Instrument Panel Dark!

Has anyone had their main instrument panel go completely dark on a 2020? I went into the display settings and cannot see anything to turn it back on. I tried the voice controls and asked to reset standard displays or turn central display on, all to no Avail. Any idea if this is some type of a setting?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Miraculously it fixed itself on Startup! Very strange.

You need the heads up display from this car installed STAT. Long youtube but quite funny.

Could light windshield tint cause this?

For example, could this bother some sensor in the review mirror facing forward? It would not be sensing through the light tint on the windshield. However, the tint usually blocks from the outside in... and not the other way around.

Strange.

Car is going in tomorrow for other routine matters and I will have this checked.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Mine does this occassionally. The Idrive and cluster go black upon start up and then return after like 30 seconds. Not sure what this is. Dealer keeps saying its my front mounted dash cam (right under the rearview mirror, but i disagree. It happened for the 1300 miles i had on the car before I installed the dashcam as well.
