20 Most Recent Alpine iDA-X200 Car CD/ MP3 Player Questions & Answers

i would try reformatting your ipod to factory specs (can be easily done with itunes following the information provided at mac.com)

to reset the ipod, turn it off, then on -- then hold down the 'menu' key while pressing the center 'click' key until you get the apple logo. this just may solve the problem.

1) Press and hold Func/Setup for more than 2 seconds2) Using the Volume knob go to the sub function called General3) Then go to INT MUTE4) Then set it to OFFThis will sort your problem out hope this helps

it is in manual above.

All you can really do is use a CD Player cleaner *one that uses fluid* run it thru a couple times and try a disc again. Clean your CD's with liquid car polish an a microfibre towel, it works wonders for new and old CD's. If it still skips, It needs to be pulled for repair. They just replace the transport, usually runs between 100-150 depending on the service center. Hope this helps.

Hello daweeksy115x,

You did not specify your install specifics, but the trouble is probably the head unit "remote turn-on" lead. Some head units will have both a power antenna and a remote lead. If you inadvertently wired the amp turn-on to the power antenna lead, it can cause the problem you described.

If you head unit does not have a dedicated remote lead, the best solution is to wire the amp turn-on terminal to a switched accessory 12V source.

Hope this helps.

It's a Bad SIRIUS Tuner. there have been lots. If it's in warranty, have it replaced. if not, you can still find that unit for around $50 from Crutchfield etc. Hope this helps.

Glad i could be of assistance.

Hook up the remote wire from the head unit (grey w/ orange stripe) to the power antenna wire (blue) on the wiring harness adapter.
