instrument cluster dead, no climate, and other buttons dead.

This morning, my car didn't immediately recognize the key, after a few seconds, it did but my instrument cluster was dead - no gauges moved. The center display only shows mileage screen but goes off while driving.

The climate system is completely non-responsive although the AC cooling fan seems to be running high.

Some of the buttons such as seat warming, retractable rear screen don't work. Windows also do NOT work. But, sunroof does work (open and close).

The radio/nav is working. I was able to drive the car to work... Not sure if I should drive it to dealership now...

Any ideas?

It seems like that would be quite a few fuses to blow out at once but I'd definitely start there.

I made it home and decided to try my OTHER key. And, guess what, the car works normally with the OTHER key. So, somehow this is related to the key.

The only issue now is that I'm getting an ESP error with the working key. This may be because I fiddled with the fuse box and may need to drive the car around a bit.

FYI my car had a check engine light too.
