I have tried all your suggestions (battery cables, etc.)
I have tried all the display options 6->2/3/5/6/7. None of them works consistently.
The iPod doesn't have to be left overnight. I can't get it to Attach/Start after running into the office for a meeting.
Often the text is stuck at "TR( TR" or something to that effect. The music plays just fine and the track up and down still work. The lockup of text will occur whether the text is displayed on the dash or the Navi display.
Is there a software update on the horizon or is this unit just bad?
