Had to jump start the car recently. Afterwards, got a dash message “Temporarily lost communication with the climate system”. None of the climate buttons work - none of the radio touch buttons work incl volume level.

Did you check the fuses?You may have fried something when you jump started the car.  
There’s a risk of serious overvoltage when jump-starting and that can damage any electronic equipment and even headlights that are on during the procedure.
