I'm looking to put audio (books etc) on the device, not just music as I do a lot of driving. Does this pick up where it left off, or will I have to search for my place each time I turn device on/off

I have not placed books on the Zen. I do not know if it maintains a location on the data or not. Sorry! Not much help on the books. I use it for music and read books. No batteries on the books and the soothing music from the Zen sets the stage for hours of focused reading.

Our car has a button for aux. when there, if the IPod is attached, it lists the iPod. If we then push enter, the playlists, songs, albums, etc come up as a choice. I don't know if you have the joy stick to navigate with or not.

No. "Breakpoint" goes back to the exact point you were on when you turned off the unit. Logically, that means that there is only one point to return to, right? So that's what it's designed to do and it does it well. Important to note also that "Breakpoint" ONLY works with content on the main internal memory and NOT with the micro SD card. So if you have tons of audio books, you might want to load them onto the main memory instead of the SD. Cheers!

I'm an audiobook listener, and it will remember you previous track position, assuming you don't skip tracks or add/remove any files. If you do, then it loses the position.

This uses a battery, so starting your car has no effect on it. Unless the device your using to stream the music from is dependent on the car's power, then likely that device will stop playing. I stream from my phone, and has no effect when the car is started. Hope that makes sense

I cannot speak for every device or every Bluetooth stack implementation. Here is what I know from my own devices. I can connect my phone to both my standard Bluetooth headset I use while driving (Plantronics Voyager Legend) and my workout headset (Plantronics BackBeat FIT) at the same time. Music will only play out of the one I connected last. If the sound is coming out of my Legend, I can press a button on the FIT and have it transferred to the FIT, but it will not play out of both the FIT and the Legend, and I cannot switch back from the FIT to the Legend (should I want to) without turning off the FIT. I am sure this has something to do with the Bluetooth profiles for each device, but I am not a Bluetooth specialist, so I cannot provide any further details. I do not have any Bluetooth speakers (like a Jambox or a Pill or anything like that) so I do not know how it works in combination with those kinds of devices. Additionally, I do not have any other phones (besides my iPhone) to test this with. Those are my results. Your mileage may vary.

I may be doing something wrong but I can't even see the device inside the house if I get far away from it. It appears to me that the location displayed is the location where the Trackr was last in range of the phone. For me it is almost worthless other than finding the phone in the garage or some distant room in the house.

I put mine in and plan to just leave it there. I use Bluetooth for my music so I don't need the CD slot. I don't think it would be a good idea to constantly insert and remove this for fear of damaging either the player or the mount. If you listen to CDs frequently, I would look for another phone solution. If you are looking at just occasionally, this may work fine as long as you are careful.

You can use the remote by pressing the NAVI button, music should still works and stays on, the other one is you can also press the NAVI button the tablet and will bring you the radio media player window while the navigation in the background will direct you to your location.Reading the "User's Manual" will help you familiarize yourself with the system very fast that's what I did.

I am not certain I understand your question. Basically when you turn the unit on, it should sync with the Bluetooth on your phone or device. if a call comes in and you are playing something, the phone call is taken and turns off the music etc. note that the unit does not have a microphone, so the phone mic will pick up the voice. I usually switch to the phone speaker instead, so I can be heard, instead of it playing thru the speakers of the vehicle. hope this helps.

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !

No it doesn't. I just jot the # where I stop it & fast forward to it. I use my Chrysler T & C van cd player when I'm driving & it holds the place when I turn off, take CD out of player or just when I take calls. I can reinsert the CD, or turn back on or start van. It will start in same place I stopped it. I love it. I'd never buy any thing but a Bose player.

I really don't know but the play/pause button doesn't work as should be... What really do is to pass to the next song so you can't pause anything... Aat least not with the device... Well, thats happens to me, but after all I'm really happy with the device because is really cheap, has many pluses and found only one little problem. That's all I can say about, hope it will help you to make your choice and good luck!!!

As far as I know it can't be a preset thing (like a setting). I found that on my Nokia it played the last song that was playing before I closed the music app, so I guess just leave your music app on the song you want before you go to bed. Still have to test this out with my Samsung tab so will let you know if I find anything different.

The answer to both questions is "no". I have a question for you; have you found a way to "pause" when you are listening and then pick up where you left off. The instructions say you can but I have found that it to be true.

Anything added to thumb drive or iPhone was re-indexed and visible.FWIW - I bought this unit sometime ago, and never use it for Navigation now. Even when purchased, maps needed updating and they wanted $70 for the update. Unit is used now for Music, and Blue Tooth phone (iPhone) only.
