Ok it sounds like your stuck in the audio menu function. The way to fix this is by going to your alpine and unplugging your tr7 if you have one with the ignition engaged unplug tr7 then plug it in press setup for 3 second and your other setup options should be listed.ok if you don't have a tr7 bypass go through the parking brake unlock function. Set brake with brake pedal depressed release parking brake then pedal. Press parking brake then power unit and check setup.

Are you holding the setup button down for at least 2 seconds? Then using the >> to switch items for setup? If you don't have the manual, download it here and flip to page 20: http://support.alpine-usa.com/products/documents/OM%20iXA-W404_EN.pdf

Check the fader on the stereo and balance them.

What you need to do is buy a PAC TR7 universal trigger module.Without this module you have to do some sequence of events with your brake and parking brake.and it wont let you program the unit. By default the TR7 is pre programmed for the video bypass. Even if you don't have any kind of video in your system you need this TR7 setup to program your IXA W407.

WHY would you connect it to the brake wire???

You likely want to connect to 100% power from the battery. It should be fused however. Find where the clock in the car was/is powered and connect it to that.

Your Yellow (constant battery) wire is not properly hooked up. The yellow wire is what keeps power to your unit while the car is off so that it keeps all the memory. I would start by checking to see if that wire is connected right and if so, start to trace it back from there. Hope this helps and good luck!

If you hold the set up button for 2 seconds it will automatically direct to screen having general setup,display setup , source set up etc .In that move using < > to select general setup and to adjust time and date select time option and date option by moving < > button .

1. Mechanical Issue: There might be a mechanical problem with the disc drive or the eject mechanism. It's possible that a part is jammed or not functioning correctly.
2. Dirty or Damaged Disc: If the disc is dirty, scratched, or damaged, the player may have difficulty reading it and thus not ejecting it properly.
3. System Error: There could be an internal error within the player's software or firmware causing it to not recognize the disc properly or to malfunction when attempting to eject it.
4. Power Issue: Sometimes, power-related issues can affect the functionality of electronic devices. Ensure that the player is receiving adequate power and there are no loose connections.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

• Turn off the player and then turn it back on to see if it resolves the issue.
• Try ejecting the disc using the manual eject button (if available). This button is usually a small pinhole near the disc slot. You can insert a paperclip or a similarly sized object into the hole to manually eject the disc.
• If possible, try using a different disc to see if the problem persists. If other discs work fine, then the issue may be with the original disc.
• Check for any visible obstructions around the disc slot and remove them if present.
• If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Alpine customer support for further assistance or consider taking the player to a qualified technician for repair.
