Operating Instructions
PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide turn-by-turn instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use this navigation system correctly.
- This product is not a substitute for your personal judgement. Any route suggestions made by this navigation system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgement and/or knowledge of safe driving practises. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
- Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop in a safe and legal manner and location.
- Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor while you are driving. Stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system.
- When using the navigation system to find/route to an emergency service, please contact the facility to validate and verify availability, prior to driving to it. Not all locations of emergency service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgement and your ability to ask for directions in these situations.
- The map database used in the navigation system is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and neighbourhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own personal judgement.
- The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions, it does not take account of the relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your personal judgement if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.
- There may be situations where the navigation system may display the vehicle's location erroneously. Use your own driving judgement in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct the vehicle's position automatically; however, there may be times where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation.
- Make certain that the volume level of the unit is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.
- Please make certain that any other person who intends on using this navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully.
If there is anything in the manual about the operation of the navigation system which you are uncertain about, please contact your local Alpine authorised navigation dealer before using the navigation system.
WARNING
Points to Observe for Safe Usage
- Read this manual carefully before using this disc and the system components. They contain instructions on how to use this product in a safe and effective manner. Alpine cannot be responsible for problems resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this manual.
- This manual uses various pictorial displays to show you how to use this product safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting from improper connections and operation. Following are the meanings of these pictorial displays. It is important to fully understand the meanings of these pictorial displays in order to use this manual and the system properly.
WARNING
- Operation of the system while driving is dangerous. Users should stop vehicle before operating the software.
- Road conditions and regulations take precedence over information contained on the map display: observe actual traffic restrictions and circumstances while driving.
- This software is designed for use exclusively in the unit. It cannot and may not be used in conjunction with other hardware.
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death.
INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS APPLIED.
It is dangerous for the driver to watch TV/Video while driving a vehicle. Installing this product incorrectly enables the driver to watch TV/Video while driving. This may cause a distraction, preventing the driver from looking ahead, thus causing an accident. The driver or other people could be severely injured.
DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.
Watching the video may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.
DO NOT FOLLOW ROUTE SUGGESTIONS IF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM INSTRUCTS YOU TO PERFORM AN UNSAFE OR ILLEGAL MANEUVER, OR PLACES YOU IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR AREA.
This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions by this system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgement or knowledge of safe driving practise.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc. and results in serious accident.
CAUTION
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire's insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.

About the Crossover
Crossover (X-OVER):
This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies for which they have been optimally designed.
The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or lows).
Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, please consult your authorized Alpine dealer.
| Cut-off frequency(1/3 octave steps) | Slope | Level | |||
| HPF LPF | HPF LPF | ||||
| Subwoofer(LPF) | ---- | 20 Hz -200 Hz | ---- | 0, 6, 12, 18,24 dB/oct. | 0 to-12 dB |
| Rearspeaker(HPF) | 20 Hz -200 Hz | ---- | 0, 6, 12, 18,24 dB/oct. | ---- | 0 to-12 dB |
| Frontspeaker(HPF) | 20 Hz -200 Hz | ---- | 0, 6, 12, 18,24 dB/oct. | ---- | 0 to-12 dB |
Low range High range
- HPF (high pass filter): Cuts the lower frequencies and allows the higher frequencies to pass.
- LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the lower frequencies to pass.
- Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one octave.
• The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes. - Adjust the slope to FLAT to bypass the HP or LP filters.
- Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency, as it may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency content.
- Adjustment should be made according to the recommended crossover frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the recommended crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers.
For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer to the respective Owner's Manual.
We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused by using the crossover outside the recommended value.
About Time Correction
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the sound reaching the listener's right versus the left ear.
To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers closest to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased distance for those speakers. The listener can be placed at an equal distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging.
The adjustment will be made for each speaker in 3.4 cm steps.
Example 1. Listening Position: Front Left Seat
Adjust the time correction level of the front left speaker to a high value and the rear right to zero or a low value.
The sound is not balanced because the distance between the listening position and the various speakers is different.
The difference in distance between the front left speaker and the rear right speaker is 1.75 m (68-7/8").
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram on the above.
Conditions:
Farthest Speaker – listening position : 2.25 m (88-9/16")
Front left speaker – listening position : 0.5 m (19-11/16")
Calculation: L = 2.25 m - 0.5 m = 1.75 m (68-7/8")
Time correction = 1.75 ÷ 343* × 1,000 = 5.1 (ms)
* Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20°C
In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.1 ms makes it seem as if its distance from the listener is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker.
Time correction eliminates the differences in the time required for the sound to reach the listening position.
The time of the front left speaker is corrected by 5.1 ms so that its sound reaches the listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.
Example 2. Listening Position: All Seats
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.
1 Sit in the listening position (driver's seat, etc.) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.
2 Calculate the difference between the distance correction value to the farthest speaker and the other speakers.
L = (distance to farthest speaker) - (distance to other speakers)
These values are the time correction values for the different speakers. Setting these values to make each sound reach the listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.

About DAB/DAB+/DMB
What is DAB?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the third generation broadcasting technology following the traditional analogue technologies such as FM. The advantages of DAB include being more robust with regard to noise, interference, instability, etc., during radio signal transmission. Also, it can provide stereo CD-quality sound and digital information, and it can resist multipath interference guaranteeing high-quality reception for fixed, portable and mobile devices.
What is DAB+?
WorldDMB, the organisation in charge of the DAB standards, announced DAB+, a major upgrade to the DAB standard in 2006, when the HE-AAC v2 audio codec (also known as eAAC+) was adopted. The new standard, which is called DAB+, has also adopted the MPEG Surround audio format and stronger error correction coding in the form of Reed-Solomon coding. DAB+ has been standardised as ETSI TS 102 563.
What is DMB?
DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is a future-orientated, new generation broadcasting system based on DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting). Where DAB upgraded the traditional analogue sound of FM to a CD-quality level, DMB advances simple sound broadcasting to the multimedia arena, striving to provide a visual service while transmitting high-quality sound. Users include entertainment programmes, intellectual traffic navigation, electronic newspapers and magazines, information provided by financial markets, the Internet, and integrated city information. It can be widely used by mobile carriers such as buses, taxis, light railways, underground railways, trains, ferries, airports, and by all kinds of people in the home and office.
USB Flash drive (Optional)
You can play back music files (MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC) and video files (AVI/MKV/MP4) stored in a USB flash drive on the internal player of this system.
WARNING
It is dangerous (and illegal in many states) for the driver to watch TV/video while driving the vehicle. The driver may be distracted from looking ahead and an accident could occur.
Install the unit correctly so that the driver cannot watch TV/video unless the vehicle is stopped and the emergency brake is applied.
If the unit is not installed correctly, the driver will be able to watch TV/video while driving the vehicle and may be distracted from looking ahead and cause an accident. The driver or other people could be severely injured.

■ Indication mark meaning
When the car is put into reverse gear, the monitor switches to the rear view camera image. Guides appear to help visualise the car's width and distance from the rear bumper.
① Car width extension marks (red, yellow and green in order of distance)
If properly calibrated, the marks indicate the car's width. This helps guide the car's path when backing up in a straight line.
The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from the rear end of the bumper).
• The marks do not move in synchronisation with the steering wheel.
- Set the marks to suit the car's width.
② Distance guidance marks
The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from the rear end of the bumper).
- The marks do not move in synchronisation with the steering wheel.
- We recommend that you measure the actual distance to the marks when parked on a level surface.
- Depending on the condition of the car or road surface, the range of vision may vary.
- The camera has a limited range of vision. Objects at extreme angles to the camera (e.g. under the bumper or at opposite ends of the bumper) may not be in the its field-of-vision.
- The rear camera image may have a tint which is different from the actual surroundings.
- Depending on the car, the guidance may deviate to the right or left. This is not a malfunction.
Distance guidance mark
The distance guides represent the ground level distance from the rear bumper. It is difficult to accurately estimate the distance to objects above ground level.
In the following example, the distance to A is 0.5 m and the distance to B is 1 m.
In the screen, according to the distance guidance marks, the truck seems to be parked about 1 m away (at the position B). In actual fact, however, if you reversed to position A, you would collide with the truck.
In the screen, positions A, B and C seem to be located in order of proximity. However, in actual fact, the position A and C are the same distance, and B is farther away than positions A and C.
- The car width extension mark represents the distance to the road surface. The distance to an object on the road is not accurately represented by the guides.
Error between the screen and the actual road surface
In the following conditions, errors are produced between the screen guidance and the actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a case when the camera is installed in the standard position.)
When there is a steep upward slope behind the car (example)
Distance guidance marks
The distance guidance mark represents the distance to a flat road surface. Therefore in the case of an upward slope behind the car, the distance guides are displayed closer to the rear bumper than the actual distance. For example, if there is an obstacle on the upward slope, it may appear farther away than its actual position.
Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the actual path of the car on the road surface.
When there is a steep downward slope behind the car (example)
In the case of a downward slope behind the car, the distance guides are displayed farther from the rear bumper than the actual distance.
If there is an obstacle on the downward slope, it seems closer than its actual position.
Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the actual path of the car on the road surface.

About MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC
CAUTION
Except for private use, duplicating audio data (including MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC data) or distributing, transferring, or copying it, whether for free or for a fee, without permission of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited by the Copyright Act and by international treaty.
What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is "MPEG Audio Layer 3," is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardisation Organisation and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realises such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
What is WMA?
WMA, or "Windows Media™ Audio," is compressed audio data. WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.
What is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for "Advanced Audio Coding," and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
What is FLAC?
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio file codec for lossless compression, developed and offered as open source software. Codecs with lossy compression forms, such as MP3 and AAC, reduce part of the data to improve compression efficiency. However, FLAC can reconstruct compressed data to be an identical copy of the original data by performing lossless compression. The compression ratio of FLAC is about 50%.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files, refer to the user's manual for that software. MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files that are playable on this device have the file extensions.
MP3: "mp3"
WMA: "wma"
AAC: "m4a"
FLAC: "flac"/"fla"
WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 10 std or Windows Media Audio 10 Pro Lossless.
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above. It's possible that the format may be unplayable even though the extension is valid.
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

Terminology
Bit rate
This is the "sound" compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.
Sampling rate
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB flash drive) files.
Root folder
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically for all burned discs.

Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire's insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.
Precautions
- Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (-) battery post before installing your unit. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.
- Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
- When making connections to the vehicle's electrical system, be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this unit. When connecting the unit to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the unit has the appropriate amperage. When in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.
- The unit uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized Alpine dealer for assistance.
- Be sure to connect the speaker (−) leads to the speaker (−) terminal. Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to each other or to the vehicle body.

- If the GPS Antenna is mounted near the unit, the reception becomes poor, and the location of your vehicle may not be displayed correctly.
- Mount the GPS Antenna far away enough from the unit.
- Bundle the GPS Antenna cable away from the rear of the unit.
- Some thermal reflection type or thermal absorption type glass may interrupt high frequency waves. If reception is poor with the antenna installed inside the car, try to mount the antenna outside the car.
Mounting the Microphone.
For safe use, make sure of the following:
- Location is stable and firm.
- Driver's view and operations are not obstructed.
- Microphone is located where the driver's voice can be easily picked up (for example, on the sun visor).
When you speak into the microphone, you should not have to change your driving posture. This may cause a distraction, taking your attention away from safely driving your vehicle. Carefully consider direction and distance while mounting the microphone. Confirm that the driver's voice can be easily picked up at the selected location.
Installation example using the Original Mounting Bracket
1 Mount the original mounting bracket to the unit using the supplied screws.
* To securely connect the ground lead, use an already installed screw on a metal part of the vehicle (marked (★ or a clean, bare metal spot on the vehicle's chassis.
