[QUOTE="absavino, post: 6871795, member: 613922"] Please let me know what happens. The shop I go to is going to call Alpine. Until I read your post, I was now leaning toward an electrical problem with the car (see update below) but maybe it is a bad parts/circuits in the new Alpine (i.e. CDA-117,iDA-X305S,...) series. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the update from two days ago: The stereo store swapped out the HU for the Alpine iDA-X305S. It does not have a cd player so this would solve the CD player problem. But on the way home I now noticed a pause when listening to Sirius. Incidentally, the sirius antenna receiver also went out last week and was replaced. This makes me believe it is something electrical with the wiring, car and/or stereo. I also noticed a sound once in a while coming from the engine compartment when I had the hood open.
