our cars are like computers try pulling the negative terminal and leaving it off a good half hour. plug in and try again. if you do decide to pull the plug...note down your oil maintenance interval as it'll reset itself. same goes for oil, tire, etc. on the trip computer. i think that's all that resets? hm...let us know what happens. is it still happening, right now?

Yes it is. I can tell because my blackberry's bluetooth connects to the car somehow. But I will try pulling the battery cable in the morning

I tried the battery pull and nothing, im going to leave it overnight disconnected, also the key thing lights up on my dash, maybe its somehow connected. Sometimes the radio will turn off but then start up again on its own, this is really weird and i cant take it to the dealer because of my test pipes. I do have a subwoofer hooked up to the system but i never really ran into any problems with it.

BUMP!

SO the problem stopped for a while and has once again resumed! I have taken off ANYTHING electrical I have done to the car in an effort to remove any potential threat, the last thing i have to remove is the DVD Hack on it, does anyone believe this could be causing the issue? I have also removed the subwoofer wiring and LEDs

This happened to me in my old dodge neon but never thought I'd hear about this on a G. I wouldn't mess with it. Take it in and make use of your warranty.

Looks like you got stuck with the Japanese version of Christine.
