Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the 
following and pages 4 to 5 of this manual thoroughly 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 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, gear 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.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS 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 
GEARSHIFT.

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 wires 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 VPA-B222. 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 VPA-B222 to the fuse box, make sure 
the fuse for the intended circuit of the VPA-B222 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 VPA-B222 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 plate is 
located on the bottom of the unit.
