that sucks... The USB in the arm rest is sketchy... I love to use my iPod and its always crackling and having a bitch of a time connecting quickly. My older RER was great! Loved the dedicated iPod hookin.
I feel like they effed up a bunch of stuff with the center console USB port.
#1 doesnt retain random song setting when you shut car off.
#2 doesnt retain song info setting when you shut car off. Reverts back to picture view.
#3 iPod restarts the song you were on last or just goes to song one after shutting car off.
On the RER all these settings saved fine, and the iPod picked up where it left off. Hope the RHR on the new rig is better.
