infotainment screen is off when i start car

I have 2016 CLS550.
Lately I have noticed that when I start up the car, the infotainment screen is off.
I have to manually press the infotainment power button for it to turn on.
It was not always like this; I have noticed this happening for the last 3 months or so.

In case it helps in diagnosing, when I shutdown the car the infotainment screen is always on.
When I shutdown the car the infotainment screen is either on Navigation or Media screen.
When I shutdown the car usually I have my Iphone plugged into via USB cable.

Does anyone have experience with this?
What can i do so the infotainment screen is on when i start the car?
Could it be a fuse issue?
Could it be a battery issues (main battery in engine bay and/or starter battery in trunk)?

If you figure it out let us know, same issue on the 2016 E550 Cab... dealer said they could not reproduce... admittedly it doesn't do it all the time...

appreciate that... between that and the lane change sensors beeping at 43mph on certain locations, consistently.... wife is ready to trade it in... which sucks cause it's a really nice car....
