GM introduced the Mylink (Chevrolet) a.k.a Intellilink (GMC and Buick) infotainment systems to its brands in 2012. This new advanced system combines WiFi, Bluetooth and online app services that users can control through an optional 4.3" or 8" display. It also integrates with OnStar and other GM premium services.
In this article, we will show you how to disassemble and replace the touchscreen on your Mylink or Intellilink with 8 inch Touchscreen systems. GM uses two different touchscreen types depending on the screen assembly setup:
Type 1
Chevrolet GMC Mylink Intellilink 8" Capacitive Touchscreen | Factory Radio Repairs
or
Type 2
Chevrolet GMC Mylink 8 inch Resistive Replacement Touchscreen | Factory Radio Repairs
We will focus on a screen assembly out of a GMC Sierra which has the Type 2 touchscreen mentioned above.
When repairing a radio, we highly recommend that you keep all the screws safe in one area! We recommend a small cup or bowl.
