How I reset my stereo alpine ine-w940

It sounds like you're having a problem with your Alpine Navi INE-Z928HD. I suggest that you first try to download and install the latest firmware update for your device. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then you may need to contact Alpine's technical support team for further assistance.

If your Alpine INE-S920HD head unit keeps shutting off after a few minutes of starting the truck and your backup camera appears dark, it could indicate a power or wiring issue. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
Check the power connections: Ensure that the head unit's power and ground connections are secure and properly connected. Make sure there are no loose or damaged wires. Check the fuse for the head unit to ensure it is not blown.
Verify the power source: Confirm that the power source you are using for the head unit is stable and providing sufficient voltage. Consider checking the vehicle's battery and alternator to ensure they are in good working condition.
Inspect the wiring for the backup camera: Check the wiring connections for the backup camera, including the power and video cables. Ensure that they are securely connected and not damaged. A loose or faulty connection could cause the camera to appear dark.
Adjust camera settings: The dark image from the backup camera could also be due to incorrect camera settings. Check the settings menu on the head unit to adjust the brightness, contrast, or other image-related settings for the backup camera.
Reset the head unit: Perform a factory reset on the Alpine INE-S920HD head unit. Refer to the user manual or contact Alpine customer support for specific instructions on how to reset the head unit.

Unplug it for about 5 minutes

the clicking noise may be a problem laser reader control ( similar to s ***** click in a hard drive )
if it is then the fix is a new unit

Sounds like a bad capacitor.

The Alpine Electronics site has the manuals for the INE-W940 on their support site, http://www.alpine-usa.com/support . There are two manuals available. The English version of the manual for the audio system (including the installation information) is here: http://vault.alpine-usa.com/products/documents/OM_INE-W940_AUD_EN.pdf . The User's guide for the navigation system is here: http://vault.alpine-usa.com/products/documents/OM_INE-W940_NAV_EN.pdf .

I hope this helps. Note: you will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read or print the manuals.

It may not be your device attached, but some other individual in the area that latched on to your system.

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. :)
