Could be the AGW. Pull the fuse for a while and try again.

If it does not help, check the wiring (fibre and CAN-bus) at the HU and other MOST ring devices.

Its the AGW, I had the exact same problem and had to replace mine, I actually bought two, one without the microphone connection first, then I replaced it with another one that was the exact one I needed because I need the mic for the phone. If you need one and can do without the mic, I have it and will let it go for $200. I paid $370 for it.

Yeah, it will work with it, and the installation is pretty simple, you remove the side panel, then move the SAM over to the side (the thing with the fuses), and take the AGW out, it sits right on top of the left rear wheel well. Then just unplug the old AGW and plug in the new one.

I can provide step by step instructions, no problem.
