catch_twotwo 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Ok finally got my GPS cradle working and the only thing I have an issue with is when I'm pumping out the tunes, I can't hear the thing. Even at full whack the IPAQ and cradle speaker fail to even get my attention... So like a true Audiophile, instead of just turning the music down I want to play. So does anybody know how (or even if) you can get the Alpine to play a CD at the same time as accepting an input from it's AUX port.... If all else fails, does anybody know a good Alpine forum :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted January 7, 2006 i think u need to connect the orange lead at the back but im not sure.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catch_twotwo 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Connect the orange lead to what ? Sorry, not exactly a headunit wizard... had to pay to get the system installed. I was thinking to either run a new cable to the amp in the boot specially for the SatNav or putting a plitter on the one for the headunit (it only runs off 1 output) and put both on this. Probably better to do the first option, though the orange cable sounds good as well ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted January 7, 2006 the orange leads in the back neeed to be connected in some cars when you are running an aux,,, had this prob on mine once when i re wired it and the orange lead was connected so the headunit sound only used to come on when the lights were on (weird, i know) if u had your headunit installed maybe worth taking it back there for them to check it out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catch_twotwo 0 Posted January 7, 2006 Well the aux works fine.... but I want the aux input and the CD/tuner to work at the same time. So it's not really a problem with the Aux as such.... Plus the guy that installed mine was a bit or a moron so I'd rather do the work myself this time ;) Thanks for the hint though... I should get a wiring diagram I think....

catch_twotwo 0 Posted January 7, 2006 looks like the pink/black cable is called "audio interrupt in" which is used for the phone to mute things when a call comes in. Perhaps this would be of use if I can get the sat nav to input on this cable..... Is this another way to input or just a signal cable :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted January 7, 2006 ohh right i get ya,, sorry,,, can u not go into the setup i think u hold down the func botton for 10 secs and try from there,,, so many fuctions and options with the alpine maybe worthwhile having a read through the manual... mines about as big as the yellow pages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catch_twotwo 0 Posted January 7, 2006 I was even desperate enough to try the manual myself.... and that's bad ;) Nothing I can see about this though. Maybe I'll just run a new RCA to the amp input as it's got spares and all the speakers run from this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
