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

I'm assuming you mean that you can't use the patch to do your own build? I guess the only thing you can do then is wait for the developers to commit the patch...

See http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DevelopmentGuide for help on how to build it yourself.

oblib, I managed to successfully patch and compile rockbox in Linux.  Unfortunately, the patch you modified (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6940) to address this bug(?) didn't work.  When I shut off my car the player stays on and continues playing.  If it helps, this is the car adapter that I'm using: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069910_307492523,00.html  What I hope is to have my ipod either shut off or pause itself when I shut off my car.  (so it needs to somehow recognize when it's no longer charging)

Did you turn on the settings to enable car mode? To enable, go to settings->general settings->system->car adapter mode, and you can also look at general settings->display->lcd settings->backlight (while plugged in).

If you did that, did you get the most recent patch (the third one posted)? I wasn't able to find anything that indicated which power pins your adapter was using -- do you know if it uses the firewire or usb pins? When you plug the ipod in, can you see a little charging icon appear on the top of the menu screen?

This patch should enable exactly the functionality you want -- it pauses the player when power is disconnected, and if you choose the right settings, the ipod turns off after a set time of idleness.

oblib, sorry buddy I posted this too soon.  Originally I was using an older patch.  Now that I'm using your newest one I can verify that your patch does indeed work, as indicated here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6940?histring=car

I'm not sure what kind of connection my adapter uses.  If it helps this is what I have: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/shop/product/details/0,,2076_310070157_307492523,00.html  However, as indicated on your patch page I am recieving a kernel panic error when the unit attempts to turn itself back on during car adapter mode and I am forced to reboot the ipod.  If there is anything I can do to help clarify the reason for this error I will be happy to assist you.

Great work, btw.  Thanks a lot for your contribution.

Well, I can't recreate the bug, and according to the error, seems to be a stack overflow (Stkov) which could be caused by all sorts of things anywhere in the code. Unless someone else can point to what might be causing this, I can't help you. Sorry! Let me know (via the patch page) if you get any ideas.
