stereo only works after 30 mins of driving

Hi All

The Stereo in my saxo 1.4 west coast only works after 30 mins of driving or if it is a really hot day and will then work in the afternoon upon re-start up.

Sounds strange i know

It is not the original stereo fitted, this one is a Blaupunkt, has always worked but in the past six months this problem has started and can near enough predict when its going to come on!

This may mean nothing but seems to come on quicker when i put the fan on full with heat into the car (No aircon on this model)

Cheers

Probably a poor connection. Its expanding with the heat and connecting itself. So late afternoon or 30 mins of engine warming is enough for it. Pull it out and check 1 by 1! It has to part of your power system so its either permanent power (12v), earth or ignition wire.
