Q: iPod stops operating after 3 hours of vehicle use

I have an iPod Gen 5 with IOS 8.4. When I use the iPod in my 2013 Chevy Tahoe with a Bose entertainment system, it just shuts off after three to four hours of continuous play. At that point, I have to disconnect the iPod from the vehicle (USB to Lightning cable), and then reconnect it. It will then play again. Although, after the disconnect/reconnect process, the shut-down will often occur again, only with more frequency.

 

I am familiar with the other related issues with "snapping and popping" and garbled sound. In following those threads, it was related to IOS 9. Those threads indicate the problems have corrected IOS 9.3.x. I experienced the same problems and removed IOS 9 and replaced with IOS 8.4. It solved those problems. I am hesitant to upgrade my IOS if that is not the problem.

 

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you.
