Factory-new, VIN-programmed HMI replacement modules for your 2016–2019 Chevrolet Cruze. Plug-and-play installation — no dealer visit, no programming appointment, no downtime.
Is Your Chevrolet Cruze Infotainment System Failing?
The 2016–2019 Chevrolet Cruze is built on GM’s D2XX platform. While it’s a capable compact sedan / hatchback, the infotainment system — powered by the HMI — is a known failure point. These modules process every interaction with your touchscreen, navigation, backup camera, Bluetooth, and connected phone services. When the module fails, you lose access to all of it.
If your Chevrolet Cruze is showing any of the symptoms below, you’re almost certainly dealing with a failing infotainment module — not a fuse issue, not a software glitch, and not something a dealer software update will fix permanently.

⚠️ MyLink screen goes completely black

Why Replace Your Module with WAMS?
White Automotive & Media Services (WAMS) is not a parts reseller. Every module is sourced as brand-new OEM GM hardware, then custom-programmed to your exact VIN before it ships. That means your replacement arrives with the correct software version, calibration files, and feature configuration for your specific Chevrolet Cruze — including trim-specific features like navigation, MyLink, and connected services.
✅ VIN-Programmed
Matched to your exact vehicle
📦 Plug & Play
Self-install in 20–40 minutes
🛡️ Factory New OEM
Not salvage or remanufactured
🔧 No Dealer Required
No programming appointment
WAMS vs. Dealership Replacement
Most GM dealers will charge $800 to $1,500+ for a module replacement — and that’s before the labor charge for programming. You’ll also wait for the part to arrive, schedule an appointment, and leave your Chevrolet Cruze at the dealer for hours or days. With WAMS, the module arrives pre-programmed and ready to install yourself. No appointment, no labor charge, no waiting.
WAMS vs. Salvage / Remanufactured Modules
Salvage modules pulled from wrecked vehicles are cheap for a reason — they carry the previous vehicle’s programming, may have hidden damage, and often fail again within months. Remanufactured modules are only marginally better. WAMS uses exclusively brand-new GM hardware with a full factory warranty. Every module is programmed fresh to your VIN.
Available Upgrades for Your Chevrolet Cruze
