car USB port connect-disconnect with iPod touch

Hi lllaass, again thanks for your help. I called Apple support and they had never heard of this problem. I am certain that there are no missing, bent or corroded contacts as it is able to update to iTunes and charge on my HP. In my opinion I'd say with 90% certainty I think it's the iOS update breaking compatibility.....it has to be....it doesn't work on two different cars that have an Apple USB jack yet it works on my PC......I'm pretty ******, and Apple recommended I return the iPod and get a replacement for $99....but what good will that do ? Won't this same issue happen with any iPod with the recent update? I think Apple needs to create a patch to fix this bug,otherwise I can't really use this. The only other option that MAY work is if I use the headphone jack and plug the iPod into the stereo.....but why should I be forced to buy more attachments because there is some software bug.

Hi lllaass,

So this morning I tried resetting the car setting, nothing happened. Last night I restored it to factory settings and still nothing, I also tried to reset the iOS device.....so far nothing. Not sure if I mentioned that I now am using a rental while my car gets repaired (Hyundai genesis) that also has an Apple USB port and this still happens. So I am totally lost. I feel like since it was updated this has been the case, connect/disconnect...repeat.....the only one I haven't tried is restore to new iOS device.....but I have serious doubts that will change anything. Could this be a bug with the iPod touch? It's happening in two different cars, and any USB wire I use doesn't matter, yet it connects fine to my PC to update. At this point I've resigned myself to only being able to use it in the gym.....I know it's not the actual port that's defective because this is happening in two different cars.......any further advice would be much appreciated. thx...T
