20 Most Recent Alpine IVA-D310 Car DVD Player - Page 2 Questions & Answers

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.

yes it can be used with out the brain thats how mines in right now

I'm in the uk connect the wire which is yellow with a blue stripe it's labelled park/brake to the handbrake/parkbrake switch.

I connected it to the negative and it works fine for me....

Is your system grounded correctly?

There is a yellow blue wire attach it to the handbrake as it is designed to be only able to access the advanced menus when you are stationery.

I'm in the uk I just put it to the negative and it works fine for me even plays DVDs now as well.

Sometimes there is no speaker settings.. you can get a 3rd party device to do all that but have to be installed right.

make sure everything is connected.. what i do when installing it and there is a problem i take it all out and reinstall it making sure its all connected right fuses are good and connectors are fine..

Any Best Buy can print you out wiring schematics for units under the system the installers use, just make sure you talk to an installer not a sales associate

It Depends On What Is Wrong In The First Place... (Note) Make Sure Your Radio Is Hooked Up Correctly! All The Wires Have To Be In The Correct Places for the radio To Function Properly, Its Probably Color Coated So Just Match Wire to Wire From The Radio To The Harness, If U Dont Have a Wire Harness That Matches ur Vehicles Model Or Harness Then U Will Have to Go And Purchase One At Wal Mart Or Best-buy,If U Already Have The Proper Set up And Ur Radio Is Hooked Up Correctly And Its Still Not Working. If U Can Here Sound But No Picture then It Is Most Likely Your Lcd Ribbon That Connects From The Main Unit To The Flip-Out tv Screen, Hope This Helps :-)

No, the ground shouldn't really affect it. Make sure you have a switched source that turns on and off with the car consistently.
