For a dvd player, you would simply need to connect the A/V Cables (red, white, yellow A/V connects) from dvd player to your alpine.Simply press PWR/SRC until you see AUX and you can now listen and watch from your dvd player. About the ipod, i am not sure.

I've got an Alpine CVA1004 and use my ipod on the aux input of the headunit. The alpine-ipod interface was too confusing for me, with the ipod connected to the aux input, I just control the music from the Ipod, I find it easier that way.

did you hook up the video cable? and did you follow the brake sequence if so you have a bad unit

move all power lines away from unit and connect all grounds to same spot

there is a wire on the back of the unit marked hook up 2 parking brake....what i did was ran that wire to a toggle switch and to the cigarette lighter ground and mounted the toggle switch on my dash...then all u have 2 do is flip the swith off and on and it tricks the player to thinking the car is in park and will play right away...

try to tap the brake a couple of times. Cause it sends the positive signal to the player and then try it

i was lucky and came across one on ebay by accident

lol i had the exact problem that you are having with my alpine. The solution is taking the blue cord that was inside the vehicle (forgot what cord it was) and actually connecting it with the other blue cord thats different makes the factory amp read the cd player and ta-da it works. crazy isn't it

check the cables, it may be one color switched

1. Mechanical Issue: There might be a mechanical problem with the disc drive or the eject mechanism. It's possible that a part is jammed or not functioning correctly.
2. Dirty or Damaged Disc: If the disc is dirty, scratched, or damaged, the player may have difficulty reading it and thus not ejecting it properly.
3. System Error: There could be an internal error within the player's software or firmware causing it to not recognize the disc properly or to malfunction when attempting to eject it.
4. Power Issue: Sometimes, power-related issues can affect the functionality of electronic devices. Ensure that the player is receiving adequate power and there are no loose connections.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

• Turn off the player and then turn it back on to see if it resolves the issue.
• Try ejecting the disc using the manual eject button (if available). This button is usually a small pinhole near the disc slot. You can insert a paperclip or a similarly sized object into the hole to manually eject the disc.
• If possible, try using a different disc to see if the problem persists. If other discs work fine, then the issue may be with the original disc.
• Check for any visible obstructions around the disc slot and remove them if present.
• If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Alpine customer support for further assistance or consider taking the player to a qualified technician for repair.

After researching, it appears that there is no direct evidence suggesting that the Alpine TDM 7543 stereo unit has the ability to switch from green to red lighting. This is an older unit and specific information can be challenging to find. Your best option to get a definitive answer may be to directly contact Alpine's customer service or refer to the original instruction manual.
