    The stock radios must be terrible, mine randomly shuts off on it own and I've noticed when playing my music through aux it is now extremely quiet.

    Ya, I have an "09" the radio was never very good, it would turn on & off at will, I started to get the "Scrambled" screen that is when I purchased a new radio, I hated to spend the money, but it was well worth it. jmop

    My truck did not come with Bluetooth or a backup cam which I would have liked, so now I do.

    I don't know if it's shitty soldering or weak heat sinks or what, but I've seen many of these examples happen in hot weather, the radio appears to have about a 4 year life before needing replacement.
