Well yes, kind of, you would have to have a dealer wire this hot so that it did not lose power to it when the auto is turned off. This is not a great idea as if someone left it on it could drain the battery after a while. You would have to have a dealer do this because any electric
work that is not done by the dealer can and will void your warranty,
yes a car starter,raido,if it is not done by your factory dealer, they can deny your warranty. The other option is to have a different player installed that had non volatile memory, which would hold settings when the power was removed.
I would read the manual of this devise, it could have an option that allowed this before you do anything drastic. If it was me, I would just make the kids fast forward it. Sorry if I could not be of more help. Hope it works out for you.

- If you could post what make and model it is, we could see if there is a way to not let it do this. Most players will start where they where left off. But it depends on the model, maybe it is listed somewhere
on the player itself or in the manual of the auto.

- I have checked, and you are right, this is the only thing is see for
holding its memory. The manual is no great help, and I bet that when you remove the power last memory resets to off, they did not want to make it easy for you.
I am not trying to make you more unhappy than you already are,but
for future reference, while checking around I seen a lot of people
having problems with there players and some are very unhappy.
I don't see anything else to overcome this, again sorry I could not be of more help.
