I'm going to put it down to a bad solder joint on the circuit board. Once the radio gets warm, things expand and the connection gets made.
You've got a couple of choices. You can either replace the radio or repair it. Clarion has a deal where they will repair the radio for a flat fee - $80 the last time I checked. You can also go through the dealer - they just send it on to Clarion, and charge you for the honor. It was $125 at my dealer the last time I checked. If you do it yourself, Clarion gives you a 90 day warrantee and about 3 week turnaround. Through the dealer, it's a 1 year warrantee, and supposedly faster turnaround.
THe other option is to install an aftermarket radio. If you don't like the performance of your present radio (assuming it was working right), this is an option.
good luck!
