It's weird. At least once a week my iPod which I keep in my 550 will freeze and stop working. I do a reset but it takes me at least 10 trys and I often have to hold the button in for several minutes in order for it to work. I used to think it was caused by the cold or heat but it happens equally in both. I have reloaded my software and no luck either. I do have about 23,000 songs so it is pretty full but I have about 20G left so it really should be fine. Anyone else have this problem??

Have you tested it outside the car? Obviously, something is wrong. I have a 30G Ipod video that I've never had to reboot. I do not have the ipod retrofit...just speaking to the ipod itself. I hope it is the ipod so you can just get a new one! Good luck.
