A diagnostic is needed. Normally regular sound stopping is the BT module on the fritz. Are you sure the replacement was working correctly, and not also faulty. It's quite a common fault, and the symptoms are always the sound stopping at regular intervals.

The Icarsoft should access all modules for the infotainment system, but it can't configure new modules. Some modules need configuration before they function correctly. I believe the BT module and amp both need to be configured, or that's what I think I've read. I've been lucky with both my FL2s, as they've not had audio system issues yet, although I may have just jinxed them.

Sounds like a temperature related fault. If a diag doesn't show anything, the to eliminate each module, you'll need to buy a MOST bypass loop so you can loop out each module in turn.

Amazon or eBay. They are called MOST loop links, they normally come in a kit of male and female.

2x MOST Fiber Optic Loop Cable Plug Connector Fits Audi BMW Mercedes Porsche UK | eBay

If you wish to remove one of these modules from the fiber optic ring for repair or fault diagnosis you will require this female Tyco (TE) connector / adaptor and fiber optic bypass loop cable to close the M.O.S.T ring and maintain the integrity of the remaining modules on the ring.

Once the unit being tested has been looped out with the optical cable, the power plugs can be unplugged.

You'll need to test the BT module, NAV unit under the seat, and screen in the dash. Obviously you can't link out the amp or head unit, as you'll not be able to hear sound to know its going on and off.

Don't have nav or unit under seat so how do I no if its Ampner head unit its not just sound that goes off it all turns off then back on again like its turned off with button
 
Not having the NAV screen or drive reduces where the issue can be.
If the whole lot shuts down, then comes on again, you can link out the amp to test it.
It could be the Front Panel Control unit or CD player behind it. Unfortunately you can't replace the front panel without programming, as it's the controller for the system. That doesn't mean it's not faulty, just replacing it isn't a straight swap.

Can you swap the cd player or do you need to program that too

According to LR, any part of the audio system needs configuration after installation, although this doesn't always seem to be the case.
