Leaving Ipod connected, will drain battery?
so after taking my g37 journey coupe serviced for all of the battery issues, the battery dies again and Infiniti dealership tells me that the reason is because if you leave the Ipod connected while the car is turned off, it will drain the battery. Has anybody heard this before or experienced it?

Never experienced a problem and I leave mine connected all the time...sometimes it sits for several days to a week.
I don't believe there is any power to that connection when the car is off...

No power runs through the USB when the car is off. My old iPhone 3G has been relegated to iPod duties in the G so it stays in there, connected 24/7. The car has sat for 3 weeks without being driven which I was away for work, and the car fired right up when I arrived home.

Everyone here is right - for one there is no power to that connection when the car is off. And for another it's ridiculous to suggest that the tiny battery in the iPod could drain the car's beefy battery.

just to clarify about the ipod thing, i am using the Ipod interface cord where you can control it from the dash. I am not using an auxillary cord nor aftermarket usb cables. and yea i know it bs because i hooked up an ipod while car was turned off the charging icon didnt pop up on the ipod.

That's an interesting issue... I had my car charger for my phone connnected even with the car off and just recently over the lsat two weeks my battery twice in two weeks.
I noticed the charger cable was slightly exposed but not sure if that was the problem.
Either way I TOOK it into the dealership they said there was a bulletin on the 2009 journey battery problems and they swapped it out and i DIDN'T have to pay...
One of the tow truck guys told me the factory battery instaleld is cheap and not very good.

The only problem I have had by leaving my Ipod connected, is that fact that my Ipod drains itself more. I have a I pod touch which I use only when Im driving. So its not regularly used; so I notice the difference by when I use to unplug it after I get out the car.
