W211 ignition problem

My 2002 w211 has a problem when i turn ignition on, sometimes instantly, sometimes few seconds later, speedometer lights and radio turns off, can't start the car and when i bring the key to starting position, wont turn again unless i take it out, put it in again and i have to turn the key fast to start the engine, this does not work sometimes or the engine starts but the speedometer would be turned off same time

I cannot repair it by myself or just switch it with a new one because it needs to be recognized by ecu, right ?
