sounds like a cold solder joint on a PCB in the head unit. it's making intermittant contact as it warms up or cools down.
nothing you can do about that. get it repaired or replaced.
under warranty if possible.
make sure your wiring behind the radio is all solid first though.

if there is an exposed wire that is being subjected to heat could it be shutting it off?

exposed as in no shielding or anything?
electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.
it may be shorting.
