    First little (temporary?) issue for my 2021: I hopped in, started it up, and noticed that the factory head unit was off/blank/etc., despite still being able to hear the radio.

    Totally blank/black screen, but the radio was playing, the volume control still worked, the steering wheel controls still worked, etc.

    I made a 20 minute drive with it like that and it never turned on during the drive.

    Got to my destination, turned the truck off, then back on again, and it worked perfectly.

    Since then (a few more separate drives), it’s worked perfectly every time.

    I doubt there’s a hard-and-fast fix, but thought I’d mention it regardless.

    ?? possibly doing and install on an update? If it continues document (cell video) and go to the dealer for warranty.
