    alpine 9886 problems/issues/not responding

    bought a 9886 late last year. last month it started acting up. Sometimes it takes 2 to 3 button presses for it to change (ethier band, or preset). Sometimes when I push a button the screen goes blank. a few times it just locked up and the screen went all crazy. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

    can power wire be used as ground?

    no power wire runs in one direction only, and ground only runs to ground :-p and ground should be green, since that represents earth. black wire should be power, since black = death.
