:huh: Hi all. Slight problem when connecting my Ipod through the car computer through the USB? I connect my Ipod and all works well for about 5 minutes. The message Ipod not initialized will come up and I'm unable to use the steering wheel controls. I then unplug the USB, and reconnect, exactly the same occurs. Any ideas?
