I had accident with my car and after repairing it and cleared all airbag systems by workshop my main screen stopped working even A/C buttons not responding and when checked again by workshop they told me that your Controller AV is not working when ever it is connected the main screen stops working and your controller AV needs to be replaced, could this be the issue or they may have done something wrong while repairing the airbags.

Yes, something could be not connected after replacing the airbags, also I would check all fuses here is a guide to help. I see the TCU controls the screen, which is located in the center console, did they have that apart?

If the fuses are okay, you may have a IPDM going out which is common, we should perform a CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

here is a video to show you how:
