Mysterious stereo and dash reset?

Hello all, I have this weird problem that the stereo just resets for like 1sec to 1.5sec and comes back to normal, on every 5-10 mins interval or so.. When it does, the dash board gets resets too by displaying the sos not connected (just like when I just started the car)... Does anyone have or had the same problem? Thanks!

This thread may be of some help.

Also, try searching this forum for "AGW" and "audio gateway".

I changed the auxiliary battery and the relay but i still have this strange reset.
I tried analizing and found out that it only happens after the first start up and it always happens 6 minute 20 seconds after the start up and its fine after. what could this be?
i disconnected the aux and the main battery for like an hour and still have the problem.
Please help.
Thank you!
