I'll try playing with mine more inside to see if I can get it to happen outside the car with mine. I use the buttons on the front for everything now, since my remote disappeared. The only thing I saw different in my usage patterns is that in car, I adjust the volume the most, while inside, I use the buttons for navagiting the menus to play songs.

I will also be adjusting the amp, as 0db was a bit loud. I found this out by suprise from a bug I created. I have mine play a startup sound on boot, and disabled it for the installers. I then got my car back with the newly installed empeg, hooked up a serial cable, and restored my sound. One thing I never noticed is that the sound player I compiled plays back at 0db. It was a rather scarry moment to be parked testing it out, and hear the startup sound that loud. After that, the empeg has stayed out of the dock until I got back into it at home with no audio.

My empeg site is:http://24.236.3.131/empeg/
