I hear some of the Alpine units do not turn off the iPod when the ignition is off?
What units are afflicted with this bug?

I am looking at Pioneer and Alpine HU replacements, and I intend to install a Modifry DCI. This bug, if it exists, would steer me to a Pioneer, even though I prefer the sound of he Alpine.

So what's the real word here?


thanks,
Dave

Any input on this would be appreciated!

Wont the iPOD shut off after not being used anyway? Just curious. I have an alpine iDA-X100 and my ipod shuts down after a little bit anyway.

I will tell you about mine, I hope that helps.

I have a 9883 HU and an ipod touch.

When the radio is turned off, it pauses the ipod. I am not sure if it does the same on other ipod models.

CDA-9886. It was a bit annoying at first but really, it's not that big a deal to pause the iPod before killing the ignition. If it's a make-or-break deal for you then look into getting the CDA-9885.

Thanks, but I have no desire to have the thing in the middle of my dashboard. I want it hidden away, wither in the secret compartment or the passenger-footwell netting.

And yes, improper turning off is a deal killer for me, so I bought a Pioneer DEH-P6000UB.

thanks for the info, folks!

I have an iDA-X100 and sometimes my ipod battery goes totally dead, like its either staying on or not charging when connected, not sure. I have had this HU for a couple of months and its happened twice.
