Replacing the infotainment system screen to a aftermarket one?
I have a 2016 CX-5 GT
Hi all,
I am having quite an issue with my infotainment screen and it has been determined that it is a hardware issue, I am past the manufacturers warranty now so the dealer quoted me around $2000 to replace it ($1700 something for the part then $114 + tax for install). I even called Mazda Canada hoping that they would help some and was also told the same thing - I'm on my own because the warranty has expired.
So due to that price I am considering a aftermarket unit.
I am posting wondering if anyone has done this, and what was your experience with it? what ones do you recommend? what exactly do I look for in a aftermarket one?
I would like to retain current features like the car settings, phone, radio, maps etc
I found a site called crutchfield.ca but there are so many there I'm not really sure what to look for.
After the holiday weekend I also plan on calling local junk yards to see if there are any there, would one fit from any first gen CX-5, 2013-16?
I had posted about it once before here.. https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/ma...tainment-screen-goes-black-reboots-too-46588/
It's no longer just distorted, I currently have no use of my screen, except sometimes it will work clearly (back-up camera) when in reverse.
I have the maps SD card out and the issue is still present.
The software is on a almost constant reboot cycle, restarting every 45-60 seconds. The dealer said that the OS is up to date.
