Time resets itself about once a day to 12:00
On long drives, if playing a CD itjust quits, goes black and comes back 5 seconds later. About once every 2 hours or so.

anyone else? cure?

 

Mine that once. My whole dash actually went out for about 5 seconds. My cluster included. I think it could a heat buildup problem actually. CDs are damn hot whenever you eject them in mine.

 

mine are VERY hot too...

 

This guy had the same problem sounds like you just need to get a new radio

Could be loose connections on the 12v ignition wire or the 12v battery wire (check ground too just to be thorough).

 

The dealer can reset the radio and then reprogram it with an updated program. Fixes most problems with the 03 and up radios. If that doesnt work, then you have to replace it.

 

by chance have your heather on too . the added heat could have a effect . my old truck if i ran the kenwood cranked up and the heather after about 20 to 30 mims it shut off or the sound got real bad .

 

First I've heard of it. Only problem I've seen happens when playing burned discs.
On our 4th 04+ Chevy with this radio, too.

 

im on my second cd player now waitin on my third...except mine goes to hell when i use the steering wheel controls....the clock will reset to 12 and it acts like it has no cd player at all...just radio, i've had to get the chevrolet dealer to replace it twice and im fed up about to go aftermarket....but they say u have to leave the stock cd player relocated in the vehicle so i dunno have to figure out something or other?

 

My factory CD player would always stop playing CD's and act like there was not even one in there. I got tired of it and got a aftermarket Kenwood, been very happy ever since. The factory radios are no good
