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.

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.

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