Welcome, phillyex!
I think inteller's analysis is dead on. Most manufacturers have elected not to risk draining the battery. With all the onboard electronics, some of which need trickle power, I can't say I blame them.
Still, if they allowed that as an option somehow (via soft setup, jumper, optional fuse, etc), that would have been nice. Now, if only we knew where, and to whom, we can submit our various wish lists for the EX!!
Just curious, if you're using the iPod just in the car, why didn't you simply buy a CF card (or several)? With CF cards, there wouldn't be any charging issues anyway.
