Ipod connection question
hi - I have a new E350. The forums have been incredibly helpful. I have an old ipod that i've loaded with all my song libraries and want to leave connected to the ipod cable in my car 24X7 so i can listen to my music while driving. Is it ok to do this? Will it drain the battery or does the charging function shut off when the car shuts off? Thanks

The cable that comes with 2010 should charge the older ipod and place it in pause mode when the car or audio is off. It should not discharge.
A Newer ipod needs the updated cable or aftermarket adapter.
I have not experienced discharge of the Ipod or Car Battery and I leave the ipod attached in the car 24/7.

I got my E350 about 2 weeks ago (just delivered from factory) and the factory supplied cable will charge my iphone 3GS. Thanks, however, for the details on those little adapters as I ordered a few to make all those old generation charging cables I still have useful again
