Angry Control screen scan line from bottom to the top

Picked up my i7 about a month ago, love it so much, so comfortable but it seems like it start falling apart.

a week ago the left driver side light panel touch sensor stopped working, I cannot use the automatic door but, or adjust the headlights settings. Brought it to service and they need to order parts which is 1.5 months wait...

then couple days ago I start seeing there was a scan line coming from the bottom of the centre control screen to the top.

I confirmed that it only happen when I had my headlights on.

I tested the same on iX, it does not happen. booked a time for service *AGAIN* tomorrow and will see what they said.

Does anyone experience the similar issue on their control screen too?

Remove fuse 36 and reinsert and the display function will be restored

Yes, I experience the same issue on the instrument cluster (the display in front of the steering wheel) and the head unit (the display fixed to the center of the dashboard).
It's not quite a scan line (since that was a component of ray and tube-based displays of the past); it's more the presentation of a digital signal picking up some other interference. But your description was definitely understood as something my i7 x60 does.
Noticed it since delivery.

I had considered getting it looked at—along side have my seat examined for making a farting noise when adjusting, to solve the turbulent wind noise to the right and left of the mirrors, and to have a "clunk" looked at that has since become quieter over age), but then decided I currently don't have the time (or, more precisely, the energy).

Both of my rear 5.5 controllers had to be replaced due to the black material underneath the glass started to bubble away and turn silver.
