Default UConnect Radio turns off unexpectedly...

My radio will randomly reset...like this...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84411374&v=Z7S7vBf9LUc&x-yt-ts=1421828030&feature=player_detailpage anyone else had this issue??? The vehicle was running the entire length of that video. When I shut the car off it sounds like there is a cooling fan running behind the radio. This is on a 2015 JKU Rubicon.

The beauty of a 2015 is that it is under warranty!

It got to the point today that it just shut off and did not reset. I was near a Jeep dealership, so I pulled in to make sure they could view the problem while it was happening. The vehicle showed no trouble codes...but they said they would order me a new radio

Your YouTube video doesn't play/link so I can't tell if it's what mines doing too. How did the issue get resolved?

Default Video of my problem

Might be thread-jacking but here's a video of what mine's doing. Not sure if it matches what the OP was seeing.

Cross-linking to another post I made last year on the subject.

That is similar to what mine was doing, except mine was the touchscreen unit...so it would take 15-20 seconds to boot up, then shut off again. The dealership did replace my stereo, no problems since then!!!

Good to know - but, well, crap. I'm already 2 years outside warranty. I guess I need to divert Jeep parts funding to new radio funding.

I wonder if the forum has a thread on best radio replacements and how to do it.
