PAL problems
Having a little problem with my PAL device, which was installed about a year and a half ago on my 2006 Vette by an audio person working for the GM dealership here.
I believe it's one of the older versions of PAL and it's connected to a newish iPod Nano.
The problem is that the iPod stops playing about two minutes after starting the car. The touchscreen looks like the normal PAL interface except that it reads " :STOPPED " at the top where the song info is usually displayed.
When i open the glove to check out the iPod, it's definitely not recognizing the PAL. The iPod shows as charging, off or the menu screen. When I hit play manually on the iPod, music comes through the stereo EVEN THOUGH THE TOUCHSCREEN IS STILL FROZEN.
It then plays for a minute or two and then stops.
Any idea what is going on?
Tx in advance.

We've had a PAL in our 2009 for about 3 yrs/50k miles. Maybe 3 or 4 times per year it will simply stop playing. Sometimes it says "Stopped", sometimes not.
In either case, unplugging it from the PAL cable and then re-plugging it solves the problem for another few months. But i have no idea why.

good suggestions. I also emailed KAWAL who sells those devices. Even though I purchased mine from a GM dealership and didn't purchase it from him, he was very helpful.
How is that for service? What a nice thing to do.
