2007 GT, infotainment unit goes sometimes off and back on a few minutes later. Sometimes it works whole week without problem, but then suddenly it goes off middle of driving and radio goes off etc. Sometimes also when you start the car, it won't go on, but after few minutes it's suddenly goes on.
Anyone have this problem?

Not in my Continental but I have in my Phaeton. It's a symptom of a dying ZAB unit. I replaced mine in my 2005 a couple of years ago with a salvaged unit, and that unit is now starting to do the same thing. They can also start to stay on after the car is shut off which is super annoying. Good news is that (I think) replacements are available. Mine cost $600 IIRC and the install was an hour at a shop. I think there are also places that will rebuild your unit and make it like new.

Can also be a symptom of a weak LH battery.
ooh, thank you! I don't think it's battery, but have to check =)

Hello @Jyri Katrama ,
where are you located ?
I have worked on quite a few units, and some from members here, so give me a little information as to if everything works in your GT, such as NAV, and CD player, also has anyone ever installed an aftermarket RVC or any kind of video input into the Infotainment system, three of the many units I worked hands on it was either that someone had soldered an aftermarket RVC onto the board causing the problem, that was a lady in Cali, once removed all was good, an other was a faulty NAV CD drive that had the head unit rebooting from time to time, a gentleman here in Jersey at his shop, once we swapped one of my NAV CD drive units in, all was good to go, another was a shop in Florida, I told him to do as I do, take the unit out and bench test it for hours, if not 2 days, if it doesn't shut down or reboot, the problem is elsewhere in the system, he had a loose connection at the rear of the unit, an actual broken antenna clip/plug, another lady from Cali had replaced her unit with one from eBay, BUT, she purchased the wrong year, she had a 2007 with SAT radio but installed a 2006 unit with no SAT radio, therefore the the unit kept rebooting, once she installed a correct 07 unit from me, all was good.
So let us know if anything has been touched on your unit.

I'm from Finland. And everything works fine, until it shuts down. But today when it turns off and like after one minute it turns on, it just shows Bentley logo and shuts down again. It repeat that like 4-5 times and then I drive to park and turn off the car. After 5 minutes, I start the car and everything works normally. There isn't any aftermarket rvc or video or nothing.

Ok, then as @Samhain stated, check you house battery.
Is this a daily driver, or has she been parked for any long periods of time ?
Bite the bullet and buy the Ben Hur and a good Alpine. You won't look back. Factory unit is junk. I wouldn't spend $500 plus shipping to repair it, it sounds terrible.
Here's my install. Everything works, plus Appleplay/Bluetooth/Handsfree, has a backup camera.
