Default Audi ipod adapter question

I recently got my girlfriend a genuine Audi Ipod adapter for her 2005 Audi A4 1.8TQ. I am curious if you can always leave it plugged in or do you need to unplug it when leaving the car for any substantial length of time? I was under the impression you could simply leave it plugged in but recently she noticed the car wasn't starting very well. I suggested unplugging the ipod and this seemed to help. Was this a coincidence or is the ipod not meant to be left plugged in all the time? Thanks in advance.

Default Leaving it connected will keep a continual charge on for the iPod...

...and slowly drain the car's battery. I would recommend disconnecting the iPod from the connector when not in use. This would be true for any adapter - Audi, Dension, etc.
