Default Radio randomly shuts off

Was sitting at a stop light a kenwood radio shut off. Heard a pop from speakers. Then after 15 seconds radio came back on but all memory was reset like a new radio. Then radio is a replacement 1.5 dinn. With vet oem wiring used.

any ideas.

Have you checked your battery and connections? You may have a week battery or connections. Everything may be shutting off momentarily. You're just noticing the radio because you hear the "pop" and losing your audio. Just a thought.

Hum don't think it is the battery or connection since the car is still running. Unless you dont need battery when car is running?

Alternator would also be supplying electrical power as well as charging the battery ay the same time. Everything has to work as a system. If you have a week link would result in such non desirables such as intermittent electrical power lost.
