Alpine-ipod Question

[notatdi]

I have an alpine 9881 HU with the ipod interface cable.

After operating the ipod for awhile (sometimes .5hr, sometimes .75 hr.) the ipod interfave drops off and the only way to get it to work again is to physically disconnect the ipod from the interface cable and start over. The ipod is an older 4g mini.

I am of the opinion that the issue is with the head unit,

I have tried the ipod with ither car stereo interfaces(jvc) and other alpines nd it does not drop off.

I updated the apple software in the ipod also, so I am not sure. HU, interface cable?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I would check jsut to make sure in the back of the head unit it is snug in. if all else fails call the store you bought it from. Thank god for warranty

They are supposed to replace the head unit and the ipod cable tomorrow.

I hope that remedies the issue. It is a real pita and make me frustrated with the ipod.

I really like my misic and this thing has been a cinstant struggle with anything but headphones.

The most enjoyment cane from a marathon weekend from mn to nh for pagan fest on my vfr. it kept me going.

I'll let you know what happens.

i've had the 9885 for a bit over a year now and i've never had any problems with it. when was the last time you updated your ipod software?

I have the CDA-9887 hooked to both a iPod or iPhone depending on which one is more up to date. I haven't seen that happen on either, I have gotten a Error 01 message but thats usually because the iPod was off, rebooting, or something like that.
