This happens every once in awhile with mine too. You can reset it. I printed out the instuctions on how to do this and taped it to the back of my iPod.Crab Killer said:My Ipod works great off the battery but not off the bikes power. Yesterday mine had a major melt down. Just froze up while riding down the road. I could not even turn it off. Had to leave it on until the battery went fully dead. OK now, but very strange. This is the second time this has happened on the bike.
Make sure you have the latest unit software. My 30 GB used to do that too, and not only on the bike. I updated the unit software a couple of years ago (not i-Tunes, the firmware in the iPod) and it hasn't done it since. I always put the Ipod on a cushion of soft foam rubber in the bike and use a RF remote to control it.Crab Killer said:I tried all the above fixes and nothing worked. My I pod just sat locked up half way through a song with the back light on. I tried hooking it up to the computer after doing all the button resets. The computer would not see the Ipod as well. I ended up waiting for the battery to go completly dead. Once that happened it was fine after the charge. I would bet it was the rough ride that did it in. The foam idea will be my next project. The only time I have problems with the Ipod is in the bike. Still waiting to get the ground loop isolater. They were out of stock last time I checked.
