SIR-ALP 1 - Alpine 9835

[BladeRunner]

I've been going through Howard Stern withdrawal due to lack of listening to him on Sirius....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

I have an Alpine CDA-9835 & SIR ALP 1 installed in my 1999 Maxima over a year ago. Several months ago, I started getting "No Signal" flashing on my display with no reception. I replaced my Sirius antenna at the suggestion of Sirius. It seem to work fine for a week until the "No Signal" came back. After I turn the car on and the head unit powers up, sometimes I get "Loading XM" with no sound except for a little crackling coming from speakers. Usually XM will flash on the screen for a second before it converts to Sirius.

I called Alpine tech support and the rep thinks the problem is the AI-Net cable since the original SIR ALP 1 kit had a Monster 2.5 meter AI-NET Cable and not original Alpine. He was not sure about the "Loading XM".

Can someone please tell me what the heck is going on.

Thanks
