so the car just left the shop, and again I hang in my head in shame and in sheer frustration. They are now blaming the Ipod for the problem and it's genetic faults causing this problem. I called the tower manager as the service manager is away on vaca, and explained to take the ipod out of the equation and just plug in ANYTHING with an aux connection to get the problem. And the service writer that sat in the car with me when I duplicated the problem even agreed that wasn't normal. SO now to alieviate the stress of this I now have to spend $120 for the Ipod connector that plugs into the back of the deck and runs into my glovebox????? Why bother stating this is an IPOD jack if it isn't!!!!
