usb port killed my iPod mini This is my second complaint about this vehicle's interior accessories/systems just a month or two after buying it, and otherwise I do love driving the truck and everything about its exterior and performance. I know the manual says that the USB interfaces are only compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, and doesn't specifically mention my old iPod Mini... but you wouldn't expect that the car would end up destroying the iPod! The Mini actually worked fine for a few days, it played like there was no issue. I used the iPod's USB-to-wide connector cable that came with all Apple devices back then. So I left it plugged in the car to be used each time I took a long drive and automatically stay charged up. When the car is shut off the USB ports are powered down, I presume, so what harm can there be? And USB is a standard 5.0 supply. Suddenly one morning I found that the iPod was totally dead, no life, wouldn't take a recharge even on a regular USB port or wall adapter. So I conclude that the car destroyed the battery completely or fried some circuit inside by overcharging. There needs to be a warning in the manual of what will happen if you plug in the wrong iPod. Otherwise you only expect a device to not work with the car's USB port--you don't expect permanent damage! I hope that my car's USB port circuitry wasn't damaged as well. In my opinion GM owes me a new iPod, but they can't replace this one because it was a special gift I got years ago with engraved metal case.
