Long story short I just had to buy a new battery.
I have receipts from previous owner and it looks like the IPC was replaced about 3 years ago. I am having an odd issue with the IPC and radio, might be two different issues as I have bose system and possibly amp is starting to die?
Symptom 1: Vehicle starts fine, gauges all look to work as well as PRNDL however the digital readout information below PRDNL does not work. After driving for about 15 minutes and then shutting the vehicle off and then back on the digital portion will work again and works again until sat for a long period of time.
Symptom 2 (continuation of symptom 1): After 15min ride I will pull over, turn vehicle off and then go to put key in to start vehicle the digital readout shows like symbols/text. Once I turn on the vehicle the square bars appear like normal on the digital portion and then shows Driver 1 like expected and digital readout works until I let vehicle sit for a long period of time.
Symptom 3: Bose Stereo is on and acts like its playing but no sound comes out of speakers, after about 10-15 min the speakers will start working.
I had alternator and battery tested 2 days ago. Alternator was deemed good and battery was deemed bad at 83% battery life, replaced with a gold battery and 5 year warranty.
Could my IPC be draining the battery? I am throwing a battery tender on the vehicle when I come home to park it for the time being so I don't kill this new battery.
Attached is a picture after about 15 min with "key on engine off" right before I start the vehicle.
