Burning the Fit's Battery
 
I recently bought an ipod with a broken screen for 10 bucks so I figured I could use it in my Fit Sport's USB plugin. My question is, if I leave my iPod plugged into the car at all times, will it drain the car's battery? Sorry if this is a newbie question as I don't know much about my car yet. Thanks.

It shouldn't. The radio is powered off when you turn the ignition off. so it should turn the ipod off too.

Only battery you will be using is the ipod battery. Many times I have left my ipod on and the ipod itself was dead and had to be recharged :)

So if my car is off then the iPod won't be using any battery right?

Leave the damn thing plugged in and find out for sure.

While you're at it, why not replace that broken iPod screen for cheap. Matter of fact, you can probably replace just about anything on/in it for cheap... complete with Apple parts and detailed directions. You got a $10.00 deal... make that deal even sweeter! :)

I do not see why not. It would be great for those cold winter mornings.

No but but the Fit will recharge the iPod providing you run the car long enough.
Thats what keeping my iPhone alive when I go visit my relatives in another town during weekends.

Or read the owner's manual. It's pretty clear...
