not sure if this is a repost, but we have been having some issues with the stock radio as of late. Sometimes, it will work fine, other times only some of the controls will work, other times non will work. any recalls yet?

 

Not that I know of. Out of curiosity, do you have the premium 6 disk system?

 

I hope my radio doesn't mess up. Mines been doing great.

 

It's nothing major if it does stop working. You're under warranty so just take it back to the dealer and they will put in a new one. I went throght 3 stock 6 disc stereos in my Mustang. Discs kept getting stuck in it while ejecting so I made them keep replacing it untill I got one that worked correctly. Thats what the warranty is for.

 

True. And my dealership always gives me a nice rental car and I get to spend their gas instead of mine...hmm now i want something to go wrong. :p j/k

 

Has anyone else noticed the auto volume is a bit annoying and drastic in change. When you reduce your speed the sound seems to cut out all together. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

My stereo only has one volume, all the way up! I never turned on the auto volume. My past two stereos before my HHR also had it but I found it to be annoying in the past so I didn't even try it in my HHR. Plus like I said, at least 95% of the time I am at full volume and it still isn't loud enough for me.

 

What I noticed with mine is that there is not enough volume and the fade between front and rear is not the greatest. I think a better set of speakers in the back would remedy this. As far as reception, it is far better than my wife's '02 Mustang. No problems with it cutting out or anything like that -- so far.

 

Before you spend a bunch of dough on rear door speakers, read my post HERE.

Might save you some money - as the head unit is "lacking power" in the rear speaker outputs.

Hope it helps,
