[QUOTE="nuugen, post: 6010361, member: 565870"] Ok, I don't know why crutchfield would tell you to do this, you have just wasted a lot of valuable time for nothing..Pink/Black on an Alpine HU is the phone mute/interrupt wire, used for HF phone kits that send a ground trigger out when a phone call is received(or you can mod your radar detector for radio mute as well). When hooked up to the Alpine's pink/blk, the radio will go into interrupt mode and mute the sound output so that you can hear and answer your phone..There is absolutely no reason to have this hooked up to a drive-n-play..Simply run the rca out from the D&P to the Aux input on the Alpine, make sure the aux is enabled in the setup menu, and hit the source button to switch over to aux when you want to use the D&P... For the record, Alpine DVD units have a yellow/blue(parking brake) and yel/blk(foot brake) that need a sequence to activate video viewing, not simply flipping a toggle switch..You can hook up the foot brake wire (it needs to read positive), and the park brake wire through a switch to ground; then you have to hold down the foot brake, flip the switch off, then on, then release the foot brake and the video will come on..Or order a PAC TR-1 which replicates the whole process automatically..
