Default Help needed - Radio cuts off

I have a new 2007 C6 and the radio sometimes will pop and go off for 1-2 seconds and then come right back on. This has happened a number of times, however not everytime, and always after I have been driving the car for awhile (over 15-30 minutes), so the engine is hot. I am in metro areas with no reception problems (Miami). It happens on XM and FM (Bose system in the 3LT package). I did a search and saw other radio issues but nothing on this problem. Has anyone had this experience? Any suggestions on how to diagnose or handle this problem is appreciated.

Only problem I have seen resembling this is a guy who's radio sometimes just wouldn't come on. Turned out the fuse block for the stereo had come loose and the fuse was making intermittent contact. I believe the dealer may have replaced the fuse block. Always start with the simple so flip the carpeting down at the front of the footwell on the passenger side and check the fuse block. There's a diagram which will tell you which one is for the stereo.
