Loosing IPod Connection
I have the PAL with a Gen 3 IPod. It has worked perfect until this past Sunday. I was coming back from Carlisle and when I got in the car to come home, no connection. I unplugged the IPod and reconnected and it worked. An hour latter it stopped working after the Nav override. I was using the Nav to get home. I stopped and disconnected the IPod and it worked again. I turned the Nav off and it was fine for the rest of the trip. Have any of you guys had this problem and is there a fix?

I had a rare problem like that and either doing that along with a reboot of the device plugged into the port typically fixed it.
I currently just use a bluetooth adapter on it so I can wirelessly connect and it's been a non-issue. I can't stand Apple but the iPod that was gifted to me I used in there used to give me problems like you described.

Have you guys noticed that using the Nav causes it. Mine had never done it until this past weekend and I was using the Nav. They last time it did it, the Nav took over to give directions and there was no music when the Nav finished.
So what Bluetooth are you using and how are you hooking it up?

I use my Nav all the time with my IPhone connected. About the only weirdness I get is that sometimes my IPhone randomly starts all over playing songs. It is like I just randomly picked another song, right in the middle of the one I was listening to and changed.
I am curious about your bluetooth question since the PAL is not related to bluetooth especially if you are plugging it in.
There is a guy on here from time to time, Ray Kawal, he has a web site and he seems to know everything there is to know about how the GM PAL works.
Check with him if you can.

We have the Ipod connected through the GM PAL (version 1) and Kawal's installation harness. He's the guy who knows everything about this system.
