i get a new Alpine HU and the IPOD cable

the cd quality is awesome so i know it's not my speaker/amps etc

but when using the ipod, 80% of the time there is cracking and just general crappy sounding music

on my computer these songs sound fine and when burnt onto CD;s they sound fine as well

so what's the deal with the ipod??

any way to improve this?

thanks

What model of Ipod is it? Mine is a Nano and it worked fine but my friend has a mini and it doesnt work right on the new Alpine decks.

I got a mini hooked up by Ice-link, no problems here.. Thats why I stay away from alpine never know what kind opf quality you'll get from them haha .. I'm kidding

i'm gonna try my gf's nano and see how that works

My 40 Gig works very nicely with the Alpine deck.

just thought i would update

I just ordered the CDA-9885 with the ipod cable. And I have an Ipod Mini that I wanna hook up to it. I hope it doesn't sound like pure shit

Oh what Alpine model do you have dude? I hope that I don't have the same problems as you seeing how how I am gonna hook up my ipod mini to it.
