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 color 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.

Installation
Angle of installation
Install at an angle between horizontal and 30°. Note that installing at 
an angle outside of this range will result in a loss of performance and 
possibly damage.
1
Clean the mounting location.
2
Put on the GPS Antenna mounting plate.
3
Mount the GPS Antenna.
• Do not mount the GPS Antenna inside the center console.
- Mount the GPS Antenna on a flat plane of the dash board or rear 
tray.
- Make sure the GPS Antenna is not covered (obstructed) by any 
metallic surface or object.
• 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.
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.
X208U user
To install the X208U, refer to the manual in the separately 
purchased installation kit for each car type.
Caution
Do not block the unit’s fan, thus preventing air circulation. If 
blocked, heat will accumulate inside the unit and may cause 
a fire.
