I had a simular problem with my Alpine radio. It drove me nuts. I only live 30 min from Alpine so I took it there. It worked perfect. Long story short, the problem was two things. 1. Factory harness was bad.
2. I had installed their plug in amp. Problem is that it only works with 4 speakers hooked up. With just 2 speakers it would skip like an old record. I hooked up the rear speakers and It has been perfect since. Don't know if this will help but I thought I would try.
