Alpine IVA-D310 Car DVD Player Questions & Answers
IVA-D310 PLAYS DVD'S BUT NOT CD'S!
As last resort you might try a firmware upgrade if available. Otherwise the unit needs to be replaced since laser mechanism has lost the ability to focus on and play back cd's. Repair not cost effective so ..............
How do i bypass the parking brake switch in order for my video to play
you need 2 toggle switches . yello/blue wire to switch - switch to ground.
yellow/black wire to switch- switch to red ing. wire. turn this switch on and pulse the other(yellow,blue) 3 times and leave on, then turn the other switch off and then you can ride and watch dvd. just did it this morn. QTRHRS
Iva-d310
I ran across the exact same thing as both of you guys and did a lot of research. I was told by someone very knowledgeable that you have to also change the small DC to DC power supply to match the D300. Its the small 3 inch by aroudn 2.5 inch silver box that is plugged into the back of the unit. Apparently after that it should work. I haven't got one to test with but if you do please post if it works. THanks
Disc error
Have you tried to clean it with a cleaning kit yet? They make kits that have a special disk that has brushed on it and some use a cleaning solution to remove the dust and dirt build up from the laser pick up. If this doesn't solve it then there is internal problems with the mechanism itself. Either misalignment of the lens or malfunction of mechanical pieces due to wear, it could just need lubrication of the moving parts also. An Alpine unit is worth the money to have professionally repaired, if it was any other brand I would just say buy a new one. If you have no luck with a cleaner and you are not comfortable taking it apart to lubricate it I would have it fixed. If you find repairs to be too expensive I would sell it and buy another, keep in mind that costs have come down now on Head units now but choosing a brand that is very cheap could be hard to get used to using after owning an Alpine.
