I've had this problem for a while (and posted here some time back) but is still unresolved ...
From cold, the radio (standard CDR 22) comes on fine, but cuts out immediately the car is started. After around 10 minutes of driving, the radio comes back on again. Starting from warm the radio comes on, and stays on.
Looking again at this, from a voltage regulation perspective, cold voltage across battery terminals is 12.37V, when started this rises to 14.37V, when this drops down (in about 14 minutes) to just below 14v (can be accelerated by turning on aircon, lights etc) the radio comes back on.
Has anyone measured their voltage across the battery when starting from cold? I have read that 13.5 - 14.5V is acceptable - so think that the alternator, and its regulator, are all OK. So am now thinking that the radio's voltage overload protection has become over sensitive. Will see if I can contact Becker to enquire about its spec, but has anyone got any insight on this issue?
