Retrofit android unit help

Hi I have a ML350 2014 with a retrofit android unit, every time I accelerate it changes over from the android side to the command side and cuts out the aux music, any ideas?


Here’s a link to the YouTube video showing the problem.

It's either defective, incorrectly wired and/or you have issues with the power delivery to the unit.

Does it also happen when you're parked and rev the engine (i.e. slight voltage drop or interference without movement)?

hi thanks for the suggestion, I thought that as well so I got the multimeter out and everything tested out fine, turns out it was a software problem, I got the company I bought it from to send me a new software update, installed it on the unit and voila all working as it should!
