stock bose radio not working
I just bought an '08 350z and the Bose radio isn't working. It turns on, let's you adjust the volume and change the station but I don't get any sound. I took the radio out yesterday to look for anything obvious and when I was finished the radio worked perfect...one time. Shut the car off and back on and now I'm getting no sound again. Any ideas before I take it to a professional audio shop?

check the amp back by the spare.... may or may not be the issue... sounds like you have a random short somewhere. get a cheap speaker and tap it into the wires coming directly off the radio before the amp, see if you get sound... do the same thing after the amp...

Seems that way, but it's not really consistent. After work yesterday I drove to target with no radio, when i came back out of target to drive home the radio worked again. Very unpredictable. The only thing so far that has been consistent is that if the radio doesn't work the first time I turn it on then turning the car off and on repeatedly doesn't seem to help.

Without actually testing the system, I can only guess.
I agree with travlee9374…
It’s probably a short that is causing the Bose amps to go into safe mode (shut down). After things cool down, the amps begin working again. That’s a guess., but I cannot think of anything else that would be as random as you describe.
