I picked up my 06 tC a little over a week ago and did the iPod upgrade which the dealer installed. It works great and I’m really pleased with the car so far. The only thing that I just discovered is after I disconnect my iPod from the car, the backlight on my iPod no longer functions. If I reboot my iPod, it’ll function again until I plug it into my car again. It’s really more of an annoyance than anything else, but I was curious if anybody else has experienced this.

My iPod is a 10gig 3rd generation that is running the most current firmware available.

 

??? I don't have one, but my friends that do have an ipod hooked up to their radio don't experience this problem, hope sommeone gives you an answer.

 

Could be an iPod thing and not a Scion thing. I know my iPod after I use it in my FM transmitter sometimes it goes all crazy and the menu button stops working until I reboot it. I have heard of things like this happening a lot with iPods and external plugin charging accessories. That would be my guess but good luck with it...

 

I think it might be something with the generation of your iPod. I've heard that the iPod system is really for the newest iPods - or was made for them anyways.

Moved to ICE...

 

Never had that happen - I have a 15 gig 3rd Generation

Do you have the backlight set to come on automatically? I have mine turned off.

 

Make sure your ipod has the newest firmware...

edit: I need to learn to read. For some reason, car setups don't work well with all 3g ipods...

 

I've also experienced this and have a 20GB 3G Ipod.

 

has anyone called up apple's tech support and asked them why their ipod is doing this?

 

Apple says it's Scion. Scion says it's Apple. I might try to do a restore on my iPod and see if that fixes the issue, but I'm a little nervous because of some people have had their iPods not respond after a restore. It might just be time for a new iPod.
