I'm having problems with theCR 220 radio in my 02 Carrera. At times it will come on and at times it won't. Even when playing it will suddenly shut off. Sounds like a short somewhere or is this a common problem?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I don't know if it's a common problem or not, but I have a semi-related issue. If I leave the car (2004 Targa) garaged for a few days, when I eventually start it back up, the radio will be very quiet and distorted until I do something to give the electrical system a "kick", like beep the horn or turn the headlights on. After that, it snaps back up to normal volume and sound quality. Granted, I have an aftermarket double-DIN Pioneer AVIC-F700BT, but there's something strange going on with the electrical system.
