I have the car adapter mode deactivated and I don't have any cable plugged
in.... but it just restarts instead of shutting down. No idea why this
happens. Also, I don't press any buttons but the PLAY button once, because I
want to execute the Shutdown function, of course...
And btw: When I have my Jukebox plugged in, so it's charging, I can't turn
it on. I have to remove the charger first, then wait for it to boot and then
plug the charger in again...
