Cold ipods

check the manual for the ipod's operating temperature range.

an ipod sock might help, but not indefinitely. just try to keep the ipod out of the cold as much as you can.

create a strap that connects the ipod to your "unit"

it will stay warm all the time! and with it being so cold outside, the temperature should even itself out and it won't get too hot OR too cold!

i was using mine out side i was about 15f and i had no problems

lol, maaybe, but he'd probably need an ipod mini for it to be snug on his "unit." a regular ipod would be to large.

oho, snap! lol :P

jk man :)

Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m) WTF? i used mine in a plane at 35,000 feet.
still works fine.
why would it stop working at 10,000 feet anyway?

ah that makes sence, i've been typing an essay on frankenstein for the past 3 hours so my brain isn't working properly.

my screen turns different colors in the cold, but still works fine lol i just came to this tread to post this today walking home form school i noticed that parts of my screen where a purplish color but it went away when i got in side

the only problem I've had is that at around 15 degrees F the headphone wires get really stiff, and it's really a pain.

Only side effect that ive seen walking around with my mini in the cold about 5 degress Farenheit is the screen turns funny colors and where the headphone is closest to the screen is reg color

I have never experienced taking any form of hdd's outside(at least not when they are in use). Right now the temperatures outside go as low as -15c. When i get my ipod(next wednesday!), i am afraid i might leave it in my car and it freeze. Is it possible for it to get cold enough to not play? If so, would ipod socks help keep it warm?

Don't leave your ipod in the car, cause a crook like me might take it, plus the sock will not keep it protected. The sock might keep it from being exposed to the sun if you leave it on the dash board, but it will not keep it warm. Here is why, your body generates heat which is released by your skin. Clothing keeps this heat around your body longer, in turn keeping your warm. The heat dissipates leaving you colder if you don't move around to keep blood flow to generate more heat. That being said. Your ipod generates heat from the battery keeping it warm, plus the metal backing of the ipod itself will heat up. Again this is only good for a short period of time as the metal backing will dissipate the heat quickly when in an environment as cold as your car. Will it freeze? Not too sure, but it might effect the ipod or the battery itself.
