Head unit turning off

Hello everyone I’m having a problem with my head unit in my w164 it turns on and off every 30 seconds plays sound and I can use it normally for those 30 seconds but it then randomly turns off then turns back on anyone know what’s going on?

You must check for codes in Command/Sound with a scanner, not a code reader. Look at all the possibilities.

Do you own a scanner, not a code reader?

If you have a Bluetooth phone, order this one.

Don't think about replacing the radio until you read for codes.
