V36 Stop/Start Button Issue

Hi Guys,

I have done some searching but cannot find anything relating to this.

I recently took the dash apart to install a Wifi Miracast device so I can see what was on my phone on my screen in the car, I got this working perfectly however upon re-connecting the battery and starting the car I can no longer just press the Stop / Start button to turn the car off like it always did in the past. I have to hold the button down 2 seconds for it to turn off.

Does anyone know why this is occurring and how to fix it?

Note also: When I press the button like I used the dash dims and goes off for a second then comes back on and the ends revs drop also and come back up like it tried to turn off.

 

PS:I'll write a article on the miracast device setup as there is no mention on here of these devices and how t set them up, there really is no need to get a new system installed to get it in english just use our phones that have everything on them GPS,Music streaming, videos etc.

Why did you take the dash apart? You've got so much room in the centre console's internals to install that device and it's so much easier to access.

Think back to what you pulled apart with your dash and retrace your steps. Go through each device one by one. If your dash lights are dimming when you press the button and whatnot, try checking your power wiring for your Miracast box. You may have derived your power mistakenly from a dash circuit that you shouldn't have, particularly your grounding if you just got it off something you thought was a negative wire but is in fact a drain wire through another device rather than direct to the vehicle's chassis.

Miracast sounds great the other stuff sound bad.
