* If the installed mounting sleeve is loose in the dashboard, the 
pressure plates may be bent slightly to remedy the problem.

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-W265BT/CDE-164BT. Connect all other leads of the 
CDE-W265BT/CDE-164BT according to details described in the

”, use an appropriate screw for the chosen 
mounting location.
3
Slide the CDE-W265BT/CDE-164BT 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.
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.
