08 radio question

So I recently purchased an 08 Scab with the XTR Plus package.
It comes with the 6-disc, 7 speaker audio option.

Recently, I've been having a very infrequent issue with my radio.
While listening to the satellite, it will cut out every now and then.
I know this can be normal sometimes (when then antenna is blocked) but I have been noticing it more when I am driving down the highway next to farm fields.
Nothing above my head at all. I had a sirius kit in my old truck, and it never lost signal as much as this one does.

Second, I have also been noticing that the CD player sometimes stalls (lack of a better word) while trying to read a disc. The one that got to me today, was when I took a new CD out of the case, and the radio said it was a bad disc.
Baffled, I tried it again and it worked fine.

I'll probably be taking the truck in to have that fixed if it keeps it up.
The truck has under 3000kms on it, So I am hoping this isn't the beginning to a long relationship with my warranty.

sounds like some sort of internal error with your radio

bit early to get all doom and gloom though

Thats what I was thinking.
Once these issues started happening, I almost lost it.
I bought a new vehicle so i didn't have to fix my last ones.
I figured they would stay together better.

We shall see what happens though.
