So, I've only had the Nitro a full 2 days and I noticed an issue with the MyGig/Nav radio.

1. Intermittent issue: When using Sirius, and pressing the page down button, it seems to 'stick' and not allow me to go page by page. It automatically remains highlighted and continues scrolling to the end of the channel list.
2. Intermittent issue: When plugging in my 1gb USB stick, it takes an abnormally long time to load all the songs.
3. Intermittent issue: When trying to delete all songs from the HD, it will state it's deleting files, yet will not allow any other radio functions while it's deleting. I've given it 10-15 mins to delete and nothing. After turning off the vehicle for a few minutes (got tired of waiting and went inside then came back out) nothing was deleted when I checked the HDD space.
4. Intermittent issue: Loading pictures via USB stick. The pictures will not load once the USB stick is recognized and brings up your Music, Pictures, Address Book options. They are all jpg/jpeg files, sized appropriately yet won't load. Seems to happen everytime. After giving it a while to try and load, then getting impatient, I turn off the vehicle. After that loading time, the stereo is hot to the touch.

General question. Has anyone had to have their headunit replaced? With this off and on stalling and the HDD getting hot enough to cause the panel around the nav screen to get warm, I get worried.

Still plenty of factory warranty left and I am taking it in to the service writer when I get to work tomorrow. I just wanted to ask first hand to other Nitro owners if they've had similar issues.

I don't know what caused my MP3's to show up this last time, but it seems when I took my USB stick back to the Nitro for another 1gb of music to be copied, it happened again and all functions cease. Except: for the use of Navigation.

it seems that it doesn't always recognize the USB stick properly. have you tried a different USB stick? I noticed also, that if you have other stuff on the stick, it gets confused too. I delete everything, then create one folder and put my MP3s in that and then it works, for me anyway.

let us know what the service people tell you!

It's a brand new Lexar 1gb memory stick I purchased last night.

It did have some sort of software installed in the stick that I wiped clean. It's just a plain jane mass storage device now. I keep everything in the main (what I have it as F: drive). I may create separate folders for pictures/mp3s.

cool...if you are trying to upload music, you should have a folder on the root with the name of the album or playlist. That's where it get's the name from. Mine didn't like extra folders and other files in the root for some reason.

Overheating is a software issue.
Since their is no ctrl+alt+dlt
it just sits and runs itself crazy.
Have them reinstall the software.

try this too

Also making sure you have the most current software update in your mygig should help some issues too. The most current version is 9.561

I do have some decent knowledge of the StarScan tool I occasionally have to use for some of the Pre-Owned Chrysler vehicles. While I'm at work tomorrow, I'll see if I can squeeze it in to my workload instead of giving it out to our electronics/software tech and check versions.

I'd like to learn a little more about it, so I may call him over and have him show me how to reload the SW.

Anyone have issues with their Auto-Color not working? My Nav screen used to go into Night Mode when the headlights were turned on. Now, nothing. I keep having to change Display modes.

The Auto-Color (Auto-Dim) function is connected to the control that operates how bright your instrument panel is. If you rotate the center section of you headlight lever back one notch, the Auto-Dim function should work again. If you have the the instrument panel set to the max setting, your NAV screen will stay bright no matter what.

Hope this helps!

NitroInATX: The auto-color stops working when you turn your inside lightning all the way up. Just scroll it down a notch and it will start working again.

You know, after I posted that....I thought *what the hell, I bet the max interior light setting is messing it up*

I have been loading music to the HDD via CD's and DVD's. It much easier to dump 4+GB of music on there with that, havent had any issues, although it takes a ton of time to dump a full DVD with 800 songs to the HDD, 40-50Mins, but it will finish copying the songs even after I have shut down the vehicle and left.

I had one of my fellow techs show me what he'd done while it was in serv. for warranty work. We ended up coming to the conclusion, even after the flash update and version update, that it would need to be exchanged. The OS (what I guessed) would freeze, causing the HDD to get warmer to the point that the head-unit would stop responding.

Better to be safe and replace it than it die on me midway through a weekend trip.
