2013-17 Cadillac CUE Screen Replacement: Fix Cracked and Unresponsive Touch Screens

If you drive a 2013-2017 Cadillac, chances are you’ve had a love-hate relationship with your CUE (Cadillac User Experience) infotainment system. It’s sleek and high-tech, but over time, it’s notorious for developing some frustrating issues. Got a spiderweb crack or find yourself tapping furiously on a screen that refuses to respond? You are not alone.

You don't have to live with a broken dashboard, and you certainly don't need to pay dealership prices to fix it. Here is everything you need to know about getting your CUE system back to perfect working order.

The Problem: Why Is My CUE Screen Acting Up?

The most common issues with the Cadillac CUE system usually involve the touchscreen hardware rather than the software. Owners frequently report:

  • Delamination and Cracking: The gel between the screen layers can dry out or fail, causing the screen to bubble, peel, or develop spiderweb cracks.
  • Unresponsive Touch: You press a button, and nothing happens - or worse, the system registers phantom touches where it thinks you are pressing buttons when you aren't.
  • Dead Zones: Specific parts of the screen stop working entirely.

These problems can stem from various issues, but they all point to the same solution - touchscreen replacement.

Repair Options: Dealer vs. DIY vs. Aftermarket

When it’s time to fix the issue, you generally have three paths.

1. The Dealership Route - This is the most expensive option. A dealer replacement can cost thousands of dollars and may require leaving your vehicle at the shop for days. The high cost and inconvenience often turns folks away.

2. Cheap Aftermarket Units - You might find low-cost generic replacements online, but be careful. These units often lack the features you rely on and may not integrate correctly with your Cadillac’s electrical system. Compatibility problems can lead to power drains, electrical glitches, or features like steering wheel controls not working properly. Plus, installing a generic part can hurt your vehicle's resale value.

3. Professional Remanufactured Replacement - This is where ISS Automotive comes in. The OEM-quality CUE system screen repair we offer means your system will fit and function exactly like the original part, and installation is straightforward.
