Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following 
and refer to “Operating Instructions” on page 5 for proper use.

WARNING

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. 

Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or 
product damage. 

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. 

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 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. 

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF 
CHILDREN. 

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult 
a physician immediately. 

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

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. 

PRECAUTIONS

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (−) battery post before 

installing your CDE-123R. 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 CDE-123R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended 
circuit of the CDE-123R has the appropriate amperage. Failure to do 
so may result in damage to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in 
doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.

• The CDE-123R 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.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided 
below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial number or the 
engraved serial number is located on the bottom of the unit.
