Alpine CVA-1004 I'm installing a cva-1004 head unit in a 2001 suburban and wasn't sure if it would play through factory amp so I hooked up head unit directly to a speaker and hooked up pwr (red) acc (yellow) blk (grnd) etc. The unit powers up and finds station but I can't seem to get any sound to speakers.

Anonymous Mar 22, 2014

does the tuner that comes with it have to be hooked up for the head unit to get power

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

Alpine cva-1004 no audio video ok

Many aftermarket car stereo has to output trigger wires, one antenna and one amplifier. Antenna trigger only works in radio mode for the power antenna to operate. Amplifier wire operates in any mode the stereo is in. Check to make sure you hooked up the correct blue wire to your amplifer.

How to bypass alpine cva-1004 to play while driving

Doing so is very dangerous.
I admit it is an annoyance because some basic features you can't even control while driving.
Once again I would really suggest not bypassing the saftey feature.
If you still wan't to go threw with it there's 2 different ways. One of which is applying the e-brake ever so slightly so that the brake light comes on on your dash but could also wear out your e-brake over time doing this. The other is permanently grounding the e-brake wire that comes from the cva-1004. You must cut the wire and ground it (on the cva-1004 side of the cut wire) and insulate the other side of the wire you cut so that it dosen't interfere with the normal operation of the brake light.

Rember..... When you have an accident you were warned!
