Quick MDI question

[j123]

I get slight 'balance' issues as well... sometimes a song coming from left then right - but it's not a biggie for me. My main grief is that the iPod resets the next morning. I press the 'media' button on my 310 and it doesn't pick up from the last song, it plays the first song on the iPod's playlist (I'm really getting sick now of A-Team by Ed Sheeran). Or is this normal?

My RCD510 does this also. I've already accepted it as a characteristic glitch of the unit. I've also accepted that I will forever have to listen to A Punk by the Vampire Weekend upon start up.

Aaah... i realise what's happening now... the iPod remains 'on' when connected to the MDI cable - thus the battery eventually runs out, and the device re-initializes; playing the first song. Hunting around for a fix...

Possibly, but I don't think that's what's doing it. Any standard iPod (i.e not an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch) goes into a 'sleep' mode after a few minutes of inactivity, allowing it to go right back to where it was as soon as a button is pressed/connected to power.
On top of that, after a few hours the iPod goes into a 'shutdown' state, where a press of a button or a connection to power makes it have to start up again from scratch.

That's why if the radio is turned off for a few minutes and back on again the song starts where you left off, but if its off for a few hours/overnight it doesn't.

After much investigation and going through volkswagen.de software updates (and extensive use of google translate) I have come to the conclusion that we have to suck it on this one. As you say waking an iPod from 'deep sleep' resets the bugger and thus you can't resume from last played song.
