Hi,
I am feeding my IPOD from a switched wire that is on when the car key is on ACC or ON position. I made an adaptor using a 7805 chip.
The sequence of the key switch is OFF-ACC-ON-START.
When I start the car, the IPOD goes on automatically along with my Alpine amplifier. I can then choose the music I want to listen.
When I turn ignition off, the IPOD turn off.
When, for instance, I stop for refilling the gas tank, I stop the motor but I leave the key to the ACC position so the music continue to play.
Until there, everything is fine.
But for the one second or so it take to restart the engine after filling, the IPOD is not feed by the ACC wire so it "reset itself" so to speak loosing the song that was playing and the directory I was in.
Now, I need a way to keep the IPOD on ( 5 volts, 60mA ) for just the short delay that it take to start the car.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks!
Alain
