Your original description can be a bit confusing.
Are you complaining about:
(1) player not powering off in-car?
This one. Although, I'm not complaining -- more that I'm curious about the cause, as it wasn't expected behaviour.
(2) player not finding hard drive?
Not really concerned by this -- it's pretty well covered by the FAQ. I've been seeing an increasing number of disk errors during playback over the last few months, but it's not high on my priority list to get fixed.
If (1), then CHECK THE AC/DC POWER STATUS from the Hijack menu. If it incorrectly shows "AC/Home" when in-car, then that should explain why it fails to power off correctly. The solution in this case is to replace the "AC" power jack (which contains the contacts to distinguish AC/DC).
Negative -- it's reported as DC. But the disk has (temporarily?) come back to life, so I didn't test when it's hung up. I'll try again when I'm getting the "no disk" error.
