I helped my friend get a startup sound installed today on his empeg, and when we tested it out in the car, he showed me a rather odd glitch he can reproduce 100% of the time.

Step 1. Start the car, watch the empeg boot normally
Step 2. Pull the empeg out while the car is still running.
Step 3. Reinsert the empeg. LED stays on solid, VFD works fine and the music plays as normal.
Step 4. Shut off the car. Empeg goes into standby, LED pulses
Step 5. Start the car, empeg boots back up, or resumes, and the LED is off.

He did this twice for me, and he indicates it has happened ever since he had it installed in his car. He has always run 2.0 beta on the player, so I don't know if this would go away with 1.03. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on why it's doing this. It's a 10gb Mark 2a unit, everything else has worked fine in it.
