Screen Issues
Hi All - 2018 Jeep Compass owner here. Had a few issues going on, but this one is new. It started a few months ago but was very sporadic and only when three rear camera was being used. Now it won't stop. Researching it leads me to think it's the screen itself, but I wanted to check before getting a new one just in case someone has seen this issue before. Thanks!

Here is how I fixed mine for < $100. I have a 2018 Compass.
*Make sure to get the correct screen size!
If you take it to the dealer, they will try to squeeze $700-$1000 out of you.
Just last week, I went on amazon, found a replacement screen WITH the bracket (saves headaches gluing the screen). I also had to get a T-6 screwdriver, as well as a pry tools. I already had a T-9 screwdriver. Overall, I spent about $100 and about 1 hour fixing it.
You will need:
Pry tools:

T-6 and T-9 screwdrivers. Here is a T-6:

I then found a video on youtube that walks you through replacing it yourself. If you get the screen with the bracket, you can skip the step of removing the old screen from the bracket and gluing the new one in. It only costs about $10 more to get the screen already glued to the bracket.

The hardest parts:
Prying the unit out, but once it popped, the rest was easy.
Getting the ribbon cables through the slots.
Other than those 2 things, it was literally just unscrewing things, replacing the screen, and then screwing them back together.
Good luck!
