Hi Bryan
I ended up getting a replacement unit. My problem got to the point where it was constantly flickering. Unichip was pretty good about it. I paid for return shipping.
Good news and bad news though. The new unit is much much better, but the problem is still there. Only happens on 4 out of 10 drives. And now mostly happens when in Idrive screen not carplay as much. Crazy!
My latest theory....
When it flickers, if I gently force the screen towards the closed position. It stops the flickering.
I suspect it's a wiring issue but have reinstalled and wriggled the cables many times now. Can't get it to repeat when I'm testing. Only when I drive.
My fear is that there is a degraded wire or connection in the oringal cable set going to the screen, likely at the screen connection point. I just can't get to it without taking the dash and vents out. Im too scared about doing that for breaking some plastic part, or worse, rattles after. I'm very presious about my rattles!
But... I think I will have to do it soon.
Yours sounds like it's nowhere near the level of frequency as mine was. But I get it, once you know it's there....
