And there's your problem. You have to make sure your remote wire is connected to the amp turn on lead. Run your power antenna lead and your amp turn on lead together. SHould be fine after that.
What does the amp lead look like? The only other wires not hooked up coming from the Alpine harness are a light blue and blue with black stripe. I think those are speaker wires. Also, one pink wire. The pink wire, eh?
The harness crutchfield gave you should have a lead labeled "amp turn on" or something to that effect. that wire should be connected to both the power antenae wire and the amp turn on/remote wire on the Alpine harness. You just need to make sure that those two wires ultimately are linked to the amp turn on lead in the BMW harness (#16 on the below diagram {top left})....
I just got an Alpine 9835, and when i wired it up, i had sound for the tuner function, but not for cd or my ipod input....would this be the same problem? I wouldn't think so because i had sound for the radio.
I sent the thing back to the guy i bought it from and am getting another... was it really ok? I messed around with that thing forever.
Because you were using the power antenna lead, not the remote lead for the factory amp. Two different voltage outputs. Oh well, when you get it back, just twist the remote wire and the antenna lead from the deck's harness and you'll be all set

No worries, wish I could have helped before you sent back the deck. PM me next time you have any questions as I don't have as much time to check this area as I once did.
got the deck in there and it works wonderfully. Thanks for the help. Got my Ipod hooked up to it as well with the ipod adapter from Alpine. Pretty cool...a little confusing to navigate.
