Alpine 9835 Aux/Ai-net help

[thai_creeper 10+ year member]

I picked up an Alpine brand ai-net aux out to rca recently, and tried putting it in today. On the bottom of the HU the ai-net is switched to normal mode, I think it's either that or equalizer mode. I also went into the menu and turned Aux to ON. Still, when I plugged in my mp3 player there was no sound. When I turn the volume all the way up, it has a low static sound (volume at 30ish). I went back down to the store and asked the guy to look at it, and he went through my menu's on the HU and tried a different rca to headphone jack cable, and finally said there must be another thing I have to do on the HU for aux. He also said that the static sound at high volume in aux source mode meant that the ai-net cable was working, but I took it out and still got the sound. Anyways he was in a rush and kept insisting that there was something else I needed to do/switch on on the HU and wouldnt consider trying a different alpine ai-net cable, and just refunded my money. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

You want it in NORMAL mode.

You want the AUX-IN turned on.

There is also another "AUX" option under menu.

I have it done that way, and I AUX-IN my 7" Flip-out DVD screen into my 9835 no problems. The sound is great, just like CD quality.

Yeah I have it in Normal mode and turned on the AUX in the menu, the other option you're talking about is giving the aux a title I think. I'll just try to pick another one up and try it again

I just bought the Ai-Net to RCA adapter for my alpine and all i had to do was turn AUX on. Worked like a charm.

lol I know this was a long time ago, but I went off to school and didn't need to take my car so I never looked into getting another one after that experience.

I picked one up from the local alpine dealer out here in San Luis, it's a pie? version of it, and it worked perfect. I guess something was wrong with the alpine branded one I picked up back in august. just thought I'd update, installation was easy

by the way, does anyone have a certain way of keeping the wire neat? mine's about 6', I just stuffed it into my glove compartment, wish I had a retractable cable for this or something
