Well this one isn't as big an issue, but still the story is worth telling.

So I noted that over the past weekend, the ipod was rather loud when I started up the car, so I turned the volume off, removed the ipod and turned off teh car. I turned the car back on and the volume was at 20. I did this for about a half hour and had the same results. SO Monday morning I took the car into the closest dealership and mentioned that if it was the aux jack that it would mean a radio order and to let me know when it could be in. So the tech says I can fix it and off he goes. About 1hr later the car is ready to go and teh tech says I cleaned the jack and has had no issues. I leave the lot and the problem was the same. so I went around the block and pulled into the service bay and the writer looks at me and shakes his head. So he calls the tech back in and teh tech takes the car. Now I kept the ipod with me and was listening to it in the waiting room. The tech comes back in 15mins and says "it's your Ipod.... not sure why but the ipod is the issue... you need a new one...' so I said to the tech "how did you determine the ipod is the issue...?" and he tells me and the service writer well we ran the unit and the ipod is the issue. I then looked at him and said how did you test the ipod when I've had it the entire time??? and the tech get s mad and says it's your ipod and that is what I have made a note of.... so I stood there and started to get a bit heated and then started rather loudly that I am to beleive you diagnosed a car problem with an invisible ipod and determined taht is the problem. So I plugged the ipod connector into the jack and pulled the advisor into the car ans we set the radio to 0, turned teh car off and waited 1min, then turned the key on and teh radio was at 20... the tech just stood there, the advisor goes into teh service managers office and comes out with a smile and says your radio will be here here in the morning, come in and we'll look after you.


So yesterday we head in and get the new radio installed, the dash trim wasn't pushed in properly, it was scrathed, so the advisor went in and ordere a new bezel peice for me... still haven't checked the ipod connection yet....
