Factory-new, VIN-programmed Global B CSM replacement modules for your 2021–2024 Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV. Plug-and-play installation — no dealer visit, no programming appointment, no downtime.
Is Your Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV Infotainment System Failing?
The 2021–2024 Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV is built on GM’s T1 platform. While it’s a capable luxury full-size SUV, the infotainment system — powered by the Global B CSM — 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 Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV 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.

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 Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV — including trim-specific features like navigation, CUE, and connected services.

Matched to your exact vehicle
📦 Plug & Play
Self-install in 20–40 minutes

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 Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV 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 Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV
Replacing your module is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your Cadillac Escalade / Escalade ESV’s infotainment capabilities:
- Illuminated grille upgrade kit (2025–2026) — Pre-configured and programmed to your VIN
- Steering wheel upgrades — Pre-configured and programmed to your VIN
