Had the delaminating issue, bought a new digitizer, and went through the change process. After reinstall, the image looked like a cracked screen. However, took out and checked connections, including ribbon cables. Then I remounted and now have lots of stripes. (see pic) In some places, I can see parts of images (time, volume, edge of rear cam), but not all of any image.

When I press the screen (digitizer) in the right spots from my memory, the radio responds correctly (at least in basic functions).

Just in case, I did disconnect the battery and waited a while, but it did not change anything.

Any ideas on what to do or check next? (Thanks in advance)

That's a messed up screen for sure. I don't get how these keep screwing up for people, the tech has been used in the vehicles for over a decade now. Must be cheaping out on something. I have one that's at least 11 years old in pretty much continuous operation and it's great, albeit with older software. Watch, now that I said something mine is gonna go t!ts up.
