another issue with cda-9887?

[oneiztoomany 10+ year member]

sup gang,

i am on my second cda-9887 now. the first one was not charging my ipod for some reason...

i have the second one in and the ipod is charging properly.

however a new issue has popped up. when i turn the knob on the HU to make adjustments to my time correction i can hear some slight snapping sounds in my tweeters. the sound only happens when i make adjustments and doesn't sound bad enough that it gets in the way of my tuning.

any ideas what it could be? should i even bother caring about it?

thanks for reading!

thats weird. you try the tweet on another channel and another speaker on the tweets channel and see if they still do it?

no i haven't tried messing with anything yet, my installer pissed me off too. i called him to tell him about the issue and he basically said i was being obsessive compulsive and not to mess with any of the adjustments!!!

I have not had any of those issues.....

Your installer should have kept his mouth closed until actually evaluating what was going on. I would take a drive down there and show him.

Does he take you for a child or something.?? Take your car down to him and tell him you want what you paid for. A working head unit without all the fucking problems.

yeah i am in sales and would never treat a customer like that. he didn't even offer to have me come down so he could listen to it.

another thing i have noticed with this second unit is that there is a sticky point with the adjuster knob when it is cold. after the car has been running for a while and things have warmed up a bit that point goes away...

anyone experience this with any of their alpine HUs before?

I've run many Alpine HU's and have never encountered that.
