had the Nav updated with new flash updates before, yes the battery is new, only 5 months old, Yes I checked the cables to the battery and to the chassie all is tight and not loose, yes my battery goes dead when car sits for a week,,'

I think my cars Nav/radio display has some sort of short in it causing my battery to die in a week and is why my display is all wacky,,,

Its really weird as the display will be missing letters when you want to enter even the first letter... Now several hour later, just a blank screen when hitting the Nav button, radio seems to work... 2012 LTZ with Nav/xm...

Ive read through all the post and I cant find anybody with these same issues...All the others were fixed fixed by the normal negative cable replacement that already been done,,

Well 50 views and I Guess I stumped everybody...Today Nav Started to work for a little while,, Now I noticed that the radio comes on all by itself sometimes after the car is off for 10 minutes or so,,Weird! I know becase I have the windows down and I work in my garage...

Well woke up to day nice and early to go to the dealership to have this mess fixed, and surprise surprise, everything is working perfect...three days of **** fixed on its own, guess I git to bring it in, in the act somehow..

Ok So today Nav not working again, went straight to dealer and guess what happened! This NEVER happens at the dealer...! The Service writer gets in the car, and the whole Navigation/HVAC/Radio Display Turn Off, Then on, then off again, then On , Then a minute later off again, wont come back on for 5 minites, and off course no Nav when it did turn on! Amazing, this never happens when your at the dealer, they usually just look at you and don't believe you!

Let you guys know what happens Tomorrow...

Well Boys the verdict is in, they say the radio is bad, Radio Part Number: 22879332
Retails for over $1424 They want to sell it to me for $1135 plus Tax Plus $300 for installation..So $1537.....ouch

Only good thing is if this doesn't solve the issue, they got to eat it...What you guys think?

I actually have a wholesale account with another Gm Dealer near my house, I went to get a price and it was only Slightly Higher by like $20 for me to buy it, but no Tax...But the problem is I think it all has to be programmed....and Hopefully it will come with an updated map....

Also, I heard you there is actually a core fee, so you cant keep the old unit....

Its like what can you do, The whole car wired through this central Nervous system, HVAC, Amplifier, NAV, All the options for the Car, I don't think there is anyway for an aftermarket system to Work correctly with all this BS, not to mention, the lowerering down of Air Con/heater when a call comes through,ect.. It would cost probably more for an aftermarket system, if you could even get it to display all the HVAC info, outside temp, ect.. Hopefully it will come with an Updated 2017 s/d card. it would be worth $200 I guess...

A Cruzetalk member sent me info that you could get the Radio Fixed for $500, wich is a good deal, but with all the electrical issues this car has, I think I'm just going bite the bullet just so I can stick it to the dealer in case it still has issues....

A Cruzetalk member sent me info that you could get the Radio Fixed for $425, wich is a good deal, but with all the electrical issues this car has, I think I'm just going bite the bullet just so I can stick it to the dealer in case it still has issues....

...also, my system was a Pioneer System, was that just an Upgrade to the Speakers and an amp, or was the actual head unit special??

 

[Cruzen Vegas]

Same HU.

I think I'd try to find one from a junkyard over either option.

Have you seen the MyLink upgrade thread around here?

Is it plug and Play? Doesn't it have to be programed at the dealer still?

Ive been looking though the Forums, haven't found anything that would deal with an aftermarket Double Din Nav that would be able to show the HVAC contols on screen , ect..
