hey, i'm sure this is a really common problem, but can anyone help me out here?

i have an alpine CDA9825 and the KCA-121B Aux-In AI-Net cable. my head unit only switches between CD and Tuner when i hit the source button on it, though. i can NOT figure out how to get the damn thing to recognize that my iPod is plugged in through the ai-net port.

oh, and i don't want the alpine ipod connector thingie. it has too many limitations on it... [screen only shows a few letters, only 255 artists recognized, slow scrolling, etc...]

thanks in advance!
.lfc.

ps - i've heard something about needing to install a switch to ground the pink/black cellmute wire on the headunit, but i'm not sure how to do that... ??

did you read your manual? You have to turn aux-in on in the functions. Hold the f button down till the menu comes up, and flip though.
