I've been leaving my empeg in-car more often these days (and, no, I don't want to hear everyone's admonitions), and I've noticed something odd. Every time I turn the car off, the empeg shuts down to blinking-LED mode. I don't remember what I have the full turn-off time set to, but it's longer than I'm willing to wait around and watch. Everything seems right so far.

The thing is that, occasionally, I'll come back to the car after a good period of time, certainly longer than the turn-off time, and the empeg will still be blinking. This happens maybe 10% of the time. Even less often, maybe 2% of the time, I'll come back and the empeg will be caught in a boot-up loop, where it will show the logo, do some startup stuff and then, apparently, crash, then start over again.

To be clear, I make sure that every time I turn off the car that it does go into standby mode. And most of the time, it works right. But every once in a while it does not. I don't currently have any idea why, once it's seen that it needs to turn off, that it would not. It's not as if it's not getting the signal from the car. I understand even less why it'd be in a booting loop, as what would have caused it to boot up in the first place from standby/shutdown mode?

Any ideas?
