Stereo freezing up

Stereo freezing up
Has anyone else had a problem with the touch screen stereo freezing up?
Sometimes the sound will not work, and sometimes the stereo will not let me change the channels. Even when I use the voice command it will not work. This will happen 2 or 3 times a week. If I turn off the truck for a few min. then turn it back on the stereo works fine... until the next time a few days later.

I was having a similar issue. When I listened to FM station 105.5, it would lock up the entire system. No sound and I couldn't change stations unless i pulled the fuse. The only thing that would work was Sirius channels. I was running 9.292 and am now running 9.227. I questioned it on www.mofv.com/mygig/ and clicked on the "LIVE SUPPORT" button, and they mailed me an update disk within a week no charge. I just upgraded it tonight, and so far so good.
I should also specify that I have the REN non-navigation radio.

Hmm... I've had this happen in a few different situations. Sometimes it will freeze and not let me change FM stations until I restart the truck. Other times it won't let me change audio modes. Never consistently the same type of freeze and it happens to me maybe once a month? I've never upgraded the software.

Similar .. yesterday Sirius stopped working saying it was looking for satellites. I was in a clear area where I never lose signal. It was odd because as I changed through the satellite channels, it updated the info of what was laying on each, but it never did get audio back until I stopped some after I turned the truck off and back on (some 45 minutes later).

Me too Pinch and I swapped radio to a REN from a RES and well Sirius keeps calling me to reenlist but why would I bother I hope this thing goes for ever LOL. When it quits I will start it, I know if it was my subscription they would transfer it but since its not and I think it is a loaner car one where it works alll the time. We shall see, no matter this month is the end of my free year. I have version 9.293 which I am told is unavailable, when I have it I would have to ask the guy I bought if from It came from the factory like this since there is even a sticker on it 9.293, on top of another sticker, I tried to peel the sticker but it wont come off anyway it shows this version on the radio too on the screen. I don't have the disc for it wish I did cuz I want to try the new lockpick 3.0, there was a 2.5 then they went to 3 in a month or so it seems. it is upgradeable like the other one out there vie usb.
