If I had to guess, you are experiencing ghost touches from a screen in the first stages of delamination. I've successfully stopped these touches by improving the passive cooling thermal material inside the radio and adding cooling fans (~$30). Conversely, you can replace the screen ($150-$250).
Hmm. I've replaced the screen when I first put it in in October of last year. Bought it off Amazon and replaced myself. Could I have messed something up internally in the process or did I just buy a bad screen?

Could be the screen itself. DO you have any pictures of the back of the screen before installing?
I’ll look into getting a new one? No I do not
That's still one of the best mods i did on the wifes old 2019 Challenger SKB,adding 2 cooling fans to it.Thank you again for idea
After adding the fans,it never had the "black screen of death" again that the 2019 1320 Challengers are famous for

Yeah, I feel it actually improves performance. Always very snappy and responsive (also super cheap mod)!That's still one of the best mods i did on the wifes old 2019 Challenger SKB,adding 2 cooling fans to it.Thank you again for idea

Have a link to what you purchased?
I did the thermal sheet upgrade that you also recomended,and there was a noticable differance in how hot the radio felt to the touch after doing both your reconmended mods. Afterwards the radio never once had the black screen,which it had been doing fairly often on hot days up till then. If i'm pulling another head unit out to swap the screen on,it's also going to get both mods at the same time,as they appear to help keep the Dodge head units happier.

It's buried in other threads. I never actually made it it's own thing (but I should). I'm glad that it's more than my anecdotes on the benefits of it though!I did the thermal sheet upgrade that you also recomended,and there was a noticable differance in how hot the radio felt to the touch after doing both your reconmended mods.

I went looking for your thread on the mods,but can't seem to find it,if you can find it,i think you should link it to this thread,as it's a very good upgrade to do if you have the head unit out to replace the screen

Good looking out Brother!
It would be a very good thread if you did a write up seperately on your fan and thermal pad upgrades.I think you should do one,as i found it very informative and very helpful in fixing the screen in the wifes Challenger

@Mpgrimm2 did all the work for me already! But I take your point...I could easily take the cross reference he made and start a new thread.
I think a seperate thread with your pics and write up would go over good. I slipped up as i never took any pics of the fans i mounted in the Challenger when i installed them,and i probably should have,as the cars been sold,and i doubt i could talk the new owner into pulling the radio out to get a few pics now.
