KCA-620M "No Magazine" Message...details inside

[krisfnbz 10+ year member]

I have the 9887 Head unit. I also have a 80GB pocket drive that I just recently purchased.(Came with the Y split cable with 2 USB). I connected it with the KCA-620M and I am receiving the "NO MAGAZINE" Message. I didnt find any info on this forum of what the message meant, but I did on google.com.

Aparently from what I understand the KCA-620M Is not powering the Hard drive enough power to spin the drive to make it recognize it.(Their is a green light on the hard drive that sometimes flickers red and I can hear the drive spinning...just not enough?) I am using BOTH USB input on the KCA-620M and it did work once in a while sometimes skipping and such(I believe due to not enough power for the hard drive)

WHat can I do?.....Is their a such thing as a USB MINI to USB and Cigarette lighter or something so I can give the hard drive more power?

Or am I just completely off and need to do something else?

I have been thinking about this for a while now, could I get a MINI USB split into 3 USB'd and use 2 of those USB to go directly into the KCA-620M, and then plug the other USB to a cigarette lighter USB adapter to power the hard drive directly instead of the current being regulated through the KCA-620M(I believe the current is being regulated and obviously cant supply enough power through it)

Anyone?

I'm guessing you'd need some sort of power USB hub and a power inverter?

Something like that that has an external power adaptor, and hell if its 12v you could just run it direct.

I just think I need a way to power the hard drive from a better power source(cig lighter adapter), but I need it split for the signal through the KCA620M
