Does anyone know why when I start up my car the Ipod sometimes resets and sometimes it continues where I left off.

If it's an older iPod, it may be an iPod issue, rather than a sound system issue. I have an old 3G iPod with a dying battery. Sometimes, it'll just crap out and lose its place.

I thought I read on here (or one of the other forums) that the behavior depends on how long the car has been shut off...if it's been off for a short time, the ipod remembers where it stopped...if the car has been off for a long time (like overnight) it forgets..

Not sure if it is true since I dont use an ipod and therefore cant test the idea...

I would agree on the pointing the finger at the ipod. I have an iPod classic about 2-3 yrs old, and it works just fine. Always picks up exactly where it was when I turned off the car - even if I don't drive for a few days. I bet your iPod is dying - pull it out of the car and see if it can survive overnight on its own power. If an iPod is turned off, the battery should last for months...

I can leave my car off for several days and it starts where I left off. Then I shut it off for a half hour and turn it back on and it starts over. It makes me crazy since I have 2500 songs on there that I can't seem to get through without it starting over. My sales rep has the same problem with his A4 and he has no idea how to make it not happen.
