We hooked up tuner and antenna to my 9813 yesterday. I can get the preview crap fine. But I have had it on channel 1 for 2 hours and still not activated.

Maybe stupid question, but you did call to activate?? Are you parked outside with a clear view south?? Mine took some time too... I might have had to leave it and try again, can't remember. Be patient

I was parked outside but moved inside my south facing garage. All preview channels were working fine. I activated last night at 9. I'll try leaving it on channel 1 for a full hour with absolutely no interuptions. I just used Alpine America's address in CA.

Well, I called during noon hour today and they said my credit card didn't clear yet and they didn't know why. They refreshed for me. I left the tuner on channel 1 all afternoon while I was at work with a signal coming in fine. Still Nothing. I call at 5 and they can't figure out why it isn't working. They tried refreshing again. If I go out to my car in a bit here after the full hour is over and it doesn't work I will call them again. I haven't ever heard of someone having a problem like this before. Is it at all possible that the window tint is a problem for it? It is dye tint, not the stuff with metal in it and I have no reception problems. All preview channels come in perfect, but activation is my only problem.

Of course you can have a listen. I have gone a little crazy with this thing lately. Don't you hate when you get obsessive and go overboard at your audio shop.

But get this, I moved the antenna to the roof, left it outside in clear sight for an hour on channel 1. I still don't have squat, just the channels coming in for preview. So it can't be blamed on a reception problem. Could it be the Alpine Tuner?

Nope - the crtc monitors this board in real time tracking pirates.

using their latest tax payer funded facial recognition program, they found your identity and have jammed your illegal US satellite signal.

right now their agents are organizing a raid - best to cut a deal and help taked down the dealer that sold it to you [img]graemlins/deal4u.gif[/img]
