Since the 9 inch head unit on the touring models is based on Android, I enabled developer settings to see if I can get deeper access to the OS. My main intention was to increase DPI settings so Android Auto would display more information with the new UI. Under display, there is an option called simulate second screen. I chose the 4K option under this. Since then, there is a 4k overlay on my screen that covers 80% of the overall screen and touch doesn't work in this mode on the overlay. You can touch around the overlay and it works alright. To disable it, you need to access developer settings again and disable it or you need to boot into safe mode to do it.
Since the overlay covered all the apps on the screen, I can't access the settings anymore 😑The only other way is to factory reset. I booked an appointment with dealer to see if they can factory reset with an external computer but looks like all they can do it disconnect the battery and reconnect it. It only reboots the system and this overlay persists on reboots. They might have to get a replacement head unit if they can't factory reset it externally 😬
TL;DR Don't mess with developer settings, especially the simulate secondary display option.
If anyone knows how to boot this head unit into safe mode, please let me know
