Radio cuts off and back on seems to be vol related

The operating instructions and installation guide for the CDW-GT11W are available from the manufacturer's support site: https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=CDXGT11W&template_id=1®ion_id=1&tab=manuals#/manualsTab . Click on the Manuals, Specs & Warranty tab. I needed to refresh the next page to download the manual (click on the circle with the arrow going clockwise). The direct link to the manual is currently https://docs.sony.com/release//CDXGT11W.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Are you using an amplifier? If so, you are probably using the blue wire (power antenna remote turn on) instead of the blue/white wire (amplifier remote turn on). The blue wire is turned off when leaving tuner mode, thus turning the amplifier off.

Any DIN style radio will fit onto the existing cut out.
Stay with Sony CDX family. The connect and color code will be the same.

Do you still has the remote control for this Sony CDX-C5005?
This remote has an "ATT" (almost like mute) //// lower left hand button.
Aim the remote to the radio and press the ATT button and see is the volume restore to normal.
Click HERE (skip to page 6) for a sample picture of the remote.

Check pos and neg wires on speakers and radio they may be crossed.Does the radio have bass to it or sound like tweeter

Hi,

You can download the complete instruction manual in PDF format from Sony CDX-GT11W support website by clicking this link.

You'll require Adobe PDF Reader installed on your computer to view the manual. If it is not already installed on your computer, download it free from: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.

Have you check the fuse to the constant and the fuse for the accessory (usually separately fused)... you can also check the back of the radio, on that model i believe there is a fuse built in under/behind the harness... Hope this helps!

OK, click Sony Support to download installation guide of CDX-GT11W player that has connection info.
Hope this will help you.

You have a shorted speaker or speaker wire. If a wire is touching metal lightly it may not have full continuity (short) and will work until more voltage (volume) is sent to the speaker and causes the short. Disconnect all speakers at the radio then turn the unit back on. Turn up the volume and see if it cuts out. If it stays on, re-connect speakers one at a time and test. Once you find the problem speaker, disconnect the wire at the speaker then test again. This will eliminate the speaker itself as the problem. Test again. If it still shorts, trace the wire from dash to speaker and look for a cut in the sheathing exposing the wire. Repair or replace the wire and you should be good to go. If the unit cuts out with all speakers disconnected, the problem is internal and will need to be serviced. Before you repair/ or replace the unit either check all the wiring and the speakers or have someone do it for you so it does not give you a repeat performance. Hope this helps.

try turning the radio off and hold down one the buttons until it blinks then adjust

Press and hold the volume knob until the display shows clock adjust.
use the forward and rewind serch buttons (the small arrow buttons next to the volume nob) to switch hour and minute.
use the volume knob to adjust the time. When done press the volume knob to return to normal operation.
