The iPod locked up the USB port and even turning the car off wasn't enough to get it to read. If I used the iPod at all, then the USB wouldn't even read a flash drive until the car had been off for several minutes. If I tried the USB first, music played just fine from the flash drive but not the iPod.
I was running IOS 7 something or other, so I updated to IOS 9, but the problem was the same. I tried restoring the iPod from a back-up, and the problem was still there.
I saw something on-line about being able to download new software for the car, but when I contacted Chevy customer service, they said it has to be done at a dealer. So I went back to the iPod.
I ended up restoring the iPod (wiped it completely) and then set it up as a new device (not from a back-up). Fixed the problem immediately.

I used to have issues with my phone with doing certain things (not car related). I used to try to restore from the back up as well. It seemed as if whatever glitches were occurring, they were being stored in the backup file. Like you said, once I set it up as a new device, it worked fine and never carried over the issues.
I used to have these issues when my phone was jail broken.
