Might be an idea to speak to City Subaru and see if they can have a look at fixing/replacing it.

Could it also be an issue with the format of the music your listening to?
I've had several mp3 files either pause, skip or refuse to play, which was replicated in another car stereo, turns out the issue was the encoding on the music.

You can upgrade your headunit and get a module that allows your to carry the steering wheel controls across.
If you have time free during the week I would suggest speaking to Macey @ Westside Car Audio in Cannington as he will be able to point you in the right direction.
