do 1.8" hard drives work with Alpine 9886
Does anyone know if all 1.8" drives work or not on the alpine 9886. My hard drive is currently 2.5" WD Passport 80GB fat 32. Keep getting device error and even tried the y-cable with the cigarrette lighter. and i looked at my folder setup currently only one folder with 5 songs.
I am currently looking at getting the cirago 1.8" 60 GB.

Doesn't it matter based on your HD enclosure, and the drive's format??
Alpine said it needs to be FAT16 or FAT32 and works with any universal mass storage device...
if you are getting an error, it could be that the enclosure isn't getting enough power...
or the enclosure isn't a universal mass storage device...

As bpr0422 mentioned, the HDD's physical size should not make a difference. What's important is that the drive is getting enough power and is formatted properly. You were having a problem with your Passport drive right, have you tried any other drives that would ensure you're HU's proper functioning?

oops, i thought he just had a generic enclosure with a WD drive..
The passport doesn't need an external power source..
so the reason why its not working is cause it isn't getting enough power.
Even if you have a 12v to usb adapter... the cigarette lighter adapter might not be giving enough juice
imo, try to find a generic usb enclosure that takes 12v dc, that would be the easiest way to hook it up... cause all that needs is a relay and a fuse... and a dc connector from radio shack.

We already discussed this with the OP here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2236821
We still can't be 100% sure the power is the issue but that is what I had suspected as well. I would think the cigarette lighter would be able provide enough current for the HDD. In which case no relay would be needed unless a more permanent install was desired.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by wikipedia »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">he USB specification provides a 5 V (volts) supply on a single wire from which connected USB devices may draw power. The specification provides for no more than 5.25 V and no less than 4.75 V (5 V±5%) between the positive and negative bus power lines.[11] Initially, a device is only allowed to draw 100 mA. It may request more current from the upstream device in units of 2 mA up to a maximum of 500 mA.
If a bus-powered hub is used, the devices downstream may only use a total of four units — 400 mA (i.e. 2 watts) — of current. This limits compliant bus-powered hubs to 4 ports. The host operating system typically keeps track of the power requirements of the USB network and may warn the computer's operator when a given segment requires more power than is available.
On-The-Go and Battery Charging Specification both add new powering modes to the USB specification. The latter specification allows USB devices to draw up to 1.5 A from hubs and hosts that follow the Battery Charging Specification.</TD></TR></TABLE>
The cigarette lighter adapter isn't providing enough power.... the WD passport drive, i think, is an USB On-the-go device, so it needs 1.5amps of power....
Those cheap cigarette lighter adapters don't provide that kind of power.
