Please, let's not forget/break the car adaptor mode. It's intended to
resume playback as soon the unit is powered by the charger plug.

Although I must admit I would not know how to "brute force charge" my

flat. There is probably a keystroke that erases all such settings all
will then failover to the charging screen.
