Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for configuring an infotainment display in an automobile to operate as a backup display to an electronic instrument cluster of the automobile in the event of a failure in the electronic instrument cluster. For example, if the electronic instrument cluster turns blank as a result of a failed component or a faulty power supply, at least some of the graphics that were displayed on the electronic instrument cluster are automatically displayed on the infotainment display. The graphics displayed on the infotainment display can include, for example, a speedometer graphic that is dynamically updated in a real-time mode of operation to indicate a speed at which the automobile is moving. The speedometer graphic on the infotainment display substantially replicates the speedometer graphic that was displayed on the electronic instrument cluster prior to the occurrence of the fault.
