Hello. Are you aware that the MCS2000 (and most other modern M mobiles) require a software setting to acknowlege your ignition sense desires in addition to a proper wiring configuration? If you're sure that you're wired correctly (power cable, ignition sense cable and proper pin positioning), I would start with the programming. I have three in my vehicle (two high power units) and have addressed this during their installation. Best wishes.

Radio Configuration, Radio Wide, Advanced tab, Ignition switch dropdown menu. Yours is most likely set to "blank" if the ignition sense wire does nothing.
