Which HU is it? The Alpines are fairly easy to remove; you take off the faceplate, use a small screwdriver to release the locking pins on each side of the HU, then slide it out. When it's out, you can check the wiring connector, and even replace the faceplate and turn it on... jiggle the wiring and see if it cuts out.

If the HU cuts out when the engine is off and the car is sitting perfectly still, I'd lean toward it being the HU though...
