I was out this morning doing some shopping and when I got back in the car and started it, noticed instrument panel was completely dead. Normal warning lights came on for a second during startup, but nothing else. Infotainment system was normal. Car drove normally

Did a few restarts with no change. I drove home ( luckily only a few miles) like that.

After getting out of the car, locking and unlocking the car ( thinks it's some sort of soft reset) everything went back to normal. Not sure what is going on, first time anything weird like that happening. Suppose I could have possibly done a bad start button push (i.e. Double tap)? Maybe it's IP address got confused?

Anybody else have an experience like that?

Had center display lock-up last night (only displays blue volt insignia), and no buttons changed anything. Tried 'restarting' car (going into park, hitting power button to turn off, then hitting again to power on) with no change.

Confirming the "soft reset" really needs to be the following to get it back:
1. power off car (keep key/fob with you)
2. get out of car
3. lock car
4. unlock car
5. get in car
6. power on car
