My radio dies..

First post:-)
I´ve allways had this problem with my stereo. It´s a 16:9 navi with 6 CD changer. When I haven´t used my car for a day or so and take it for a ride, the sound on the stereo dies? The sound doesn´t come back untill I ;
1. turn of the power for several minutes or
2. shut down the engine som some time or
3. start to navigate and wait until the nice lady says something.

Isn´t this strange? Anyone else who´s got this problem?

Thanks

Ive bought a new car now, but I thing I now a little bit more about this now. If you turn on navigation and waits until the lady speaks, the sound will return... Hmm..

Battery was flat this morning could it have been this that caused the problems ? Or was the radio poping all night ? When BMW assist came out could not find anything wrong with the car,But I had disconected the Ice link by then just incase. Soon as the car was jump started all work fine. Strange

hmm.. Could be the battery, but I installed a brand new battery in mine and still got the same problem. But it was worse on the cold winterdays. That could have made the battery a litte bit weaker..?
