iPod Nano : Automatically PAUSE / turn OFF when car turns off? (Dock Connector)

(1/3) > >>

irfan:
Ive just started researching rockbox and have been thru a lot of posts, and also did some searching, but i couldnt find this answer.  Im aware that the rockbox firmware on ipods cannot control much thru the dock connector but does support line out.  

I have a belkin autocharger that connects via the dock connector of my 1G Nano 2gb, this also acts as a line out from the ipod.  with the stock firmware when the car shuts off the ipod automatically pauses, and then after a minute it goes to sleep, which is nice. when i start the car i need to press play on the ipod, it doesnt auto resume.

with the rockbox so far ive noticed that when i start the car it starts playing automatically, this is nice... and the line out works fine.. but when i shut the car off the ipod does NOT automatically pause.  I know you cant send play/stop controls thru the dock connector,  but is there a way for the firmware to make the ipod pause upon the car shutting off?  like it sees there is no power coming thru the dock connector so it goes into pause mode?  for now if i want to use rockbox i need to rememebr to press pause everytime i get out of the car.

i didnt know if this was a feature that was impossible for now, or one that people have just overlooked so far?  I didnt see the option in any menus.. just "pause when headphones unplugged"..  but im not plugging anything into the headphone jack, just the dock connector.  the system knows when its getting power since it turns on, so when it stops getting power can it turn off?

Thanks for reading,
Irfan

There is a 'Car Adapter Mode' in [menu]>General settings>System. I do not know if it has been implemented on the Nano, but it does exactly what you are looking for on my H120 :)

question: there are some patches available to address this issue.  Being that this is the only bug that still irks me on a daily basis I was wondering what steps need to be made in order to have this problem addressed.
