Q: iPod Touch Shuffle Reset When Connected to Car

Hi Everyone,

I have a 5th Generation iPod touch. I load songs on and I have a very specific way that I use it. I turn on shuffle and listen through on random. The goal is that I only hear each song once or else I easily tire of songs if I hear them too frequently over a short amount of time. I have no issues when I connect the device to my Logitech iPod stereo at home. However, when I connect the device to my car's USB connection, it often resets the shuffle regardless of if I'm 10% through or 90% through. I had an older iPod Classic (6th generation) that would connect to the car and continue playing where I had left off when I last listened to it. However, I cannot seem to set up the iPod touch to do the same thing. Sometimes it does pick up where it left off, but at least 1 out of 3 times it resets, with no rhyme or reason that I can figure out. My hard-drive finally died on the iPod classic this week so, short of buying another old iPod on ebay, what steps can I take to fix my problem? Thanks in advance!
