USA_Spec & car battery drain
has anyone here had problems with their car battery with the USA_Spec ipod interface installed?
i ask because the ipod is charged at all times, even if the car is off. how much drain would the ipod put on the battery?
i know i'm probably just being paranoid, but i've heard that the TSX battery is pretty weak. but could it be THAT week?

I thought i read somewhere that the USA spec charges the battery for an hour after the car is turned off to ensure that it is always fully charged.
is that the same thing?
Auto Charge - Charges iPod battery and auto stops after 1 hour of non-use.

I have a Honda Ridgeline and just had the battery replaced b/c it kept going dead. I thought it was due to the fact that it's a second vechile and I don't drive it for 4-5 days. But now that you mention it, I do have the USA-Spec interface. I don't even have a iPod plugged in most of the time and something appears to be draining the battery.

I am actually looking into this device, but can't see why it would even need to charge the iPod 1 minute after the car is turned off. I mean, the thing is charging the iPod when it is connected and the car is on, so why bother after it is off, too?

I recommend the USA Spec adapter, I really like how it works so far and haven't had any issues with it. When I first got it I had problems getting the iPod to work but I called USA Spec and they sent a new cable which resolved the problem. My problem is that it's installed in my second car which I only drive on weekends so something is draining my battery, just don't know what could be doing it.
