2013 G63 does not start after steering wheel installation

Hello fellow members, I need help with my 2013 G63

Couple months ago I replaced my steering wheel with 2020 steering wheel, at the time it was really nice and did not give me any issues, touch buttons were working and everything else worked well. 2 weeks ago I noticed the buttons on the steering wheels stopped working, so I decided to swap it back to the stock steering wheel. It worked perfectly with no issues, like a stock one would. Next morning I tried to turn it on but it would not crank. It shows SRS malfunction and vehicle not in Park and almost all of the modules shows no connection. I have an AUTEL ELITE scanner so I scanned many time, but still no luck. Sometimes, if the steering wheels in removed, it may start and drive like normal but with all warning on. This car never been in any accident. I ordered the steering wheel column so hopefully it may fix it which I doubt.

Please let me know what do you think or maybe somebody had this issue before.

That 2020 steering isn't factory stock is it? I am guessing it is adapted to work on the older generation..
