You have a video in motion module on the car? If so it's gone bad. If not you have a canbus line that is intermittent

No video that I know of. When it comes on, I immediately turn it off then anything upto a min later , but sometimes in seconds I hear what sounds like a relay going and then it comes back on again. If I don't immediately turn it off, say within the first couple of seconds then for the next 10 second or so I cannot do anything, turn the sound down, switch to Nav, audio or anything else. None of the controls at all work even on the steering wheel.

As I don't have any video , that I know of, how big a job is the " can bus line " ?

Thanks AMGpilot.

Sounds like you have a break or bad connector in the Canbus. There are two of them (Canbus high and canbus low) iirc the high is Orange with a white tracer. A STAR should be able to help you narrow down the break
