The battery died because my wife was sitting in the car without it started. It should be in good shape, it is less than 5 years old.

It very well could be on it's way out. They can fail in as little as 3 years.

I'd suggest disconnecting the battery for awhile and reconnect it. Give the systems a chance to reboot completely.

How did you jump start the car? From a battery pack or from another car? The latter is probably a bad idea for a car as computerized as a Cruze. Electrical junk from the other car could come over and mess with the Cruze's system.

It was jumped from another car.

There has been numerous people who needed a new battery in 2-3 years with the cruze, so I would also make sure yours is still in good shape. If you run the battery dead enough the car won't start, there's a change you damaged the battery as well.

Would a bad battery make the screen look like that tho?

I took it in to have it looked at and was told the screen was bad. It had to get sent off to get replaced and reprogrammed by the dealer. There wasn't any output from the screen. I am looking into just replacing the radio with an aftermarket once since that would be much cheaper. I hope this will bring back my sounds if I remove that screen from the system.
