Alpine 9886 HU.. iPod Cable Question I just installed this new unit in my Jeep, and I got the same one for my Trans Am..
Here is my question.. The HU came with a cable to connect to my iPod.. Ok that's great and all...... But why doesn't the cable charge my iPod??? It says something on the screen but forgot what

FYI.
*Note: The Full Speed cable will not charge the iPod nano (4th/5th generation) or iPod touch (2nd/3rd generation) without the Alpine KCX-422TR 12V-to5V iPod adapter (500KCX422T, sold separately). Apple firmware updates may change functionality results.

Here is another question that I have:
When I shut the car off (obviously radio turns off to) why is my iPod still running? Wouldn't cutting power to the radio automatically kill power to the iPod? I meant as soon as you plug it in with the cable it turns it on.....
So everytime I turn the car off, I need to physically unplug the cable from the iPod and turn it off?? Kind dumb isn't it?

Here is a pic of the iPod cable that comes with the radio and a pic of the back of the HU..
As you can see the blue portion of the cable, it plugs into that back of the femal plug of the HU
EDIT: Apparently there is a 7" cable from Alpine that fixes problem

I have had this same unit for a lil over a year now in my car and I tried to listen to a CD the other day and it just reads ERROR and wont play. Even tried CD's that I had bought from stores and still wont work. Any thoughts?
