Hello folks..new to this forum. A question regarding about IPODS. I have an 08 550i and i notice that my IPOD still charges eventhough the car is off. Now is that something normal ? Would it drain my car battery ? One dealer told me just to disconnect it when your not driving your car. Isn't that a pain in the you know what that you have to plug and unplug the IPOD ? Is this an IPOD ISSUE or A BMW ISSUE ? Any thoughts on this ? Thanks.

Car and Ipod should shut off when the cars goes to sleep mode. Think it's 30 seconds to 1 minute. I leave my ipod plugged in over night and haven't had issues starting my car in the AM. If you look at your ipod when getting into your car the ipod begins charging once the electronics are turned on..so it would appear as if it was on/charging the whole time....
I've been trying to get better at not leaving my ipod in the center console, especially since it's getting closer to summer time because I'm scared I will fry my ipod (ipod battery) if I leave it in the car on a hot day...
