oem sound system problem

got into the wrx this morning, pressed "load" button and got ready to insert a disc. the screen then printed some nonsensical letters, like "ST" and the number 1, then froze! couldn't load a disc, can't get the radio to go on, no cassette, etc. Anyone have any ideas?? now i can't even get the screen to shut off?! it was working yesterday - car is 6 months old!! do i have to bring it in to service, or is there someway i can clear the system? thanks for any suggestions.

no surprise - the dealer can't help. they sent it back to the manufacturer, and as far as the window, they said the window needed a "grommet" which they also had to order. waste of two trips. but thanks for the response. seeya.

hey wicked - just about everyone has the window squeek. and actually, the name of the part is a "gusset", not a grommet. your dealer should replace that part, it has nothing to do with your mods! good luck.

I wanted to know if it really worked, other wise I wasn't going to waste my time taking my car in. And I want the know as ittle about my mods as they can. I know one get there, so he will not make me pay for they dumb asses working on the mods like other places have tried.

If the sound on your window comes from the front triangle piece all you have to do is push it(the triangle piece) in just a bit with the window down. I did this to mine about 3 months ago and it hasn't made a sound since. This seems top be a pretty common problem. Mine was also making alot of wind noise at high speeds, not anymore.-James
