my car also shut down on Sunday morning while driving. Its also running autronics. Got stuck near the WACA with Daryl (CDog). A couple of rexes went by and stopped to lend a hand (big thanks Morgan and Kevin!!)

Anyway, check the error code of your autronics. there should be a red light on the computer itself or your CEL if it is connected to the computer. Mine threw up codes 34 - "SYNC" Refernce Pulse I/P Missing & 43 - "SYNC" Error Detected While Engine Running. Go to this site for the codes http://www.autronic.com/

Gave it a push start as the battery went dead while trying to crank it. It started and was able to drive home.

Anybody know what the SYNC error on the Autronics means?

Cheers
