i was driving and went to pick my bro up from school listening to the radio. i turn off the car and sit there while i wait. he comes out i turn on the car, it hesitates for a sec so i just let it go back to the on position, turn it on again and it started right up again, try to turn on the radio but it wont turn on??

its prolly broken...if it is powered, just not working, usually that means the internals are messed up, and to get it fixed it would probably cost more than just replacing it.

try looking at a junk yard and see if there are any 5th gens out there, and pull the radio, or spend about 250 or so, and get a new one...a pretty decent new one.

not to ask a dumb question but its not flashing code on the display is it? Meaning it lost power for some reason and wants the security code again? I had that happen in my 97 SH before. Something just surged and it made the radio lose power and i had to enter the code to get it working again ? ?

it wont even get to the part that it will let me enter the code, thats the thing!

**u know how when your car is off the anti-theft light blinks? well it blinks when the key is in and the car is on???

*** i dunno if it matters but im running a chipped p28 with uberdata, it worked when i first put it in and 2-3weeks after that just suddenly stopped working

did it stop working the second you put the uberdata in? If so there is just a connection issue, if it gradually faded out, there might of been too much power going to it, and it fried.

Take the radio casing off and check the internal power supply fuse hasn't blown, it will be a small clear glass fuse, if they go you can still get power on the anti-theft display but nothing after that.
