if the radio keeps needing re-coded i'd say it was a earth fault.
check battery terminals :y

Take the terminals off and clean them .. while you are there check the earth (0V) strap connection to the chassis, and IIRC there is one from the engine block to the chassis as well.

Also check the main power fuses in the little box above the battery for security

Sounds like you are losing power to the whole system momentarily
