As the documentation states, when you turn off the car ignition, the Archos does not turn off but only goes into pause mode and lets the existing Idle Poweroff function take care of shutdown, so what I do is use a long Idle Poweroff setting such as 30 minutes. That way when I shut the car off for a short stop at the store, playback *is* started back up automatically when I start my car. Using long Idle Poweroff settings isn't really a problem since you are constantly charging the batteries while you are driving (assuming that you are not using the deep discharge option on the Recorder). There is a fairly simple hardware hack that can be done without having to open the Archos case and modify the Archos hardware which could possibly be used to keep the Archos in an even longer extended “powered up standby” mode using car battery power. Depending on the current draw, standby modes of many hours might be possible. There are probably better hacks that will allow you to remotely control the power on function if you are willing to open up and modify the Archos hardware, but if you have the ability and are willing do that, you probably don’t need my software hack for controlling playback stop & start. ===== Craig rb_dev_at_yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
