alpine cda-9887 ipod interface question


Recommended Posts

just got my new alpine cda-9887 today

got it installed and everything, i bought the ipod cord for it cuz it didnt come with one, the ipod works but heres my issue

i cant search through my artists and playlists ect., i can only go through the main SONG playlist which is 1400 songs, only thing i can do really is shuffle, but i cant find the exact song i wanna listen to because i cant figure out how to search playlists and shit

i looked at the manual and it says to hit the middle button (with the magnifying glass that says EXT) i hit it and nothing.. HOWEVER if i press and hold it, it allows me to QUICK SEARCH through my whole song playlist (doesnt give names, just track number)

what am i doing wrong?

is it the full speed connect (blue squarish end) or the usb? what type of ipod do you have? also if its a touch what iSO is installed?

my old 9886 was hooked up through the full speed connect and after i installed iSO4 it was so horribly slow loading artist names and album names. i literally had to spin the volume nob for 10 minutes to get to the G's. so if thats the problem get yourself the kenwood that i have. its sexy, charges your ipod at the same time, and doesn't have that problem. :D

no idea on what iso its got in it, its ipod touch 2nd generation, everything is the same as when i got it, firmware and all, its the blue squarish end.. the 9887 doesnt have USB on it, and its not slow thats an issue, it doesnt even bring up any folders or playlists or anything, but the HU will beep when i hit the button

Figured out the issue, it doesn't let you search playlists when "mix all" is activated
