I recently have an issue on my 2009 Land Cruiser. At night when my lights turn on or when i manually turn my lights. the MFD screen will lock up loosing control over climate control or and all other functions except radio. When the lights are off MFD screen works perfect. Any suggestions?
 
How about some troubleshooting steps>
Did this just start?
What has changed recently?
 
nothing has changed. It started recently. I also If I dail back the brightness of dashboard lights it helps regain some control over the head unit. Could an upgrade to head unit help? Or is this more of an electrical issue with the head unit.
 
If you have done no aftermarket changes and this just started then keep trying to isolate the conditions when it occurs. There are some very experienced and smart people on this forum, but they need info!
Does it occur with parking lights on?
Can you recreate the head unit screen lockup on demand or is it intermittent?
Will it occur if the car is not running but one press of the ignition without foot on brake?
Test and isolate as much as you can!

Yes I can buplicate issue. It will do it if engine is not running. One new thing I have learned is that if I dim back the interior lights. I can gain control over the head unit again.
