Technical Battery Drain/Windows Conncetivity

[Poondash]

Hiya all,

(Sorry if this should be in another secetion, do move accordinally if so).

Just a general Q, I have had a USB stick in my windows con. from day one, but today I've changed over to my iPod classic hidden away behind the dash (which nicely works without the B&Me adapotor) but I've noticed that the little USB light (on the windows con) stays on after I've turned the car off and walked away with it left pluged in.

Would this drain my batt?

I assume that cause the iPod has a battery it will act differently from a basic USB stick.

If so is it a matter of just unpluging the wire each time, which isnt the end of the world but just scuppers my plan of being conveniantly lazy?

Cheers, P.

The light will stay on for a little while after you leave the car.

According to the manual, you can conduct a telephone conversation for fifteen minutes via Blue&Me hands free after turning the ignition to STOP - so I suspect the Blue&Me unit is run for 15 mins before shutting down after a stop.

I was about to say, is it on when you return to the car half hour later etc
