If you have a CDA-9886, you know about the ipod controls. You also know about the purgatory of having to pause the HU or the ipod every time you shut off the engine to keep the ipod from continuing play while the ignition is off. Well, enough of us complained, Alpine listened:

cda-9886 and 9884 iPod shut off fix available. - Crutchfield Community

I'm calling tomorrow morning. :thumb:

Send a FAX to Alpine Tech Support, 310-320-6906 including your original sales receipt, your home address, and a note saying "Please send ipod patch cable for CDA-9886". The customer service / technical support rep I spoke with was named Robert.

Done.
Alpine sent me the patch cable for FREE. Now the problem is fixed for good. No more manual pausing the ipod before I turn off the truck. OMG that was a PITA.
