The IBS (INfernal Battery System, its suppose to be intelligent ) has the ability to shut stuff down if the battery is weak. Low battery problems are pretty common if the car isn't getting a lot of use or some highway miles in non traffic jam conditions to recharge the battery. A lot of people buy a battery tender.

The list
1)Check battery voltage is a place to start then a load test
also you can look at the glass eye indicator on the battery.
If you have a bad one there are many threads on how and where
to get one or replace it without having to pay over 500 bucks.
2) The amp could be bad also check fuses for the same but I don't think it
would come back on at all if a fuse was blown.
3)Radio bad or lost programming not as likely but there have been cases of this.
