yea it is under warranty and i have to take it in tomorrow morning for them to get some code out to order it... apparently they don't try fixing them... i've been trying to bribe the guy in to getting me a 07 unit so i can get my XM and I pod connections installed... lets see how it goes... keep you guys posted.
Typically (from experience TWICE on my past Subarus), dealerships just swap units which typically are NEVER in stock. They usually look, say "yeah, we need to replace it", and a week or two later, the new one comes in to the dealership. They then will call you a couple days later to schedule your appointment.
If CDs are stuck inside the changer as I've experienced, they will NOT get them out for you at the dealership. Instead, they send the changer to the manufacturer after they swap it for you, and after several weks, the manufacturer will retrieve the CDs and send them to the dealership. The dealership will then either call you to have you pick them up or will just mail them to you. Each CD comes in a plastic sleeve in a bubble-wrapped envelope.
When this happened to me, I was devistated. One of the CD's in particular I had just gotten the day before and had been awaiting it release for over a year. I suddenly founf myself without it for a long period of time and was especially bummed since I only played through the entire thing once when the player failed. Long story short, be ready for a wait if the CDs are stuck. I sure hope you dumped them onto an Ipod when you first got them (I always do following my expereince).
As for the upgrading to '07 thing, I'd highly recommend it. Please let us know how it goes as i may try the same thing when mine craps out inevitably (I still use it a lot since the '06 has no Ipod inputs that can be used when my kids are using the rear entertainment system).
if you want it under warrentee it has to be a direct swap. I was kind of bummed. Can't hurt to ask but I'm guessing the answer will be no.
