2.0 out of 5 stars Very annoying iPhone issue, January 24, 2010

This review is from: Alpine iDA-X303 200 Watt Digital Media Receiver (Electronics)

I have an iPhone 3G connected to my brand new Alpine iDA-X303 via the USB cable that comes in the box. Occassionally when I am on the road listening to music, the iDA-X303's audio cuts out for a 1/2 second or so randomly. Sometimes it won't happen for over an hour or two, sometimes it happens 3-4 times in 10 minutes. It is driving me absolutely insane and I am about ready to return my new stereo as a result.

I was hoping someone here would have some insights into why this unit is doing this. I did some research online and find others with the same problem (with the X200, X100, X001, etc.), which to me points to a flaw with the iDA series of stereos. Stereos from other companies like Pioneer that use a similar USB connection do not appear to have this issue as far as I can tell.

This really ticks me off since it appears that the issue has been happening for quite awhile, but Alpine continues to advertise the new iDA stereos are Made for iPhone certified. I do not know how this can be if an iPhone 3G has the audio cut out randomly on multiple generations of these units.

its hard to fugure out but i like the ipod connector and how you controle your ipod from the head unit and not have to use your ipod to change the song.
