Great weekly fix of sarcasm! Oh and great fix as always. Have a good weekend Scott. Best wishes to you,the pizza girl and the painting gnomes from here in the UK 🇬🇧
Can't thank you enough for this clear concise video. I'm 71 years old and haven't done auto work in years and never interior. Replaced the CUE in my wife's low millage 2014 XTS. Even interior colors were the same as in ur video. Works like a charm now. Two thumbs up!
I swapped the screen with a really nice reproduction. I watched A LOT of videos here on UA-cam until I had the confidence I could do it. $130, 1.5 years ago. Works perfectly. Thanks for the video.
Thanks UPFIX! 😊 I resoldered my S10 abs module, but hood to know there are companies fixing stuff like this...saves money and reduces E-waste as well. Nice.
@@upfixauto I checked out your website. You repair lots of auto and industrial control boards, Man you fix appliance circuit boards too! I am in Canada, and I sent one from our clothes washer to the USA for repair a few years ago.. it was still cheaper than a new board, even with the shipping.
I've got their website saved for the next time I need one of those repairs. Finding folks who will do those fixes for a reasonable cost and with a warranty is worth a lot. Thanks Scott!
You can buy just the screen for about $100, but the black is a little different than the rest of the radio. It’s about $160 for the proper blue-black, and the screen replacement takes 1-2 hours depending on skill. If you’re not confident in your skills a repair service may be a good idea.
I did this last year. Works better than the original screen and waaaay easier than taking the whole system out. Also the new screen doesn’t have the gel in it so it should be less prone to failure.
Nice repair! They sure did over complicate that, they could’ve easily just had a simple bezel around the unit that popped out and exposed screws holding it in… but the dealers get paid more labour this way having to take half the dash apart and it prevents owners from fixing it themselves.
Having to tear half the dash apart also prevents thieves from breaking open cars and stripping all the expensive bits from the interior in 5-10 minutes while the car is on the driveway, like what happens with BMWs and Audis where it's much easier to take em apart (at least here in Europe there's actual gangs that do that)
I find the ingenuity and designs of all the tabs and slots and Velcro® and just popping and slapping the parts into the position in which a different engineer-slash-designer created - is amazing. Kinda like a giant 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle married a Rubik's Cube and their offspring became a Cadillac. Is every new car just slap-pop-jam it together? I love the sound of ripping Velcro® in the morning.
Cadillac.. enough said.. the GM test platform for all the "cool" gadgets. How long they work is anyones guess. You never fail Scott. Have a great weekend. Stay safe and be well.
As a result of seeing this video I sent my dishwasher circuit board to you for a repair on 3-8-22, just checked, FedEX has delayed it getting to you until 3-14-22, I hope it isn't lost. That's on a 2-day ship. I'm a little concerned as the board is no longer available.
First incomplete rebuild I have seen from Scott! You forgot to re-install the Dr Pepper... I am so disappointed. Another great video from "The Land of Rust and Corruption!!
Scott, I am glad you had a good experience with UpFix. I had them repair an electric range cooktop controller motherboard. I found they are only limited to replacing the relays and capacitors. That is what they call a repair service, and they sent me back the controller board and it still did not work. I sent it back a second time, to give them a second shot at it, and when they returned it back to me again, they told me they were unable to repair the problem and told me the diagnosed problem was that the EEPROM chip had lost its programming, and they do not have the ability to reprogram it. I thought they should have known that outcome the first time they had the board and I was dissappointed that I lost out on two Shipping charges and ended up where I started, with a dead board. To this day, I am not certain they weren't the ones who fried the eeprom chip. Ebay came through, and I found another board which worked and fixed my problem. Many older electronics die, and the "easy" and usual fix is to replace all the relays and capacitors. That UpFix route did not work out for me.
Interesting. So you're saying they didn't test their "fix" the first time? That's not right. Although how does a firm like this "test" electronics like automotive engine computers, ABS modules, and radios without having the exact car to put them back into? How do they really know what they are "repairing" has been done correctly?
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists They can test voltages to see if the circuits are repaired, and can test if correct voltage is flowing through the board. Usually High voltage will be what comes into the item, 110 or 220v, and low voltages range from 12v, 5v and 3.3v, depending what part they are working on, and I was told my the voltages were reading correctly, upon the second return. I don't see how. After the part was returned the first time, it still had no low voltage. My cooktop has a fan that comes on only when a built in heat sensor detects and hits a set temp, usually when the enclosed cabinet gets warm. The second time it was returned, the item allowed a voltage leak which caused the fan to spin at an extremely slow rpm, which should not have taken place. If the board's eeprom had not lost it's programming, their repair service would likely have worked for me...but just know with electronics, sometimes the type of repair services out there will not always be able to repair a part, depending what components have failed. The issue I had, is their communication was not adequate and when I sent the board back in, it took them 3 days to find it, after they told me that it was lost...which was concerning. I had taken pics of both sides of my controller board, before sending it to them, each time. A manager, Anthony, told me the board had severe damage. I asked him to send me a picture of the damage, because the board I sent in did NOT have any apparent damage which he was claiming mine had, when I sent it in. Turns out the board he sent me the pic of, which was supposed to be my board, was an entirely different controller board - not even the same model as mine. I sent him my pics, to prove to him he was not accurate. His reply a few days later was that the tech had sent him a pic of a different board by accident, that they have found my board, and that they could not repair it and they eventually returned it back to me. Like I said in the prior post, I ended up finding another working board off of ebay. In no way am I knocking the service UpFix offers, as illustrated, Scott had a great outcome with getting his part repaired, and he seems to use them with no issues. I happen to be the one example where there was not a favorable outcome.
@@nealnaz Makes sense, sounds complicated due to how complex these electronics are. I would be wary sending in electronics due to loss in transit OR at the facility. I had a hell of a time sending in an iRobot Roomba last year for warranty repair. I was told turnaround time would be 7-10 days and then it morphed into 2 months at the snap of the finger. I think they lied to me just to get me to send it in. But 2 months later I had a newer model refurbished iRobot, and I have no idea if that was done by mistake or what, but I didn't complain any further, lol. Also strangely enough were 2 loose batteries flopping around in the box. The iRobot already had a battery in it, and then an identical "spare" battery was in the box in addition to another Roomba battery that was for an entirely different model. I have no idea what the hell was happening there.
Your right calling it a rattlelac. I've owned four . Never again ! At one time they were number one in luxury car. Since1980 on they have become Crapalacs . Good to see you as usual.
@@matthewtaylor3308 Yea, because everyone talks about the super reliable 8-6-4 engine and the awesome 4100 HT engine, and lets not forget the Northstar engine.
I need to swap out mine with my spare. I’ve been putting this off due to the sheer amount of nonsense it takes for the R&R. Thanks for the step by step!
Even though you kinda stumbled through this. This was by far an easier way then taking the entire center console apart piece by piece like everyone else shows.. If you able to do this much yourself though it’s faster and easier to just get a better screen from quescreen for $150 and install it on the unit.. it’s just the crappy gel digitizer they use that fails cause of heat and drying out. No need to send out the entire unit or replace it.. it’s only the digitizer that is the issue..
Great Job as always Scott. How long did the whole process take from the time you took the broken unit out to getting it back in your hands? Thanks again for sharing.
Great link for your watchers Scott! And I am glad you got a "sponsor" to help pay the way. Always enjoy your rebuilds and repairs, but this type was just a little "not much". But great for guys that can use that service. Thanks for sharing! Stay well! Rich
I am amazed that everything just clips and screws in place. Usually you have to replace a couple of clips that are contrary but it works . Enjoyed the repair with no body work. Keep it up..fix
Here's a tip if you're buying a used Cadillac with this style of screen: make sure ALL of the touchscreen is working. When I got my ELR most of the touch screen worked fine except for a small spot. I accidentally set the sound to come out of the left speakers only and couldn't change it back because the area to set it to where it was didn't respond.
Watch the video and got excited about upfix because I need my instrument cluster repaired, Out of the thousands of cars listed that they repair..mine is the one that's missing. Sadness!
Hi from uk scott👋👍 nice to see you navigated your way round this one, always enjoy your content no matter what 👍loved the glove box button and centre door and hazards button laugh bits today 😂😂 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon👍👋
that is the second HIM system I've seen replaced in a week on You tube. I didn't know they fail so often. I'm not complaining just something to tell the wife the next time she wishes she had a new car with one. For me a 20 year old car is just fine. Thanks Scott for the video and the referral to upfix I have a radio and cassette player not working right in my 85 park ave. Oh shoot they don't repair stuff from cars that old. LOL
That was interesting and different to your usual repairs. The R & R was a lot of work. It would be interesting to know how many hours work the R & R took and the cost of the repair to the unit.
I just upgraded to an android headunit with touch screen. It became unresponsive after a week. I just removed the battery to have it reset itself and it worked.
You take a lot of care to make sure everything goes back ie clips and screws. I'll bet the dealer service dept doesn't take so much care and the car will have squeaks and rattles from that day on. Nice video.
2007 Buick Lucerne radio/HVAC removal: one trim piece and seven small screws. Cadillac engineers in 2013, "Let make 'em pull the whole car apart to remove the radio!"
Scott, at first, I thought you were going to get out your soldering iron and microscope, and dive into the electronic guts of that part. Wait until the electric vehicles arrive - the entire car will be like that. You will have to ground the car before you work on it. NICE JOB!
Great Job Sir. This video will probably get 60 million views over the next 3 years..... this is going to be a REAL problem, as the Platinum warranties expire.... I had to send my instrument cluster out, in my 2004 Escalade.... Turns out, you can drive the car just fine without it. Even the cruise works! Of course, for any law enforcement members seeing this, I DID NOT do that.... No way would I drive a truck with no instruments for 10 days... come on now.... Ahhh, the XTS... Always sort of wanted one. Remember when they assured us this was NOT the replacement for the Fleetwood/DeVille size cars?? And the big one was coming?? With a V8??? Ahhh, good times!!!! Ahhh yes. Now all the hotels, and casinos, and livery services, are all buying LS 460's.... With proper V8's in them. What's more American than a Lexus??? Not much, apparently..... Town Car? Fleetwood? DTS? Uhhh, no, no, and no.... Yeah, our friends at GM have a REAL high opinion of that system.... The cost of doing that at a dealership, is way more than the Platinum warranty costs...... So.... Yeah... Anyways, great job on this one.
I replaced the Cue screen in my Escalade. It would ghost scroll and randomly be unresponsive. It wasn’t too bad of a job. Just had to be brave while disassembling the unit 😂.
3:28 whoa, you almost beaned yourself in the noodle lol.....I shouldn't talk, I punched myself in the nose yesterday lol....(I was pulling up the blanket and my 17 lbs cat jumped off suddenly lol)
My daughter's 2014 Toyota Corolla Sport with Navigation had the same problem. Toyota wanted $7000 to replace her radio. Yes 7k not 700. Thanks to the UA-cam World, $50 and a hour of my time. It works just find now. Strange thing is, the local dealership never hear of it before. Yea right I was born yesterday, I think I was. Well my wife does anyway. Because she says I act like a baby or look like one. At 40 something, I take it as a good comment. lol
Nice work, but this is why I still drive a 71 nova. It's a car and it drives, what else do I need it to do, I don't need my but warmed, or where I'm at on a map, the temp outside, my mirror deiced, I can open my own glove box, slide the seat, check my tire pressure, roll the window down, adjust the mirror, lock the door, open the trunk, look in the mirror, put my seat belt on, turn my head lights on/off, and keep track of when to change my oil, and the radio still works lol. Cars today have way too much plastic and gadgets. $1900.00 new in 1971 and if you use an inflation calculator that would be $13,189.66 in today's money, still a deal.
Once they receive your part, they will run diagnostic tests to identify the problem. After they have determined what is wrong, they will reset or rebuild it and send it back to you within 24 hours. Have questions? You can contact them anytime!
Funny thing is...most radios with knobs and buttons rarely had no response issues like this...plus knobs and buttons are easier to operate while driving...most time by touch you know where your fingers are and what button or control your hunting for. Never been a fan of touchscreens in automobiles for the in car entertainment.

Just curious, why the clown comment?

Props to UpFix for sponsoring your video. Sad day for that Cadillac owner who found out his "quality vehicle" really isn't.
It is 7/8 years old. It has 30k miles on it. The touch screen broke because it was bored.

$35 for the screen 1 hour labor
Careful at min 6:00, easy to crack the RH side aluminum looking bezel, do do pry on it until center console has been pulled back at least an inch. 🤙🏽

My 2020 escalade platinum just had the same system replaced at the dealer . Now my onstar is telling me the 2020 escalade is a 2019 tahoe 😳
I also identify as a 2019 Tahoe.
Great work
Insane process. About ten times more complicated than removing the unit from an ATS. And I thought the ATS was bad......
I think many of us, including myself, would have liked to know what actually broke on the Cue system and what upfix did to repair it.
Would be interesting, but for $60 and a one year warranty...
That car has soooooo many features that would break on me if I owned it.
So if the repair fails after you pay the money, does this mean you're SCR-CUE-ed? Sorry couldn't resist the pun. Thanks for the video.

I had to send my instrument cluster out, in my 2004 Escalade.... Turns out, you can drive the car just fine without it. Even the cruise works! Of course, for any law enforcement members seeing this, I DID NOT do that.... No way would I drive a truck with no instruments for 10 days... come on now....
Ahhh, the XTS... Always sort of wanted one. Remember when they assured us this was NOT the replacement for the Fleetwood/DeVille size cars?? And the big one was coming?? With a V8??? Ahhh, good times!!!!
Ahhh yes. Now all the hotels, and casinos, and livery services, are all buying LS 460's.... With proper V8's in them. What's more American than a Lexus??? Not much, apparently..... Town Car? Fleetwood? DTS? Uhhh, no, no, and no....
Yeah, our friends at GM have a REAL high opinion of that system.... The cost of doing that at a dealership, is way more than the Platinum warranty costs...... So.... Yeah...
Anyways, great job on this one.
I replaced the Cue screen in my Escalade. It would ghost scroll and randomly be unresponsive. It wasn’t too bad of a job. Just had to be brave while disassembling the unit 😂.
Good job 👍
3:28 whoa, you almost beaned yourself in the noodle lol.....I shouldn't talk, I punched myself in the nose yesterday lol....(I was pulling up the blanket and my 17 lbs cat jumped off suddenly lol)
Great video...GM engineers must stay up at night trying to figure out how to make repairs as hard as possible.
I have a 2019 like this its a wonderful car
Oh my god cadi. Why make it so easy!
My daughter's 2014 Toyota Corolla Sport with Navigation had the same problem. Toyota wanted $7000 to replace her radio. Yes 7k not 700. Thanks to the UA-cam World, $50 and a hour of my time. It works just find now. Strange thing is, the local dealership never hear of it before. Yea right I was born yesterday, I think I was. Well my wife does anyway. Because she says I act like a baby or look like one. At 40 something, I take it as a good comment. lol
Another great video.
Nice work, but this is why I still drive a 71 nova. It's a car and it drives, what else do I need it to do, I don't need my but warmed, or where I'm at on a map, the temp outside, my mirror deiced, I can open my own glove box, slide the seat, check my tire pressure, roll the window down, adjust the mirror, lock the door, open the trunk, look in the mirror, put my seat belt on, turn my head lights on/off, and keep track of when to change my oil, and the radio still works lol. Cars today have way too much plastic and gadgets. $1900.00 new in 1971 and if you use an inflation calculator that would be $13,189.66 in today's money, still a deal.
I wonder what the turnaround time is for their repairs.
Once they receive your part, they will run diagnostic tests to identify the problem. After they have determined what is wrong, they will reset or rebuild it and send it back to you within 24 hours. Have questions? You can contact them anytime!
Thank you
Nice job, well done. On a side note where is Pizza Girl ?
Thanks for the tip about upfix
Funny thing is...most radios with knobs and buttons rarely had no response issues like this...plus knobs and buttons are easier to operate while driving...most time by touch you know where your fingers are and what button or control your hunting for. Never been a fan of touchscreens in automobiles for the in car entertainment.
Thanks this video saved me +2k dollars! Does anyone have problems with the glove box not opening? Any videos on that?
Great video
Scott The one thing I was wondering was if they actually tell you what was wrong i.e. factory design defect or manufacturing defect ?
