TBM930 Unable to engage autopilot when I start from parking (cold/dark)

As anybody encountered this issue before and how did you solve it? Every time I start from cold and dark the autopilot would not engage. But when I start when start at the runway, it works perfectly.

Some times I like to setup my flight plan from cold and dark which is more realistic to me. Can anybody help?

If starting from cold & dark by default AP is OFF, you need to switch it to ON there:

Thanks I did check and it worked. Funny enough, I always turn this off at the end of each flight but never noticed.
