IPOD via USB

Can you leave the Ipod on and permanently connected via USB when the car is parked up, or will it drain the battery on the car?

I always leave mine permanently connected in the armrest; the USB power is switched.

I thought that, as I can hear the Ipod start, but wasn't sure. Thanks

the iPod will continue charging for bit, not sure how long but it will stop after a bit. Thats what happens in both the F10 with an Apple Cable and F20 using the Y-Cable
