If you have a free day it probably wouldn't hurt to drive by the dealership and talk to them about it, I am sure someone there has some sort of way to beat them into relative submission. If you actually like reasonable sound quality and music odds are even a mid tier aftermarket head unit will be both vastly superior sound quality wise and easier to figure out.

My wife's 17 Impreza has the upgraded, top of the, bestest of the best, super-duper, extra $5,000,000,000, ultra great, optional 10" HU in it. It has been back to the dealer 6 times because it just stops working or there is a recall on it. About 10% of the time when you start the car it freezes up on the load screen just to decide to reboot 30 seconds before you shut the car off at the end of the drive. The phone connects or not like some electronic version of Deal or No Deal. Sometimes it decides it is 1 PM (no other time always 1 PM) at 6 PM (always 6 PM) and all in all is the simply the biggest piece crap electronic device I have ever dealt with. And I have dealt with some pretty crappy electronic devices in my day.
I have never once had any issue of any kind with the stock Pioneer unit in my 14 FRS. Not a single hic up.
