No power to the radio

So I was driving yesterday and randomly my radio just shut off, nothing shows up on the display at all and doesn't respond to any controls. Same thing for the cd player, bluetooth etc. Hasn't turned back on since, initially thought fuse since it appears there's no power but all fuses are ok.

I did schedule service with the dealership but I can't get there for a couple weeks so I thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone has any ideas. Initial thought by the dealer was the radio is bad and most likely will need replaced.

I can't remember if there is a fuse on the back side of the radio or not. Might be worth a look.

Just realized I put this in the 1st gen section, sorry about that!

Not sure how to close/delete this however but I'll re-post to the correct section.

Just hit the triangle in the upper right corner and 'report' it as being in the wrong section. Moderators will move it as appropriate.

So interesting update, after sitting for 24hrs the radio now works again. I didn't do or touch anything, it literally sat in the garage after the problem occurred so no idea why it's now working. Still going to take it in for service as I don't trust it's going to stay working.
