Default Sounds Goes Off While Riding????

My Harley radio works fine but soon (anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes) I have no sound. Radio is still on and on same station or cd track. The cd and Ipod both show it is playing but I have no sound. If I shut the radio off and then back on the sound is fine but soon it will go off. Getting tired of turning radio off and back on.
Anyone have any ideas how to repair this besides taking it to a dealer? That would be my last resort if possible. If you know of a place to send it that is good and will not rip you off I would appreciate knwing about it. Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same exact problem. Mine is still under warranty so I will take it to dealer. It's annoying cutting out in the middle of a song.

if you do not have an amp installed in either system, then Iron Cross Audio is the place you want to use for repairs. They are extremely helpful, courteous, very quick to do work, very reasonable and won't rip you off. They are also a sponsor here on HDFORUMS.

I've sent several radios for myself and friends to them for varying reasons and they really take care of you.

No need to go to the dealer. Give us a call and we'll walk you through a few things to determine whether it's the radio or not. If it is, we can certainly repair it.
We're in the shop from 7:30 am to 6PM M-F

Iron Cross...thank you so much. I had your website written down from previous posts in the General Forum. I just wanted to make sure I could not do something before I sent it to you. I will call Monday. THANK YOU!
