Exclamation 2007 6CD-MP3 Player Problems

I purchased my 2007 Screw in December 2006 and have had problems with the Head Unit. I traded in my 2004 Screw for the 2007 and immediately noticed a problem in the 07 head unit. Everytime I turn on my truck and expect the CD that I was playing when I turned off the truck to start off where it left off, the Radio comes on and I have to hit the CD button to Play the CD again, thus starting the CD again, this is very frustrating because I never get to finish a CD unless I drive around for hours. Another thing that I noticed is that sometimes the head unit comes on and it Displays an Initializing message, This is the mesage that you get when you remove power from the unit and reconnect it again, Furthermore sometimes the head unit does not want to play the CD's I have press the CD button a couple of times before it plays. Where I'm going with all of this you ask? Well it just to inform everyone about certain problems with the new 07 Model head units. I have taken the truck to the dealership which recognized the problem and replaced the Head Unit only to find out that the replacement did the exact same thing. So the Dealer Radio Technician called directly to the CD player manufacturer (don't know who that is) and learned that some Head Units are malfunctioning and are coming out with a replacement to correct it, as for now I have to wait till the replacements come out.

BTW my Father Inlaw also bought a 2007 Screw with the exact same 6CD-MP3 player and it does the same thing.

Best advice I can anyone dealing with this problem is to keep talking to the dealer and make them aware of the problem if they don't already know it. The dealer offered to replace my radio with one from a new truck off the lot if they don't receive the replacement ones anytime soon. I won't hold my breath though.
