You will love the picture on that screen, it blows away anything on the market except Alpines big dog 901 screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 thanks for the reply. one other quick question. I shouldn't need to upgrade to a optima or high amp alternator from just running a JL 500/1 amp and a Kicker zx460 amp (80X4) will i? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 the ss has kind of a (we will just say little puss alternator,105amp) so if you throw anything on your ss that uses decent amperage it will need a new alt.You could probably get away with just a yellow top but i would play it safe with a 145 amp alt.I added just e-fans and they drop my voltage down to 11-12 when they are on at idle.You will probably be ok without either for a while but your battery will not last as long as it normally would.

Great choice for a headunit IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 yeah it has a nice built in eq. and the pulse touch screen is bad ace!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 i havn't seen one working in person, so all i can go by is what you guys say and what im reading on the car audio forums. is this the unit that can display stuff like the tach and gagues and stuff? also, are you guys using it with your steering wheels controls ok? lastly, will it flip open and closed without hitting the gear shift when in park , rev, or drive?

kaotik1 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have the clarion VRX-935VD, this unit is also touch screen and flip out from the dash. It will hit the shifter in park if not pulled tward you, but in reverse and drive it operates just fine. I like the alpine stuff, just a bit better than the clarion stuff. To me right now I never use the TV and its more novelty at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first month my stereo sounded real nice, the sub would hit nice and solid. Now sometimes when I am listening ,the bass will sound real weak. Has anyone else had this problem with the stock alt?

CHARLIESILVERADOSS Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have the same alpine unit and it is freezing on me. I won't let me control the volume or change the station for about 20 minutes and then it goes back to normal. I am so pissed off because it is 2 weeks old. Just my luck. Is anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Nope... mine has been flawless thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 just got my iva-d310 installed yesterday. all looks and sounds good, except i didn't test dvd playback until i got home that night. not only can i not play dvd's while driving (like the shop said i would be able to), i can't play dvd's at all. i can't even get into the menus to set the clock. i think it's stuck in "driving mode" where you can't access some features because you have to be parked with the e-brake on. but, i can't get it work while i'm parked either. anybody know how to fix this?

Dylan06SS Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 If they did a by-pass w/ a toggle then you will have to press the break, flip the switch (usually under the dash) back and forth 3-4 times and then release the brake. Because mine is over-ridden that way I have to do it whether the truck is parked or not. You definitely need to figure out how they did it b/c all the eq settings and everything are only accessible with the over-ride on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 well, i know they didn't use any toggle switches or anything. he said they installed an "adapter" that would make it work, but i never saw it and forgot to ask about it.

Dylan06SS Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Sounds like a trip back to the audio shop is in order. I've never heard of an 'adapter' that will just allow you to bypass the no-dvd-while-driving feature on newer decks like the d310. Every by-pass I've seen on newer decks involves a toggle switch or some manual sequence to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
