I got this alpine headunit
its hooked up RIGHT cause im gettin sound and everything
only when im listening to the radio but when i put in a CD im not hearing anything
when i first hooked it up i kept gettin some INNTERUPT that kept flashing
if any 1 knows how i can fix this problem so i can listen to cds
please help me
thanx

 

I'm not sure what HU you have, but on my 9813, when you remove the faceplate, there is a little hole on it where you could insert a pin to reset it. I would try that. If you call Alpine (1-800-alpine1 I think) that's the first thing they will tell you to try. If that doesn't work, I would ask the guys at the place you bought it from or simply just exchange it.

 

aight thanks
imma mess wit it some more.
if that dont work imma call aLpine and see what the prob is
ill prolly have to tell the model and stuff 2.
aight thanks

 

Is it a burned or scratched CD? That could be your problem.

 

do you have any amps if so the alpine has two remote wires one for amp one for power antenna the one for power antenna loses power when you put a cd in because obviously when listening to cd you dont need the antenna

 

im trying to say that i can listen to the radio
but when i put in a real cd
its lights up showing the track and its playing
but im getting no sound like its muted
i dunno why
is there sumthing i have connected wrong

 

its broken, somewhere from the laser sending the signal to the speaker wires. if its new return it if you bought it used your kind of SOL.

this is the most common mistake... look behind the radio at the connections
the blue/white is the remote amp turn-on
the blue is the power antennea
sounds like you connected blue where you should have connected blue/white
if your not sure than disconnect the blue wire you have connected and see if you lose sound from the radio, if that's case just try the blue/white and throw a cd in. If that's not it then that unit needs to be serviced, but is still an uncommon error with alpine radios

 

i had the exact same problem. in my alpine 7892. i think you might have the same. alping has an interrupt feature. so if you hookup you cellphone or something, and a phone call comes in, it will mute it all. i am not exactly sure which wire. but look for an interrupt or mute wire on the harness, my wire was stripped and touching the chassy so it was grouinding out. that should help

 

my advice to you would be to go to ur local car audio store and purchase a wiring harness for about 15 bux... it will eliminate all ur wire splicing problems... you just simply click together both connectors and your ready to go....

 

Your pink/black wire is touching ground and is muting the deck. Make sure that you terminate the end of that wire and you will be fine.

 

The pink wire is the mute wire, however that's not the problem, since it has sound when listening to the radio, but not when listening to cd's
he needs to check his remote turn-on wire

 

I just read the part of his post about the Interrupt showing up on the display. He does just need to hook up the blue/white to turn on the amp instead of the blue. The pink must be intermitently shorting to ground to cause the interrupt earlier on, so it should be terminated nonetheless.

 

thanks for all yalls help
i figured it out with yalls help
on the back of the head unit
theres 2 blue wires
mines not labeled or doenst have white stripes
just 2 blue wires
im not sure wich 1 i had hooked up but it wasnt workin i just spliced the other blue 1 too togetther and i ran it to the wire from the remote spot on my amp.
RADIO AND CD PLAYER WORKS AND IM HAPPY
thanks guys
