Have had my G Sedan for two weeks now. Love the IPOD port - I can tuck the IPOD away in the console compartment and control IPOD on the dashboard screen. And, it recharges the IPOD battery. However, I went to retrieve my IPOD this weekend to bring with me for a workout. The IPOD battery was completely dead. After a little experimenting I found that, while the car charges the IPOD, when I turn the car off and leave the IPOD connected, the IPOD stays on (doesn't fade to off) even when music is paused. And, eventually, it loses all it's juice.

Am I missing something? I'd like to be able to keep the IPOD connected at all times and only disconnect when I need it. Is there a setting I'm missing?

If not, I either have to remember to disconnect everytime OR stop working out. I'm leaning to the latter.

Mine does the same thing if that helps at all...

I'm pretty sure the iPods will not shut off on their own. I have the factory kit for my 04 and my iPhone will not shut off on it's own either. I didn't think about that and went the lazy way on the install and just left everything in the trunk instead of running it to the console so I have to open the trunk to shut it off.

Thanks for the confirmations. I was hoping I was missing some easy setting adjustment but doesn't look like I am. Thanks!
