Alpine KCA-SC100 Problem
Here's the problem. I installed a CDA-9886 about a month ago, and just recently installed the KCA-SC100 and the Sirius Connect Vehicle Docking Kit the Sirius receiver I have is the Sportster 5. Everything went well in the install I used the power and ground off the deck wires for the SC100.
The sound is great and I have the replay feature, but the only problem is when I store an artist or a song in the memory, whenever I shut my vehicle off then turn it on the artists or songs I stored are no longer in the memory. I phoned Alpine they told me to phone Directed, phoned them they told me to phone Alpine. So now I am in a runaround the only thing I haven't tried is a different Sirius receiver. Any ideas?

It doesn't drop out it says there is 12V running through. I tapped into the same wire that is the 12v constant going to the deck, and there is no problem with the deck.

I have a similar problem with an ida-x305, kca-sc100 and sc-c1. Whenever I power the head unit off and back on the artist alerts are all cleared. Sometimes when I turn the power on the SIRIUS status stays at 'Searching' until I cycle the power, then it comes on right away.
I called Alpine and they mentioned they are aware of problems with the kca-sc100 and are working on a solution right now. The person I spoke with did not know if the solution would require replacing the kca-sc100 or another option.

Hey greerb,
This is a known issue with the SC100, hit or miss kind of thing. They have been working on different software versions for a bit. If it's under warranty, bring it back to where you bought it for another one.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Rino

So the other day, driving home from work I decided to just set alerts for any artist on any station... Elton John, Supertramp, lots of junk... Wouldn't you know it - those alerts stayed in memory! After cleaning up the garbage and setting alerts I wanted, they're staying stored now as well!
WTF?
