ipod nano 3rd gen hangs when connected to car

I have a 3rd gen 8GB iPod nano that I have been using in my 2011 528i for the past two months since I got the car. I have the ipod connected to the USB port in the center console. About once a week, the ipod will just randomly loose connection to the car and hang while I am listening to music. There is a BMW logo on the ipod screen and it is so hug that I can't even do a hard reset of the ipod. I have to let it sit for up to an hour or so before it unhangs. I have the latest firmware on my ipod and have done a factory reset. Still hangs. Anyone else have this problem?

my iPod classic hangs all the time, so I gave up and bought a 64gb USB stick. but my classic used to hang on its own since it's about 5 years old.

I read somewhere that loading the iPod to max. capacity will cause trouble. Leave 10% disc space free and the iPod will be more stable.
