Default Dash Cluster turning off

Anyone out there have an issue with their dash cluster turning off while they are driving and then coming back on? So far it has happened twice. I would be driving along and the entire dash turns off (gauges and evic.) I would hear the chime and everything comes back on as if, I just started the truck. It's been to the dealership for the flashes for the radio and something else to do with the seat controller about a month before this starting happening.

The only thing I can think off, is I received an email indicating there was an update for the radio to add Pandora and Iheartraido to it. I had to download it usb drive and then plug it into the truck to update the radio. Since completing this, I noticed when backing up, the camera distorts a little and sometimes the radio doesn't read the music from the usb drive.

Yes! On my 2014 I've never had the instrument cluster actually shut off on me... but I've had it flicker and dim many many times.
I would also say almost half the time the media does not pick up bluetoothed audio or any type of USB or SD Card. It's been to the dealership and has had the "most up to date" flashes available, but this still frequently happens. Have you most any gains with this Antcap?

The dash only went out one more time, and the radio has been working lately. I spoke with the dealership about a month ago, and they said there is another update out for the radio, but they have not gotten the DVD's yet, so they say.
