I'm still testing different models for their ability to consitantly shut down when not in use. I hope to post my findings before my sanity is lost

I have a 2nd Gen iTouch 32GB and the scoche adapter. I'm pretty sure it sleeps just fine. If I check it in the morning after sitting all night the battery will be full. I do sometimes have to unplug and replug it...sometimes it says ipod not connected...but it seems radonm.
Not to thread jack...BUT. Does anyone have the menus refuse to take you to an artist or song? Sometimes I keep clickling with the steering wheel and it will eventually go. Other times i just back out of all the menus to the TOP iPod screen and start over and it works. Was gonna try with another ipod.

I'm still testing for the ipod sleep problem. The iPod models I've tried will not usually shut down with normal engine shutdown, which causes the iPod batteries to die in time. (Once the car is running and the iPod battery starts to charge, the head unit will switch to iPod without driver selection. iPod will show as "not connected" while iPod battery is dead.) So far it seems that there may be an issue with different versions of software in the head unit. Not sure. Acc shut down will cause most all iPod models to sleep in my late build '09 Sedan, however, not consitantly.
I'm still working on it and will post anything I find that may be of help. Please post or PM if you have info to add...

i have 2nd and 4th gen nano and neither of them shut off after engine shutdown. they always end up dead from sitting at night but start recharging when the car is started. wish that wasn't the case because you have to restart the shuffle everytime you start the car.

Original Video IPOD (30GB)
My IPOD Video does not shut off reliably. Found this out the hard way with the car sitting overnight. The battery was so dead it would not charge at all. Had to disassemble and charge the batter with a LiPo batter R/C charger.
I've been watching it since then and it seems like I always need to shut it off manually - a real pain.

Ipod newbie here. I'm going to buy an ipod to keep plugged into my 09 g37. I want to go on ebay and buy something that works. What is something cheap and reliable that will charge without buying special adapters? BTW- I need more storage than a nano.
TIA!
TIA!

If you want a lot of storage and something you cb leave plugged in, get the video iPod. I've got a 160gb video iPod (gen 2 I THINK) and I leave it plugged in 100% of the time with no problem. Just yesterday I got back from a 4 day vacation and the battery was @ 100%. I've never seen the battery low ever because it turns off right when the car does.
