Default iPod Connectivity Issues

So I have a frustration when using the iPod in my car and actually I have the same issue in my Tacoma with the Entune and Nav as well. I like to just fill an iPod up with the music and playlists I like and plug it in and leave it. Problem is it takes awhile to start up. I don;t understand why because the player is paused and should automatically shut off but I get that sometimes it doesn't and it needs to power up before being recognized sometimes. But more often than not even when charged and connected my car doesn't recognize it. Then it does. Then it doesn't again. Does anyone else have this problem? Anybody find a solution besides opening my armrest up and unplugging and plugging the USB in again? It's like I need to insert a button switch inline on the cable to "reset" the iPod every time I need it.

I had to disconnect/connect the iPod every other time I drove my '13 GS also. I upgraded from the original radio software to the latest a couple of months ago and haven't had to disconnect since. You have to buy the NAV update and tell the dealer to upgrade the software at the same time as the maps.

Thanks Jeevz! Very frustrating indeed. I hate to have to upgrade the NAV for two reasons, one it's only 2 years old, and the two, I live on an island. I don't get to use 98% of the update
