A question about AUX

[Opus51569]

I generally leave the radio on and use the auto shut-off feature to turn it off when I turn off the car and open the door.

I have an iPod shuffle that I'm going to use to supplement the radio. When I plug in the AUX port it connects automatically, and I can push the Radio/Band to switch back to the radio.

My question is whether keeping the iPod plugged in to the AUX port draws power when the car is off. I'd like to just leave it plugged in 24/7 but I don't want to drain the battery if that's an issue.

No. The aux port doesn't draw any power. I asked the same thing and my dealership told me know. Maybe there wrong though

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm also wondering if the car is running, or if I use the USB port, will it charge the iPod?

The USB will charge it, but the aux won't

Excellent. Thanks, again. So I assume it works the same way as the AUX in that it will kill the power when the car is off rather than continuing the charge?

Nevermind. I think I found the answer here: http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/t624/
