UConnect 8.4 Delamination FIX!! - Dodge Chrysler Jeep

[@dustynias]

"101.1 -- THE ROCK STATION" Cheers from a former Central Floridian. Thanks for saving me $1200 that the stealership said was the only option. What a joke - known issue yet they don't have a defect to cover it. Hell mine was under warranty and was a lease and still they did nothing.

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

Absolutely I am happy I could help, and I’m really sorry I didn’t see this sooner! Hearing comments like yours is what makes making these videos worth it. Sending love back from the Sunshine State 🤙🏼

[@jesseheim3088]

I just repaired the radio today in my Dodge Ram today without removing the radio from the vehicle. The easiest way to remove the digitizer from the display is to use a piece of fishing line. First remove the metal cover, and then you can start on the top left edge and gently work the fishing line down through the display slowing sawing through the glue. Just be careful at the bottom center of the digitizer as that is where the connection is. Use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean up the glue, which is by far the longest part of this process. After everything is cleaned up, I used some clear double sided gorilla tape around the edge of the digitizer and cut of any excess tape. Once all four sides are taped up, remove the protective coating on the tape and attach the digitizer to the screen.

[@jrudny8606]

Hoping you can help me understand what the purpose of the double sided gorilla tape is for? Seems like the black outer frame / casing would hold the digitizer in place. Let me know if that step is necessary as it is not mentioned in the original video. Thank you in advance!

[@jdgrady04]

Thank you so much for this, man. My fiancé's Jeep Cherokee has been going absolutely nuts with the ghost touching to the point you had to just cut the screen off. No radio, no climate controls, nothing. I watched your videos and read just about every comment and got the nerve up to try this myself. Especially after researching radio replacement and/or repairing costs, it was a no brainer to give it shot. It was a long, tedious process but as long as you take your time, it can be done. The digitizer and screen were both covered in the glue so I had to clean both. I used double sided Gorilla tape cut in thin strips to "replace" the glue around the digitizer. I could probably replace to digitizer just because it has a bit of a hazy look to it now and I rubbed a little too hard on one portion of the screen so it looks a little red when it is turned off. But when the unit is on, the hazy digitizer and the red portion of the screen are hardly noticeable. It's been over two weeks since I repaired it and have not had any problems at all. You have not only saved me quite a bit of money but possibly saved my relationship as we had a five hour drive together in her Jeep just a couple days following the repair! It has worked flawlessly since. Thanks again and have a merry Christmas!

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

If I could give you a hug I would. I’m very thankful to hear such kind words from you, hearing that this worked for you only makes me happier. Don’t worry about the hazy digitizer mine is the same, it was noticeable at first but overtime I can’t even tell anymore. Merry Christmas to you guys and happy new year from the The Hands On Gang 🤙🏼

[@MUFCXI]

Hey man when using the double sided gorilla tape is there a noticeable gap? When placing the parts back is it easy to “tap” or do you have to press hard a bit if there’s a gap between the digitizer and the screen with the double sided gorilla tape?

[@jdgrady04]

@@MUFCXI There is a gap but it's not too much larger than the original one created by the glue. The touch screen works just as it did before, no hard pressing needed.

I just finished removing goo on my Uconnect 8.4 on my 2018 Ram and thanks to you and a couple other great KZbin videos it appears to have worked, I have a functioning radio now. BIG THANK YUO. Took me around 4 hours. My RAM has a middle console so I needed to remove 3 screws to slightly move it out of the way to remove front panel to get to radio. Getting rid of goo was very troublesome, I used a mixed of Goo Gone combined with alcohol and then rubbed it in circular motions. I made sure to give it a final cleanup with alcohol only. Dealer had quoted me $1,200 approx.

Good luck to anyone trying this method.

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

Obviously this is a method you would be doing at you’re own risk. They use a glue inbetween the digitizer and the lcd screen and once that starts leaking from between them that’s when all he’ll brakes loose. I’m assuming you need a new digitizer or.. try cleaning the male end of the connector and the female end.. a little bit of that glue gets in there and I would assume you could lose complete function of the touch portion of your radio I’m sorry your first shot at it didn’t go so well. Either way if your faced with spending upwards of a $1000 bucks, I would like to think this is worth a shot for next to nothing! I haven’t had any issues since this video with my touch screen

Just watched your video this morning and I am done doing all the steps this afternoon with no problems with my 2018 Chrysler 300 head unit it is working fine now.. So the grease I think the reason it is there is a protective layer for the head unit. What I mean by this is if you live in a area with heat and humidity, the space between the head unit and the digitizer water cold form on those hot days in that space and then the water would fall into the head unit and in time rust or short it out. Same thing if you live in an area that is cold the water in the air could freeze then melt causing water damage to the head unit. But i think this would take time ..I hope a long time years..

I asked one tech at local fca dealership about this issue as my car (18 hellcat) just started having bubbles, mine is under warranty and i can get it replaced, but the problem is once my warranty expires and the replacement one starts to have this same issue. so he said its because of these units getting hot as they have no fans in there, the adhesive starts to dry off or shrink. one solution(not a proper solution tho) he recommended is to drill 2 small holes in your ac duct so that it can circulate air through the unit. or you can always do what this gentleman did in this video, just get rid of that weird adhesive. Its a shame that fca disowns this issue which is very common, there should be a recall !! awesome work !! thanks again.

And once their is a air bubble in between the screen n digi it creates a sorta hot spot which then causes the ghost touching ?

Please excuse me for asking what could be considered as a dumb question but what exactly did you do to repair this?

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

I put in the video what I used to mate the digitizer back to the radio/Lcd screen. The real real problem is that the digitizer is just overly sensitive. Once the glue starts leaking from the unit it makes the unit go nuts! I cleaned off all the glue and re-mated the digi back to the stereo and it nearly stopped all the issues I was having, and got rid of the giant bubble that took over half of the screen. Still on super hot days I do get some crazy behavior from the radio but nothing like it was before. That’s not a dumb question at all brother, and I hope this helps

[@PaulyG10657]

Question: Could a screen protector film be used on the display surface as a barrier between the digitizer glass and the display?

Exactly what I was thinking about to. Very good idea I think it’s worth a shot, once getting rid of the nasty glue maybe a iPad type screen protector inbetween the digi and lcd screen would really help it out.

Did you end up getting a new digitizer or did you clean the existing one you have? I’m gonna be doing this project soon. Stupid delaminating hit my wifes uconnect. Edit: sorry but after cleaning off the goo on the screen how did you apply the digitizer back on to make it stick?

Nope I just cleaned the old one and re-used it. I have a part 2 three week update video I made to show how it turned out if you wanted to check that out. I just used some double sided scotch adhesive and just went around the outer lip and re-mounted it back on top of the screen. Hope this helps 🤙🏼

If you cant remove both sides of the ribbon cable and just replace the cable I believe yeah you’ll need to get a new digi. I didn’t replace mine only cause the specific model I have was kinda hard to locate.

[@ernestotorres6704]

Does this fix the screen pushing buttons as well? Ive been reading some of the comments but cant seem to find the answer.

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

It should that’s specifically why I made the video commonly known as “ghost touching”

[@bluesteve1]

Did this and ended up disconnecting the ribbon connect from the digitizer and the little black wire that goes from the screen to the bracket and now my touch screen doesn’t work but everything can be seen on the radio. I’m going to order a new digitizer since that’s still cheaper in the long run am see if that lets the touch screen work again. My question is how important is that black wire that goes to the frame(bezel) cause I have no way of reattaching it since it looks like it would need to be soldered

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

I believe that individual little black wire that kinda clips/plugs in it the antenna ? Don’t quote me on that, if it is the antenna then the only thing is ur radio won’t be able to pickup stations. You might be able to glue it with some crazy glue depending on how it broke. You only want the glue around it while pushing it down not under it, just around the edges and it should be fine. Hope this helps 🤙🏼

[@matthewknab5432]

Thanks so much for this video! I bought my Charger used in February of this past year, and now i'm getting the beginning signs of the bubbling in the upper left hand corner. I'm trying to figure out if i should attempt this during the summer or wait until it gets cooler out. Right now i don't have any ghost touches luckily, just the bubble at the moment. My one question is that if i just put the adhesive around the sides where the black border is, i would assume the digitizer would rest against the screen. Is that a problem? I had read elsewhere that they shouldn't physically touch. I guess if using double sided tape would lift it up higher, but then i could see the digitizer getting bent towards the screen with touches. I'm also trying to find the right digitzer for my radio which has the same ribbon cable as yours (just in case), but i can only find 1 on ebay for $138. Have you had any luck finding the one for yours?

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

You’ve brought up some great questions, Me personally I didn’t touch my stereo until it started ghost touching and literally just going bananas, I’d have to drive around with the radio off the whole time cause it was so bad, couldn’t listen to music or anything. My opinion I wouldn’t touch ur setup until it starts effecting it’s operation/performance if you know what I mean, the bubble is a eye sore for sure. So the black border actually keeps the digi at a distance automatically it never touches the screen, but you are correct if I were to press hard enough on my digi it does in fact bend and touch the lcd screen but the digit is stronger then you think it takes a pretty firm press to get it to flex to that point. When put back together after removing the gel it sits in the exact spot it did from factory minus the glue inbetween. I did not buy a new digi because as you were saying they are kinda hard to find that exact model with the 2 big ribbon cables like that.

[@matthewknab5432]

@@TheHandsOnGang561 Thanks for responding! Good to know, mine is still in the beginning stages, looks dumb but not affecting the radio yet.

I was pumped after seeing this video as well. I am writing this because I am in the same situation as all of you and it's not good. I have already replaced the LCD unit (digitizer glass installed) twice due to this problem. I bought both of them from Factory Radio Repairs. The first one delaminated within 2 weeks and they exchanged it. Cost me $460 and the worry of taking the trim on and off since the clips have a tendency to break. Got the second one and it was even worse. It delaminated within a few days. They refused to cover replacement. Said they didn't cover that because it was a manufacturer's defect. Now they sell that for $690. Buyer beware. This is a HUGE problem that Dodge refuses to address. Seats start to heat on their own, attempted SOS calls, buttons all over the place. In my mind, this is a dangerous situation. So now I have the old unit that's delaminated and the new unit that is delaminated. So I do exactly what The Hands On Gang does, get it all cleaned up, looks great, and reinstall it. No luck, unfortunately. Does the same thing and worse I think. What a mess to pay so much for a really nice car to have this problem. Good luck to the rest of you. We need a class action lawsuit is what we need. Now I'm trying to figure out if the digitizer glass was bad on both units or what??

@The Hands On Gang - UPDATE!! It worked! Thanks, guys. My wife told me a day after I had done the work that the radio was working great. I wanted to wait at least a week before reporting back that the technique was successful! I can only figure that the acetone, alcohol, and Sprayway glass cleaner must have finally completely out-gassed leaving a minute air gap between the LCD and the digitizer glass. No ghosting, no changing stations, no on/off heated seats (thank goodness), and no SOS attempted calls. Just normal operation. Since I fixed the original, now I have the new one that I bought, LCD display and digitizer screen leftover, sitting in a box. It still needs to be cleaned. If someone needs it and wants to clean it up I would gladly sell it for half of what I paid for it. Other than that I'll keep it as a spare. THANKS AGAIN!!!

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

Yes ur gonna spray it on and wipe all of it off the lcd screen get all of the sticky glue off.. also on the back of the digitizer it has to be cleaned off as well.. then mount it back on using which ever preferred adhesive and bam! Hope this helps you enjoy your radio and car again.

Happened to mind few months ago. Maybe due to heat on inside of the car.

I tried this and I think in the process I cracked my actual screen. Now I’m big sad because I placed it back, and I got no more ghost touching, but I can’t even see the screen anymore 😂😂

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

Imfao oh no!! The screens aren’t super expensive compared to what it cost to get this fixed at Chrysler so you should make out ok even so 🙏🏼

@@TheHandsOnGang561 I can’t find any! I’m only finding full radio sets or digitizers. Would you happen to have a link?

At my dealership it will cost me $2,500 to replace the whole screen. It’s not under warranty! Shame on you Dodge and Chrysler!

[@TheHandsOnGang561]

Yeah dude it’s a sad realization that’s why I made the video, help ease that burn dodge gives ya. Hope this helped 🙏🏼
