Somehow I managed to turn off my head unit display... it's a Alpine cda 9805 and right now I'm on vacation and can't figure out how to turn it back on. Anyone know the steps to turn the display back on.

thanks.

 

on my 7878 you press and hold the display button!

 

If you have lost the manual or can't get to it, you can download the manual for your head unit off Alpine's web site.

I love it when manufacturers make manuals available on-line. It makes buying decisions so much easier. Now if Clarion had its $*it together, I may have stuck with them. Their web site and support blows! To get support from Alpine, I just e-mail questions and boom, I get reply in a very short time. Never used to be an Alpine fan (was a Nakamichi fan for the longest time), but since they moved away from those fugly green buttons (yeah, yeah, yeah), I've been pleasantly surprised. OK, getting off topic............ sorry.

 

Probably just engaged something called "Blackout mode", I'm not 100% sure because I've never put my 9831 into blackout before but this sounds like whats happend.
