We Supplied the CUE Screen for Flying Wheels' Cadillac Escalade Rebuild

Craig Stowell, the auto vlogger behind Flying Wheels, picked up a Cadillac Escalade that most buyers had already written off, a cheap one, in rough shape, and set out to bring it back to life piece by piece. When his rebuild reached the CUE touchscreen, we sent him a Cuescreens replacement to get it done.

Like a lot of Escalades from this era, the factory screen had the same failure points we talk about constantly: cracking, delamination, ghost touching, or a display that just would not respond the way it used to. Instead of a costly dealer swap, Craig installed a Cuescreens digitizer replacement as part of the build.

Why the Screen Matters in a Build Like This

An Escalade restoration is about more than the way it looks. The CUE screen controls climate, navigation, backup camera display, and infotainment. A build can look flawless from the outside, but a cracked or unresponsive touchscreen undercuts the whole experience the second you sit in the driver's seat. Fixing the digitizer, not the entire head unit, kept the original radio and electronics in place while restoring full touch function.

Fixing Your Own Cadillac CUE Screen

If your Cadillac Escalade, ATS, CTS, SRX, or XTS is dealing with the same CUE screen issues Craig ran into, cracked glass, ghost touching, delamination, or a screen that has stopped responding altogether, you do not need to replace the entire module. Cuescreens makes a direct-fit CUE touchscreen digitizer replacement designed to restore full function while keeping your original radio and electronics intact.
