I said in my post I am going to take it back. But I work nights all week so it will be next week before I can take it. I was just hoping someone here could give me an idea of what it might be. Thanks anyhow for the replies. Sounds like it could be anything.

"install", that is. Sorry. Hi. I just had a system installed last week (local shop) and I'm having an issue with pops and clicks. I will take the truck back to the installer next week but I kinda was hoping if I shared the symptoms I might could go in somewhat armed with what the problem might...

My apologies - I meant to follow up sooner on this. In conclusion, after removing the HU I found several wires that were connected wrong. The odd thing is, I have no idea how it could have worked that one time, but I swear it did! Anyhow, thanks for all your help. With all the info I gathered...

So, I'm presuming since it did work (even if only once) it can not be a programming issue with the TR-7, correct?

Ok - this morning when I turned on my radio everything was working. I could see all of my settings, I tried playing video from my iPod and it worked. The bypass was obviously working. Then about 30 minutes later I got back in my truck and it was not working again. So what would make the bypass...

Will do. It may be a few days until I get to it, but I'll definitely follow up in case someone else ever has the same issue.

Good stuff - both of y'all. Thanks. Tomorrow I'll pull it out and see what I see. Thanks again.

I'm sorry - by PAC I indeed meant the TR-7 bypass (my apologies, I've seen it called both). The 407 does not have DVD, but it does play video from the iPod/ iPhone. It will not allow that without the brake engaged. I also can't adjust any settings - including the clock, background, etc -...

I has someone install a new Alpine HU (IXA-W407). I also had him install a PAC. But I can't see any of my display settings. Can't adjust the clock or anything, even if I do the brake tap-dance. I'm guessing something is wired wrong, obviously, but does anyone have an idea of where he might have...

That's what I was hoping to hear! Thank you!

I'm replacing the factory head unit with an Alpine on my 2005 Silverado Club Cab. I see where I need an adapter to retain the door chimes. Here's my question - do I have to have this? I hate the door chimes. I do not have Onstar or steering wheel controls. So will I be fine not using the...

Ok - just got home and took a look at the car. I was mistaken - it is indeed a window antenna. Funny - I've driven the car hundreds of times but never noticed. Guess I should work on those observation skills. I'll try another antenna and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for the quick replies. To answer a few questions - it only has one antenna input (it is an Alpine 9856) and it is a mast antenna - not a windshield type. Just seems strange I wouldn't get any signal at all. I have a 9857 in my truck and it gets perfect reception. I can see one being a...

My wife's car (a 2000 Buick Century) had a Kenwood aftermarket head unit in it (a KDC-415S, I think). The AM band of the radio has never worked (we've had the car for several years). Yesterday I installed a new Alpine head unit. The AM band still does not work. So I'm quite sure it's not the...
