Cars + Rockboxed iPods, the definitive post

<< < (5/5)

Falco98:
3.5 seems to have introduced one major bug into playback via the Scion ipod port.  Playback still works, but if the player is turned on by being plugged into the car connection, it *always* displays "ipod connection error" on the car's display (and refuses to work) - the workaround is to reseat the cable into the ipod, at which point it starts working properly.  In 3.4 I occasionally had the issue, though it was intermittent and rare, and I got the impression it may have been from me plugging it in sloppily or something.  With 3.5 it happens every single time.

[slightly OT]I like the iRiver H1x0 and H3x0 for this purpose. My H140 is stashed away safely in my glovebox with the line out connected to the aux-in on the radio and the remote control is velcroed to the dashboard. The display is hard to read, but I usually play my full collection in shuffled mode anyway. Sometimes I drop out of shuffle when I want to hear a whole album.

The H140 basically never leaves my glovebox. It's been there for ~5 years, most of the time running rockbox (which was a big improvement).

What's surprised me is that the player and drive have taken the permanent car environment (alternating heat/cold/moisture) without any problems. The only visible part is the remote and apparently nobody's ever considered that worth stealing...
