Interesting. All I know is on my 6th gen ipod I can fully charge it, place it in the car where I have a daily commute of at least 1.25 hours a day, and the ipod will discharge after a few days. When that happens, the sound system will swap over to ipod mode regardless of whatever source I'm on at the time when the battery starts to juice up, and it will start recharging the ipod. the weird change source issue only happens when the ipod battery gets drained. If I reach in and manually shut the ipod down after turning the car off, i don't have the problem, so I know it's draining the ipod battery to let it sit all night (or day) by itself. I may try the sleep option on your link...that might fix the problem if I can tweak the settings to make it turn off after an hour or so since i rarely ever use it that long. I'd still rather not have the problem at all since the same ipod works just fine in the aftermarket Alpine unit I have in my old Maxima.

For me the problem started when I put the 3.0 software on my 1st gen iPOD touch. If I turn the engine off and restart it, the iPOD syncs up on the second try.
