Ive gotten 3 of these units - Sold em before I could even get the boxes open ...

I am expecting 3 more in the next week or so ....

Shoot. If I would have known about this forum a couple weeks ago, I would have bought my 872 from you. Anyways, since I couldn't find it, I picked it up on ebay for $1500. Seller had good feedback and offered a 1 year warranty.

I upgraded from the N852A which I just put up on ebay. Anyways, I'm having some problems with the 872:

I have it connected to the IVA-D310. The audio mix function isn't working too well. I have the nav mix turned on. It's supposed to lower the audio and overlap the voice guidance. It doesn't do that. Instead it mutes the system and chops off the 1st half of the guidance.

My 852A didn't give me any problems, I know how to set up the audio, and I'm using the same wiring. I've hit the reset button on the 852A to no avail. Next I disconnected the battery for about 10 min... that didn't work. Finally, I unplugged all accessories to the brain and now just running the D310 & 872A. I unplugged the battery for the evening. We'll see what happens in the morning.

Any suggestions?

Figured it out with Alpine's tech support. I had the mute wire of the nav connected to my cell phone's mute signal. I also had the mute wire connected to my IVA-D310 headunit. The IVA-D310 controls all mute functionality for my cell. I had to cut the mute wire from my nav and all is well. Funny that I didn't have this problem with my NVE-N852A.

So far I like the 872 much more over the 852. The graphics are in line with other recent nav units. The only thing that became worse was were the voice prompts. The quality is much worse than the 851/852.

And for anybody who's curious about disabling the parking brake protection - it's the same process as the old units. I'm still using my old electronic PAC device to bypass. Thanks Alpine!!

Just got off the phone with Alpine, and you need the Alpine HCE-100XM in order to receive XM NAVTRAFFIC data. This unit will debut at CES in January, and will be made available "hopefully" soon after. The HCE-100XM will have a pass through for XM Radio data. So I guess...this elminates the need for two antennas.

Turn off "interrupt" on the D310. Turn on "nav mix" on the D310. Then play with the volume whenever the voice from the nav unit kicks in.

Still dont have any sound from the Nav.

When i disconnect the PXA-H701 it all works fine.

Any other ideas? or is this a glich in the NVE-N872A?
