Good morning to all. I have a 2014 Ram 5500 that I purchased last year. I decided to upgrade the radio for the stock RA1 to a new RA2 (manufacture date 2/2019) in order to have a backup camera. Long story short, I added the RA2 and a backup camera, got a code from a local dealer, did the programming via the ODB2 port (added the camera option), and presto, everything worked just like I wanted. This was done last summer. In the fall I noticed that after starting the truck, the RA2 radio played music for about a minute, then the sound went away as well as bluetooth connectivity. Everything else on the radio works, the backup camera, changing stations, menus.... just no sound or bluetooth. Turned the truck off, opened the door, started it back up and the radio worked perfectly for over an hour. Since then, this has repeated several times. I started it up yesterday, radio sound went out. Turned the truck off, opened the door, and it worked the rest of the day. Any ideas what causes this random issue? Thanks
