What do you mean, 'left it in the rear'? If you have not installed it and double checked all connections are seated and secured properly you get partial sound, drop outs and all sorts of wonderful features.

Keep in mind too, that the Ipod / Icelink needs time to respond to a command. If you cycle through a playlist or something too fast it can hang.
