I have the Alpine head unit, and I am curious... is there any known problems with the bio-lite display? The reason why I ask is because I bought it in November of 2004 brand new, well.. just in the last couple days the display starts to mess up... like totally shut off as I am adjusting the volume or whatever. The music still plays, so I dunno. The head unit itself is in great shape... I dont abuse it or anything. Is there any other head units I might try out perhaps? It doesnt have to be alpine by any means. Thanks a bunch... Zach

 

you are able to turn off the display by pressing and holding the "disp" button for 3 seconds. that turns off the display and it only comes back on when you push a button on the deck or the remote. not sure if that applies to you but its good to know.

if thats not the case, call alpine tech support. good guys over there.

Alpine warranty depot, you canget that info where you got the unit or go to http://www.alpine.com and find out who is the local warranty depot 94
