Default Cold...

We had our first deep freezing temp today. -18C hit us like a brick when I woke up... and I am not exactly happy for 2 reasons - the cold... and the MyGig...

Ran my car for ~15-20 mins before I left for work - and the damn radio didnt turn on. My tire presure gage was screaming at me that the pressure was low, and when I opened my door I got snow on my seat :P The last one is my fault.

By the time I got to work (10km), my wheels were fine, and the sensor read proper pressure - but my deck never came on.

I started my car for 45 minutes at work (3 cycles of the comand start) before I left for lunch, and the only thing that bitched was my tire pressure - the deck was back on.

*mutters*

Sounded like me this morning.. Well no snow.. but the deck wasnt turning on as was leaving for work.. So I shut the car off went back in for my tools to remove the radio and when I started it again the deck came back (Slowly).. Just what I love to do before I have to go to work .. Strip down my car.. but I need tunes while driving so.. Music above getting fired is my priority

If you ever have an issue where it wont come back, pull the radio.. disconnect it for 10 seconds, then plug it back in... I had to do that 2 times to get my deck working right.. Its geting to the point where im considering a switch to cut the power to the deck so i dont have to go through this anymore.

So I hit my defroster on the highway because my car was fogging up...

Driver side mirror warmed up to fast and split down the middle.

Fortunately usable but as soon as my business trips come to an end - the dealer is gonna get an earful of it isnt taken care of ASAP. Huge safety issue!

Did you use remote start when starting the car? I've had issues with myGIG and remote start. Sometimes the screen comes up with no text just the boxes and background color! I believe it was locked out and I couldn't do anything with the radio. I don't believe my issue was cold weather releated.
