I have installed an alpine cda-9884 in a 2001 dodge ram. The tuner plays sound fine but when I play a cd or the ipod, the unit plays but there is no sound. any help please.
check your connection for the ipod cd changer... even if you don't have a cd player attached the cable where the ipod is connected may not be seated correctly...
actually, chrysler/dodge has factory Infinity sound systems installed. The nice part about these systems is that you dont have to bypass the amplifiers in order to put a new radio in, but simply power up the amp by hooking up the amp turn on wire at the harness. The alpine should have 2 blue wires coming off of the back, one that is solid, the other with a white stripe. The one that is solid only has 12v when the fm/am radio is on (used for power antenna) but cuts off when other sources are used (cd,aux,ipod). My guesses are, you have the amp wire on the vehicle harness (blue) tied into this wire, instead of the BLUE/WHITE wire on the alpine which has 12v as long as the radio is on. i hope this solves your problem, 9 times out of 10 on a chrysler this is it.

My alpine cda 9884 is about a year old. A few months ago, the display started flickering and sometimes i need to push the faceplate into its receiver more to use the buttons. I know it's a connection problem. Is there any way that I can keep the gold contacts in contact with each other?

Sound is perfectly fine when tuner is on but when in ipod mode right side sound is VERY quiet. I almost have to turn it up to 20 to hear anything from it. All connections/ speakers are ok. Have tried multiple ipods and still have same issue.
