I'm encouraged to hear you aren't having the issue with the unit losing the last song. However, I'm still having the issue where it loses the lasts song on the
ipod when turned off and back on again. It plays the first song on the
ipod every time I turn the unit on. Very annoying.
I've emailed tech support and after 3 days of waiting on a reply they asked me what model cable I was using. I didn't know there were more than one. I'm using the KCAIP300V. I just called tech support and the first guy I talked to about it told me it is supposed to work that way. In other words, it wasn't designed to store the last song it played on the
ipod. I asked to speak to a supervisor and that person agreed with the first guy but took my information and will escilate it to their engineers and they will get back with him in 2 to 5 business days, argh! My unit has a sticker on the box that says UPGRADE CERTIFIED which indicates the firmware should be up to date. It sounds like there is a fix where it is a new cable or a firmware update. That would be good news because this is driving me crazy! I'm not impressed with Kenwood's tech support.
I have noticed something else with the unit. I noticed a humming noise when the navigation maps goes from day to night mode. The night mode has a hum that the day mode doesn't.
I also wished they would add a way to ramdomize the videos. I have over 700 music videos and I would like to play them in ramdom order rather than 1 artists at a time. Some artists in my collection only have 1 video so I'd have to select a new video every 5 minutes which is not desirable.
I wasn't aware of the unit playing all content including pod casts. I typically use play lists to play the music so that hasn't been an issue for me but I can see that it would be annoying.
