Radio Aftermarker (SONY) with s/wheel comand Interface problems
Hi to all,
My car: CLK A209, 2004 200K, engine 271.940.
I have installed a SONY XAV-AX3005DB (2din). To use steering wheel comand I installed this interface (CAN 2W COMAND).
Connection IS
When the car is started, the steering wheel controls do not work. But after about an hour or when the car is really hot from being in the sun (my guess), the controls work perfectly, even those for manage phone calls.
There are some strange behaviors. When the steering wheel controls do not work, the arrows have an irregular behavior, the keys to change the command screens work once and once, the high beams have glitches (with a frequency of about one every 3 seconds). If you remove the terminal block from the Connection control unit, everything returns to normal. I also had a diagnosis done in Mercedes (80 € !!!) and everything is normal. So the car seems to not be the problem.
Also I try this interface, more expesive
I have also tried with another interface, more expensive. Nothing changes, same problem.
Here a video that show what happens when the interface does't work - but, I repeat, after some time, it works.

Is there anyone that has had the same/similar problem?
Could you help me to find clues or suggestions to find solutions?
Thanks, a lot,
Massimo
