Installation
CAUTION
When you install this unit in your car, do not remove the 
detachable front panel.
If the detachable front panel is removed during installation, you 
might press too hard and warp the metal plate that holds it in 
place.
The main unit must be mounted within 35 degrees of the 
horizontal plane, back to front.
1
Remove the mounting sleeve from the main unit (refer to 
“Removal” on page 29
).
* If the installed mounting sleeve is loose in the dashboard, the 
pressure plates may be bent slightly to remedy the problem.
2
Reinforce the head unit with the metal mounting strap 
(not supplied). Secure the ground lead of the unit to a 
clean metal spot.
Connect each input lead coming from an amplifier to the 
corresponding output lead coming from the left rear of the 
CDE-152/CDE-151/CDE-150. Connect all other leads of the 
CDE-152/CDE-151/CDE-150 according to details described in the 
CONNECTIONS section.
Note
• For the screw marked “
*
”, use an appropriate screw for the chosen 
mounting location.
3
Slide the CDE-152/CDE-151/CDE-150 into the dashboard 
until it clicks. This ensures that the unit is properly locked 
and will not accidentally come out from the dashboard. 
Install the detachable front panel.
1
Remove the detachable front panel.
2
Insert the bracket keys into the unit, along the guides on 
either side. The unit can now be removed from the 
mounting sleeve.
3
Pull the unit out, keeping it unlocked as you do so.
JAPANESE CAR
To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.
• Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the 
car harness.
• Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as 
possible.
• Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove 
any paint, dirt or grease if necessary) of the car chassis.
• If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away 
from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various 
noise suppressors, contact them for further information.
• Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention 
measures so consult your dealer for further information.
