Fuze V1: car adapter mode not working

I posted this a couple weeks ago in the hardware forum but didn't get any response, so I thought I'd give it a try here.
-------------------------------------

Is car adapter mode expected to work in RB 3.7.1 on a Fuze V1?  I was trying it today and it seemed to work the very first try, but has not worked since.  On the first try playback continued while connected to the USB car charger and paused when the car was turned off, as expected.  However, after that first apparently successful try, anytime I connect to the car charger the player stops playback and goes into USB connection mode (where you get the USB plug graphic on screen and all the controls are disabled - like when connected to a PC).

Is anyone else successfully using car adapter mode with a Fuze V1 or is this feature not quite stable yet?

This sounds like a bug in the USB driver that was fixed a couple months back on the Sansa players.  Try a current build and see if its fixed.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and post results.

Sorry it took so long to reply.  I've been really busy and didn't get a chance to install the latest daily build and test this again until a couple days ago.

Anyway, the USB connectivity issues seem to be worked out now and it behaves as expected.  However, I'm getting a lot of squelchy noise now when connected to the USB charger.  I don't remember noticing anything like that previously.  Anyone else have noise problems with a USB car charger?

saratoga:
Usually that means your charger isn't properly isolating the player from car's alternator.
