Robert8252 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah. Follows the same as a USB is. A regular USB will only work with a 8-9 foot cable I believe. Too much voltage drop. It's not 12 volts so when only running say 5 volts and low amperage that 8 foot is like a mile. Sucks though. Was hoping it worked out for you. 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 It still might. I'm working getting the pinout. There's a guy who's gonna help me and see if we can get it to work. I'll report back as I get more info. I'm actually running a 16' usb cable for the Bit One, or did in the last set up, so I can adjust it up front with my laptop. No problems. But I get what you're saying. We'll see what we can find. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBleedMusick Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Let the hiccups begin but not to fret Scooter always knows what to do but in regards to the voltage from a USB that only applies to something needing power via the USB. The reason the Bit One has no issues is because it has its own separate power source in the back but while typing this I think I just answered the question of voltage drop from the face plate a separate power source may be your ticket to getting this done. 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yea, I just posted this over on another thread: I get that' date=' and thanks, but I just cut off the 10" giving me the 3.5 cause it wasn't working. So I figure I have to be closer to 3' for it to work. However, that being said, I'm getting a lot of people, the majority, over at MP3.com saying that Cat 5, 6, 7 wire will be better and will probably give me better results. I think I'm going to go ahead and order another set of connectors so I can re solder using that stuff, as well as, making a 3rd harness to see about powering the face plate by itself. I shouldn't have an issue with data traveling the longer distances, but it's the limited power I think that's the problem. So I'm not done yet, I'm going to try a couple more things before I'm done and settle on the dash for this. I'll post more when I have more. Thanks guys![/quote'] This is what I'm going to be doing. I'll get it ordered to day, along with the cable, and then we'll see where it gets me. I still need to find the pin out schematics for the CDA-9886 face plate so I know what is what. I'll keep searching. Again, I think I've said this before, I doubt Alpine will be willing to give up this information. But I guess I could always ask.

scooter99 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 hey guys, would a "service Manual" give me the pinout for the face plate? If so it'd be worth the 15.00 but I don't wanna get it if it won't give me the info I need.

scooter99 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yea they emailed me back and said it had all the parts blown up and pinouts etc. So I'm gonna pick it up. Sorry, to answer your question, yes I probably could. I'm not that great with a multimeter, but I'm learning. Have to if I'm doing this type of stuff right?!

LCort101 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hey man, your progress looks great on the car. I just looked though all 57 pages. I wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you about the aluminum you just got. I just did the same thing on one of my projects. I use the same blade I use for MDF to cut my aluminum. You just have to go slow and not get your material too hot. Then I run it on an 80 grit belt sander to get rid of the saw marks. Of course, be sure to wear protective gear. Hot aluminum doesnt feel good on any part of your body. You can see this in action on my thread: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/132918-still-just-having-fun/page__fromsearch__1 I haven't finished the polishing process, but you should get the idea. I hope you find it helpfull. I love the challenges you're taking on with this. Nice work! If I can be of any help, feel free to ask. Funky Lu WYLA Designs What Ya Lookin At?

Call them and see if you can speak with a Tech. He should be able to answer you question before spending the money. Funky Lu WYLA Designs What Ya Lookin At?
