Will it need a live feed to the battery ?

Its supposed to be better to wire it directly to the battery as Alpine headunits draw more power than other makes. Wont harm to do it

Thanks Rob

The new alpine 2005 units do not need to have a new live put straight to the battery. The new units are 4x50w, and have the V drive removed.
The unit has the equivalent of a capacitor in a small box on the cable coming out of the back of the unit that takes care of things. I have the 9855r.

i have the same problem john, as does monkeymagic.
Mines going back next week, its happening on and off. If you give the faceoff a swift tap downwards from the top, it should start moving again.
