I love it, but it seems to lag when I search through the songs. The deck also does not let me search songs sometimes. It's weird, Does anyone else have this problem.</TD></TR></TABLE>

it's not a huge lag. just about the same lag as u get on the ipod when searching. i never have a problem of it not letting me search songs.

Since u have the ipod adapter too. can u search through the playlists, artists, or albums with your remote controller? (i don't mean skipping to the next song btw). or do u have to search using the headunit? for others who are using the ipod adapter with an alpine headunit, can i get some feedback on this from u. thanks

 

I read in the crutchfield review of the Alpine adapter that there is a slight delay when you select the song and when it starts playing. Theres at least one other company out there with a ipod adapter. I think its pioneer or kenwood. Most likely pioneer. Have no information in regards to its functionality however cuz im an alpine fan and i want that 9835!

Two times i called alpine and only took as long as it took to select my options. Did you make your selections for tech support? I called in the morning and they also have a repair/service center local to me so maybe thats why it was easier to get through then a 800 number.

 

I just picked up an Alpine CDA-9831 myself, and plan on going with the Alpine KCA-420i interface box. I want to go this route, so i can opt to leave the ipod in my glovebox. Out of sight out of mind. All i need now is a ipod

 

I know this is an old post, but those links are no longer working.

I have a old alpine unit, 7982, without M bus, and without the AUX function, but it has the 6 disc changer button on the front of the unit, and the 6 disc plug on the back. I want to get this to work with my ipod. I've dug around on the net, and some say you can hack the cable or possible add a relay or resitor to fool the changer cable into thinking it's connected to changer to get the ipod music to play.

One guy told me this, and I don't know what will work:

(I know a changer is needed for the radio to communicate with. That is the only way you can get that radio to switch to that input. You would have to cut into the cable and get to the left and right signal cables. Cut those 2 wires and wire up a relay to allow you to switch from the changer to the AUX input. Without a working changer, there is no way to get that deck to switch to that input. The radio has to be able to communicate with the changer in order to allow it to switch to that input.)

Someone else said this:

(When it wouldn't work I contacted Alpine tech support and he said that although this unit does not have an AUX function the unit will still play the ipod music through the cable if the pink wire on the back of the head unit is grounded (through a toggle switch) when grounded the unit will display INTERRUPT and ipods music will play through. When ungrounded it goes back to normal radio or CD input.)

Can anyone give me details on how I can get this to work?
