When you say that your radio turns on and off do you mean the sound is turning on and off (for example, audio to static and back) or do you mean that your radio power is turning on and off (for example, as if someone were to physically press the on and off button)?

If the radio turns off, but then turns itself back on a min or two later, you might want to take to dealer (or STAR mechanic) who can run any updates it might need. That might solve it.

But if it's mechanical failure, then you might wanna see who'll sell you another head unit. I have an '03 500 with the small display/tape/6CD changer. It's HK. I think all of them are, aren't they??
