Hi, i droped the face for the head unit on the floor, it didnt seem to be broken until i put it in, it plays music but the face does not work, none of the lights work, cant change the volume, track and it wont eject the CD, but it still plays music, my head unit always turns on when i plug it into the dash. can this problem be repaired, can i buy another face form alpine or do i have to buy the whole new system.
thanks, kunal
hi there, i still havent sloved the problem. ive called up a few places and asked for quotes on repairs, most places said they will try to repair but might not be able to, they said that the best bet would be calling alpine, which i did and got a quote of £160 + VAT for a new face, price might have droped snice then, i may call them back in a few weeks, you can get there number from there web site. kunalhi there, i still havent sloved the problem. ive called up a few places and asked for quotes on repairs, most places said they will try to repair but might not be able to, they said that the best bet would be calling alpine, which i did and got a quote of £160 + VAT for a new face, price might have droped snice then, i may call them back in a few weeks, you can get there number from there web site. kunal

Re:
Yes, I'm sure Alpine will sell you another face but there is still the option of repairing the broken face at a good repair shop. Of course getting a new face is the easiest (read most expensive) way to get you going again.
Hi, paul, ive had no luck in repairing the problem, if it still plays DONT RESET IT!!! this will turn the unit off totally,
ive brought a whole new face plate from alpine for £135, should be cheaper now, the head unit is worth it, i didnt want another unit as my whole car set up around this one,
kunal
If you press down on the middle of the glide touch and hold it for 3 seconds that should get the faceplate to reset. and if that doesn't work their is a reset button on the faceplace just above the volume control
I have a problem sort of like this, the buttons all work and lights come on but the display bit doesnt come on at all, no lights and also no text. what could be the problem?

Remove the face, and trimring plastic. There are slots on either side that you put the Alpine unlocking keys into (came with your headunit new) then slide the chassis out. If you don't have keys - you can use a small allen wrench - or buy them at best buy etc. A local alpine dealer will probably let you borrow his keys as a good business practice.

when mine does that it is down to the connection of the face to the head unit, push it firmer or remove and replace. it may be that the connection is worn.
ok when you look at the front of your system there is a button that has a (F) on it press and hold tell stuff comes on the screen then just keep pressing it tell you get to AUX off you should get it from there hope this helps
i have that same problem. when i turn the volume up, it shuts off but comes back on right away. the only thing i can think of is i'm not running the constant power directly from the positive terminal on the battery (which is what is recommended). not sure if thats the solution but im gonna try and wire it right anyway...
my alpine cda 9856 only displays that message when my ipod dies. so your ipod pobably dies then the head unit recharges it enough in the time your resetting it that it can play again. :)
