I recently hooked up the AVIC Z2 and also the ipod interface about two weeks ago. Recently I have been experiencing problems with my car battery going dead. When I jump start the battery seems to be charging, however, the battery is dead the next morning. Is it possible that I screwed up the installation? Thanks.

It could just be that the battery has a bad cell; I would suggest that you get the battery checked out at your local Auto zone or somewhere. I don't see how the unit would be drawing the power down if it powers down when you turn the key to the off position. .....The unit does turn off I presume? As long as power drops from the ACC (Red) wire when the ignition is off, that should kill the unit and the fan.

Thanks. I'll check the battery.

Do you have an ipod in the car?
