The Alpine CDA-9827 only has an input connector for an external CD Changer.

You could get an FM Transmitter for your MP3 Player, and play your MP3 Player using your FM Radio in your Stereo.

Here is an excellent MP3 Player FM Transmitter:

here's your best start...
jump on eBay and type in your model number: CDA-9857

Lots of the ipod input adapters out there on eBay.
The adapters hook up to the back of the Alpine CDA-9857 deck.

Probably you dont have the constant pos (+) wire hooked up to hot (+) wire and only to a source that is switched. Switched means every time your key is removed from ignition switch the positive current from that source will also power down. There are two positive leads from the unit, 1 always hot and the other needs to be switchable. The constant hot (usually yellow) powers the memory for your settings. Just like your television set, once you pull the cord off the socket everything returns to default setting.

The display can be blacked out on the 9857r. To toggle between display on and display off hold the function button until it beeps.

Please see my solution posted on Mar 13. No other brain waves yet!

Users manual is HERE.

The Constant +12 volt wire is the yellow one. Wiring connections begin on page 34.




Best of Luck.

You have the amp hooked to the "Antenna turn on" which is the blue wire.... you need to hook it to the "REM" output whis is Blue with a white stripe.

You need to purchase a 30 (thirty) dollar cable from best buy. Mike

my alpine cda 9856 only displays that message when my ipod dies. so your ipod pobably dies then the head unit recharges it enough in the time your resetting it that it can play again. :)
