Unhappy 2019 Vantage No infotainment or drive mode selectability

Excited to be part of AM owners!

Hoping for a pointer or two here. Been rebuilding a crash damaged 2019 Vantage with front and rear damage: hood, bumpers, parking sensors, cameras etc.
Odd part is that the car came with neither the infotainment screen nor the lower control panel/centre console working. No joy on the media wheel, or the touch panel/surface. The trans buttons work fine, car starts just fine, can turn on flashers too.
Can't get to Sport+ or Track mode or adjust suspension either. Nothing happens when I hit the buttons on steering wheel.

Pulled the codes and I get "communication with Lower Control Panel has a malfunction" and "communication with head unit has a malfunction" DTCs. U1155FF & U0147FA, respectively.

Checked all cabin fuses and swapped every fuse that would touch the amp, centre stack, drive unit, IP fuse box B power, multimedia box etc. with new easyID ones. Still no joy.

Is tearing out the whole centre console and then disconnect / reconnect harnesses for it and swapping out the lower control panel basically the next resort? or does anyone have any guidance I could try?

Would really appreciate some help.

Cheers!

Wonder if someone took your center stack module which controls pretty much all that you mentioned as they took the screen also?

Hmm, I just peeled through the parts diagram and seems there isn't a module for the centre stack? Unless you mean the head unit itself?
Everything on the centre stack is attached how its supposed to be, at least visually: the screen, the buttons etc. Even HVAC works fine.

i had your same issue referred to in an older thread. My car was under warranty and after many modules replaced, the resolution was a new wiring harness.
