Welcome thefast1!

I'm sure qualified help will be along, but in the meantime you will have to put up with my speculation.

It certainly seems as though the Comand isn't talking with the car for any period of time after switch on.

The "please wait" notice is an indication that the feature the cluster is looking of is not present - duh, but the question is why and presuming that MB have tested that the Comand is talking on the MOST ring it does point to something in the unit itself rather than a problem with the fibre optic ring or its physical connections.

Are you in the Wiltshire area?
Just thinking that we could drop my spare Audio 20 into your car and see how it reacts.
