Radio freezing up on startup?

So I'm having a problem with my cars radio where it freezes up within 10 seconds of me starting it up. I can't change the channel, volume and all sound is muted along with a frozen display on my radio. After pressing just about every button on my car I learned that pressing the Onstar button will result in a "Thank You, Goodbye" message with everything functioning normally again. This problem only occurs if I have my auxillary cable plugged in though (I've tried using multiple auxiliary cables and they all result in the same problem).

My radio in the G8 freezes up once in a while on start up we have to shut the car off to reset it. The red and black lines almost look like static you see on a TV set.

Stuck on some spanish station.
I was expecting Hendrix or Joplin after seeing the display. :thumbup:

The salesman had me pull it right into service and told them it needs a new radio. But I shut it off and when they restarted it they said it was fine :noidea:

Didn't matter to me because it wasn't the car I bought.
No issues in two years with the Camaro I bought.
