My unit was below freezing on the weekend. But (a big but) I didn't power it on until it sat in the house acclimating for a while. I don't normally leave it in the car, but I had forgotten it on Satuday while I was doing some cleanup and by the time I remembered I didn't feel like going back out to get it.

When parking at home, i don't see much reason for having to leave it in the car. If you have to part somewhere for a few hours, such as for shopping, restaurant, club, etc. then it's a different story. Not always convenient to carry the player around (in our out of a case for some people).

I'm not willing to gamble on the drives' survival when I can easily avoid it.
