Hello guys, i know this has been debated numerous times, but i still couldn't figure out it works or not. So i want to know if the Dension Gateway Lite will start playing the track over every time i switch off the car, or will it memorise the last location of the song (minutes:seconds) and play...

I had this fitted in January and it has worked perfectly until a few days ago. I now get the Dension name and "ok to disconnect" everytime I use it on the Ipod screen. I have to disconnect the iPod gen 5 from the cable and choose what I want and then plug it in again. It reverts to the Ok to...
