7th gen Nano pauses randomly using aux port in car
I've seen a similar question in one or two other posts but I didn't get an answer and I wanted to express exactly what I'm experiencing.
It's as simple as the title states. When I'm using headphones, I never have a problem. When I'm using my aux cables with my portable speaker, I never a problem. However, I tried using two different aux cables in two different cars and randomly the songs will just pause, almost as if the aux cord disconnected and the iPod simply paused the music the way iPods do when the headphones get pulled. It usually happens at least 2 times per song. My car stereo has an iPod-friendly usb port and I have tried using my usb charger to connect to the stereo, which works fine with no skipping, however the stereo iPod control is simply obnoxious. I want my aux port to work so I can listen to any artist I want to without clicking through all 12 gigs of music. My iPod Nano 7th gen is only about 2 months old and I checked to make sure it is up-to-date on the latest firmware. The only thing I haven't tried that I can think of is resetting to factory defaults, but I simply can't imagine why that would solve my problem. If anyone legitimately thinks it will help then I will try it but I'm mainly looking for new opinions and suggestions.
Thanks for reading.
