My car radio goes silent after a few minutes of driving. I notice this symbol (OO) on my radio display also disappears when the radio stops working (please see image attached). What does this symbol mean? And how can I fix the problem? Thanks.

Hi,

First, please understand that I have no specific technical information on this vehicle. However, I will try to help.

I've done some research on this issue. What I am finding is if the battery voltage drops below a specific voltage, it will cause this to happen. I'm not saying it won't restart or will have no power, but it seems as a protective device, the radio is stopped from operating.

I have a few questions. First, is your common driving conditions only short trips? Have you had the battery load tested to confirm it is good? Is this the original battery (likely not, but just asking).

Let me know.
Joe
