Angry Rear ended - Hidden Damage?

Sitting at a stoplight on the way home from dinner in the thru lane.
Left turn signal turns green and the guy behind me hits the gas and rear ends me, moderately hard.
No damage at all to the paint, his bumper must have hit the rear plugs on either side of the license plate.
Checked the operation of all doors and both compartment lids, and the rear spoiler.
Only thing i noticed is the radio/Nav lcd is flickering.
Taking it to the dealer tomorrow morning for a check.
Any comments on other things I should check out?
Ideas on why the LCD is flickering?

Thanks for your help.

Your dealer will remove the bumper and check for hidden damage.

oddly, your radio may end up being the most expensive part of this rear ending accident. My LCD went out (with blue and green lines) and they had to replace the whole unit.
