Alpine/iPod Issue

[mpizzo10]

I know I am being greedy asking for help in my first post, but here goes.

I have an Alpine CDA-9833 head unit and I use the KCA-420i to connect my iPod to the head unit. Every now and then i have an issue with the audio of the ipod. Sometimes, sound only comes out of one side (left or right). Up until yesterday, the issue would occur with the right speakers having minimal sound and a crackling noise. When i would change songs, the right speakers would make a sound as if i just turned on a proton pack (thats for you ghostbusters fans out there). The left speakers would function quite normally as well as my Bazooka tube. Sometimes, if i reset the ipod or unplug and plug it back it, the audio would be fine. however, none of those attempts to fix the issue have worked each time.

Yesterday, the left speakers started having the issue, with the right speakers now operating normally. Please let me know if anyone has heard about this issue or could provide any advice. i would be grateful for anyone's help.

I think Alpine still hasn't got the ipod connection completely sorted. I have an x305 connected to an iPhone and still have issues with it sometimes not playing the sound at all (despite recognising the connection). I also have noo tried and true method of fixing the problem (sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting works, sometimes it doesn't).
