Display gremlins - coding related?

I've been having some strange issues with my display, and I'm not sure what the cause is. I recently had the telematics control module replaced due to the SOS button constantly giving me errors. But at the same time I also did a lot of the popular coding functions. My current issues, all of which are intermittent and have no pattern: 1) display will go blank and restart, 2) on startup display will not come up at all, it eventually will restart 3) all the radio presets will show up at the top (1-2-3-4-5-6) saying "not assigned", 4) after putting car in reverse, display will not come out of parking camera mode. I'm guessing it's the TCM causing the issue, but I was wondering if anyone had any irregularities after coding? I plan to bring it back to the dealer but just curious if anyone thinks I should put the car back to stock coding first?

Coding isn't going to cause the issues you are describing with the iDrive system. The head unit is connected to the telematics unit so I'd suggest looking there for a start. Coding is simply flicking switches on and off and won't have this type of impact.

Ok, thanks. I thought that was probably the case but these issues started after I did some coding so just wanted to rule that out.
