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.

Have you tried changing the backlight settings on the iPod itslef after you disconnect?

My backlight comes on after I disconnect it too, but only for as long as it normally would say I touch the scroll wheel.

Which gen ipod do you have? And what is your time-out set to for the backlight? Mine is 2sec.

has anyone contacted apple tech support to ask them why this is happening?

It's funny actually, Scion says it's Apple's problem and Apple says it's Scion's problem. I have had my 3G 10Gig iPod for 2 years now, and now that the new iPod video (20 hour battery life!), it might just be time to upgrade.

Just a quick update. I did a factory restore on my iPod and the issue didn't go away.
