iPod adapter not charging Nano or iPhone

[Duncan]

This may, just may, leave the amps and WS-420 powered up. Hmmm.

I will check for power to the amps and WS420 when the head unit is switched off this weekend.

Also, I have a fuel flow meter (wired behind the perko) so cannot shut off the perko regularly.

So the WS420 and the amps power on/off according to the head unit power.

Recall I was interested in the fix for two reasons: one, eliminate the stereo shutting off when turning off the boat for riders; and two, solve the iPod/Nano drop problem.

The first is clearly accomplished.

Re drop, the stereo can still "lose" the Nano -- sound continues to play but you cannot advance tracks from the remote and the song does not display. Unplugging and replugging the Nano solves. It only happened once and the music still played until I fixed it.

Great feedback, thanks!

It wasnt mentioned here, but I think it was in a different thread somewhere, but is the Nano running the current firmware? Just a thought.
