Greetings from Patagonia.

My digital cockpit suddenly disappeared yesterday. Twice I tried disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes, and cleared errors running both Carista and VCDS several times each.

Photos 1&2 are current - the second was after reconnecting the battery.
Photo 3 was earlier in the week with the digital cockpit working normally

I’ve found that driving the vehicle for about 30 minutes following battery disconn3ction will restore settings and eliminate error messages.

Thanks for the comment, I drove a few hours after but no joy

What do you mean by disappeared ? It’s there on all 3 pictures.

Or do you mean that you’d like to see the two analog dials on either side? That’s controlled by one of the buttons on the steering wheel - the right-hand side cluster of button - and it’s the button that’s the bottom left.

When you press it, it cycles through the 3 different views, one of which has the two dials.
 
View 1 is a standard option
View 2 is also a standard screen showing full screen navigation, I'm guessing there are no mapped roads where you are?
view 3 is as @Mehdime said available by scrolling through the available layouts using the bottom left button on the right hand side of the steering wheel.
 
Thanks @Mehdime and @andyinluton - I must've hit the button without realizing.

I've been driving a lot of corrugated roads which require occasional error clearing and assumed this was a symptom of a more serious issue, especially since using the head display (photo 1) didn't help.

Even with tires down to 1.5bar(22#) there's a ton of vibration
