Success! It took me an hour and 45 minutes, but I was super careful with everything and had zero problems. No strips, slips, cracked clips, or dropped/lost screws at the end of the project. I was afraid to do it for all this time for just that reason. I usually can’t get through one of these projects without damaging or losing something important. But this tutorial was impeccable. I’m so happy to be able to pair my new phone, and have the correct time in my car after 10 months of the screen being broken. I just assumed it was going to cost hundreds to fix. I spent about $55 on Amazon for the replacement screen. I had not a single problem throughout the entire process. I also had a cell phone repair kit at my disposal: that made the delicate handling of the clips and cables much easier. Thanks again…You rock!

I did 1 google search for this and your video came up. This is a perfect tutorial on how to do this. I need to do this on my mother’s car, because the touch screen sometimes but barely works and also beeps and it’s driving her crazy. I’m guessing this is the best way to do it simply because a new radio would be crazy expensive and would probably require some kind of dealer programming. Thanks for sharing.

Just wanted to reach out and say thank you for this video about the Chevy Sonic Touchscreen radio replacement. We bought a 2016 Sonic and the Touchscreen didn't work and found this video you did. Followed it to a T and now the radio Touchscreen works!!! Thank you!!!

Soooo helpful. I only replaced the digitizer itself -- not the LCD -- and this video helped me achieve 90% success, with the other 10% just being common sense (the removal of the bad digitizer from the original LCD, and the reinstallation of the new digitizer onto it). In the end, with your help and great video zoom-ins/commentary, it came out like right from the factory. SO helpful. Thank you!!

Thank you.. I was just about to spend $500 on a replacement radio until I saw this video. Ordered a replacement screen ($50 on amazon) and followed your video to replace it. All be it, there was a couple points that were not covered, I was able to easily figure it out. The new screen takes a little longer to come to life by a few seconds but works well once up and running. The kit came with a replacement ribbon, which I think was to replace the one ribbon which seemed to be a lot longer than the one on my original screen. I assembled with the longer one only because I didn't put 2 and 2 together until afterwards. I decided I wasn't going to go backwards and undo what I had already accomplished, so I assembled with the longer one making sure not to pinch it during assembly. I saw in your video that your kit also had the ribbon I'm referring to, but you didn't address it. Anyway, the radio is now working and I am a happy camper for now. Time will tell if it will hold up. Thanks again!!

What search terms did you use? When I tried to find it on Amazon nothing quite right is showing up

If you search for the screen usually you can type exactly what you need depending on the vehicle year make model etc. For example 2013 chevy sonic screen in ebay or Amazon etc. It typically comes as just a screen and you re-use the original housing

Appreciate the video and teaching! A Sonic I'm selling was purchased with this radio issue and the heat and other troubleshooting solved nothing. Only thing I would do differently is reapply some sort of adhesive as the top corners of the radio push backwards into the unit when pressure is applied and I imagine the adhesive that was there prior prevented this.

I just replaced mine thanks to you making this video!! Only thing, I ordered the screen you showed on eBay and mine didn’t have an adhesive strip. So, the screen moves a little when you push the screen, will that be ok?
@superiorautomechanic

It should've had an adhesive strip but typically it should be ok as long as the screen is never pressed on too firmly

I did everything as instructed but when I turn the car on the screen goes white. The radio turns on but the screen won’t come in
My car has had this issue for a year now and i have only the generic channels considering it is frozen. When the car was bought 4-5 years ago the backup cam was not working do you think this will fix that also?
@superiorautomechanic

Typically the backup camera can be a bad connection in the trunk or a faulty camera.

In the very beginning when he said “disconnect the battery” did he mean disconnect the car battery ? Or just make sure the car is turned off

Typically when you work on anything electrical in a car you would want to disconnect the car Battery itself so you don't blow any fuses or short any computers etc.

I have a 2015 Sonic that I just paid to hav a factory screen put in n now it says it's locked?? Is there a way of unlocking it besides paying the Chev service tech $200 to diagnose it and waiting til August. I'm 73 yrs old n on a fixed income - I've put almost $4K in repairs in the 3 weeks I've had it!!

Did they provide you with any manuals or a security card. Typically they should unless it was a used radio then you can see if the seller had the security pin or try disconnecting the battery for 30 mins and see if that will reset it.

It's not too much depending on where your located but if you know what your doing you can replace the screen in about an hour and a half to 2 hours total time.
