Will leaving my iPod connected (via s-video like connector & USB) in compartment drain the battery after switching the engine off?

It will be a hassle to turn it on/off everytime I get in/out of the car.

 

I keep mine connected 100% of the time, and it never causes any issues with battery drain. Of course, I drive my car everyday, so I shouldn't see an issue.

The only time I remove the iPod is to sync new music to it.

 

Thanks Will.
It's been plugged in for six hours now.

 

I've left my iPod connected for several months now, and I don't drive the car every day. Never had an issue! Enjoy!

 

i bought a usb stick 8gig for 15 buck have almost 1000 song n i leave it in there luv it,i dont need ipod

 

caly, do you see your songs on the PCM and little window on instrument cluster also?

UPDATE:

left iPod connected via iPod connection and USB in vehicle over night. turned on engine in the morning, iPod continued song from where it was left off the night before. no apparent battery drain.
