[QUOTE="WCM3, post: 8328653, member: 580522"] Hey guys, So I've an Alpine CDA-9886 head unit sitting around for probably 4 years. I bought it brand new from Crutchfield for an older car and then uninstalled it. I've tried installing it in two beater vehicles and I'm getting the same result. The unit powers on and goes through everything, but I can't seem to get any type of sound coming from the speakers. I did misplace the original power cord and bought a generic one off ebay. I tried wiring it into both a 94 BMW 325i and a 00 Jeep Grand Cherokee and had the same outcome with both. I also made sure the correct wire was powering on the factory amp. Could something internally happen to the unit that would cause no sound? I'm sort of out of options and thinking of either buying an actual power cord from Alpine ($15) or a new head unit altogether ($100+). Thanks, Mike [/QUOTE]
