Has anyone had their radio malfunction?

Just as I was leaving the dealer today my radio crapped out on me! Apparently they just need to reflash my system... just curious if this has happened to anyone else...

I've heard of this issue happening when ambient temps get high. Apparantly the OEM HU is going into a protect mode of some kind. I haven't experienced it myself though.

Mine's never crapped out but sometimes it stops playing when I text (I'm pulled over to the side of the road of course), as if I'm making a call...?

The other thing is that when it's on STAR 101.9, I always get echo/feedback in the background; serious echo. Only on STAR though...???

I've noticed reception for 101.9 isn't so good in general. My radio constantly switches back and forth from HD to analog trying to find a good signal when tuned to 101.9. It gets somewhat irritating at times.

I completely agree. People always ask if my radio is broken.

I gave with HD radio on the island, I just turn it off. Sounds better and more consistent.
