installed ipod integration, battery dead, please help
looks to be the original battery from 2005. everything was hooked up right and worked perfectly. i drove home and chilled for an hour or so. i did leave my ipod on in the car but the car was off. i try to start and its dead, i jump it and it starts right up, i drive around again, come home, park, turn it off and try to restart and its dead again. usuall for the ipod thing to drain battery or do ya'll think the battery is just dead?

yup original battery, hope it was coincidence that it died same day i did the ipod thing. went to walmart, got a new battery and its fine, hope it doesnt drain overnight. im dropping it off at the dealership fri to have it looked at while im out of town. new car blues 
what interface did you use? was there a constant (+12V) accessory/ignition and ground wire to connect? if there was only a constant and a ground. try connecting the constant to an accessory. that way there will not be a constant drain on the battery. only foreseeable issue is that you can't charge your ipod when the car's off.

i too would like to know what the extra wires are for.... although i think one is for the unit that makes it so you can control the ipod through the steering wheel controls... but i dont know about the other one
