Alpine Head Unit Connecting to Ipod

About a week ago, my Alpine stopped reading my ipod. It still charges the ipod and recognizes its there, but doesnt not play any music.
Previously, when all was well, i would get a "connected to Alpine" screen on my Ipod, now thats not there.
Any ideas?

Check the wire see if its loose or cut maybe? if not if you know any1 else with a alpine try the same wire on their deck to see if the wire is some how faulty or if it just the ipod.

Its the 422i unit...
I didnt mention in the previous post that i placed a broken phone charger into the cig lighter plug which caused sparking. I checked the cars fuses, none were tripped. I wonder if the problems are related...
