Radio Problems
Car is demonstrating some strange radio behavior lately...
I'll get in the car and there is no sound even though the radio is on. I can cycle through all the modes, but the SAT modes do not show up. Essentially, it cycles through the AM, FM, and DVD and the SAT modes are not there. If I go to the CD/DVD screen, it shows that the disk is playing, but still no sound even though I can still skip through tracks. If I go to the audio screen, adjustments are greyed out in the settings screen.
Then, after driving, it mysteriously comes on and all sound and function is restored. Usually, within 5-10 minutes. It happened maybe once before a long time ago, but it happened maybe three times in the past two days.
I've got a VaisTech Satellite unit with XM receiver that are not really used because I am in Germany and there is no XM coverage here. I haven't had a problem until recently though. I do use the AUX out from the VaisTech as my iPod adapter as my primary input source.
Anyone know if it's the HU or ML amp? Something else?
Thanks:

Nope. Didn't need to install an aftermarket GPS system. All I had to do was use a European navigation disk that a computer programmer altered to work with the US model car. Reason why I'm skeptical about the plugs is that it works fine usually. I'll be listening to music up until I turn off the car, then when I start it the next time it has no sound for 5-10 minutes. Been happening for two days now.
