Just a dumb question on this - did you happen to use the remote start on the car when this happened?
Not necessarily related, but I remember the night when I remote started the car at 1:00 am in the middle of nowhere and got in the car, turned on the lights and saw I had no gas in the car. I panicked. Then I realized that the key wasn't in the ignition yet and that's when everything registers. Once the key is turned, everything is a go. Could that by-chance have been the case?

A couple times using the remote start the radio would be 'half on', lit up, but sounded like it was off the station slightly. Turn it off and back on and all is well. Only happens with remote start, but not every time.

I just bought my HHR, its an 06 LT and the radio doesn't come on. The clock does, but the radio/cd player does not come on. I wonder if its just a fuse, or if something else is wrong. I'm having my step-dad look at it tomorrow (he works for a Chevy dealership in the service dept), but if he can't figure it out I'll take it back to the dealer and see if they can fix it. They should be able to, right? I bought it without a working radio, but its out of warranty so does anyone know how much it costs to have the dealer fix a broken stereo?
