2006 Command dead

Hey folks. It appears that my command has finally died for good. I was having issues where it would shut off for 20 or 30 minutes then come back on. Eventually it shut off and was off for nearly two weeks and then randomly came back on. This time it's been off for about 3 weeks. Tired of messing with it.

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem or not, but here is my question(s): I have seen advertisements on EBAY that claim they can fix any issue with the command system for about $200.00. Has anyone attempted this? They offer warranties of anywhere from 6 - 12 months. My other questions is weather or not anyone else has had this same problem and what your solution was?

You might consider some of the advertisers on these sites for an upgrade. They have identical replacement command units that have a new interface and screen look and you can also upgrade to flir etc.I would personally be hesitant to take the word of someone who can perform magic for 200 bucks...

Mine just suddenly started to act up. Shut off when I stopped for coffee on the way to work. Will only show the last satelite station I was on and no sound or back up camera.
Going to dealer with extended warranty, so will advise what they do.
Vernl, or anyone else, any more info upgraded replacement units?

As a follow up, the dealer uploaded updates to the Command unit and it seems to be working now.
