WARNING
PRECAUTIONS
Temperature
Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very
complex. Because of this, it was deemed necessary to
place these functions into a special screen. This will
restrict operation of these functions to times when the
vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the driver's
attention will be on the road and not on the CVA-1003.
This has been done for the safety of the driver and
passengers.
The Title Input and SETUP screens cannot be made while
the car is moving. The car must be parked and the parking
brake must be engaged for the procedure described in the
Owner's Manual to be valid. The warning "CAN'T
OPERATE WHILE DRIVING," will be displayed if any
attempts are made to perform these operations while
driving.
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between
+45°C (+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit
on.
Maintenance
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit
yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest
Alpine Service Station for servicing.
Installation Location
Make sure the CVA-1003 will not be installed in a
location subjected to:
•
•
•
•
Direct sun and heat
High humidity and water
Excessive dust
This operation is the same as when selecting sources
using the remote control (Optional). When the car is
parked, the selection is made as described in the Owner's
Manual.
Excessive vibrations
Handling the Detachable Front Panel
•
Do not expose to rain or water.
•
Do not drop or apply shock.
Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus,
connected to the CVA-1003, can be operated from the
CVA-1003. Depending on the products connected, the
functions and displays will vary. For details, consult your
Alpine dealer.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button.
The unit beeps 3 times and raises the monitor
automatically.
Some of this unit's functions, cannot be performed
while the vehicle is in motion. Be sure to stop your
vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking
brake, before attempting these operations.
NOTES
• The CVA-1003 is a precision device. With gentle
handling, its unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a
long time.
1
Press the PWR (Power) button to turn on the
unit.
• If the monitor touches an obstacle while it is being
raised, the unit will stop raising the monitor
immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle
and press the OPEN/CLOSE button again to raise the
monitor.
The opening screen appears automatically on
the monitor display.
NOTE
The unit can be turned on by pressing any other button
except the OPEN/CLOSE and ANGLE 7 8 button.
• When the movable monitor is opened, do not place any
object on the monitor and be careful not to bump or
apply any pressure to the monitor while it is open. This
can cause damage to the mechanism.
• Under low ambient temperature conditions, the
display may be dark for a short period of time
immediately after the power is turned on. Once the
LCD has warmed up, the display will return to
normal.
• For your safety, some operation of the unit cannot be
performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case,
first stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake,
then perform the operation.
The volume level gradually increases to the previous
level you were listening to before the unit was turned
off. Press and hold the PWR (Power) button for at
least 2 seconds to turn off the unit.
NOTES
• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image
will remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to
LCD technology and is normal.
• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen may
lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up
period, it will return to normal.
• The CVA-1003 draws minimal current even when its
power switch is turned off. If the switched power
(ignition) lead of the CVA-1003 is connected directly
to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the
battery may be discharged. If this lead is unswitched,
it must be disconnected from the battery post should
the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of
time.
An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold
separately) can be added to simplify this procedure.
Then, you can simply place it in the OFF position
when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back
ON before using the CVA-1003. For connecting the
SPST switch, refer to "Connections Diagram of SPST
Switch" on page 47.
• Some operation of the unit cannot be performed while
the vehicle is in motion. In this case, be sure to first
stop your vehicle and apply the parking brake, then

Installation and Connections
Before installing or connecting the unit, please
read the following and pages 3 and 4 of this
manual thoroughly for proper use.
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.
Warning
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire
or product damage.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Precautions
• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post
before installing your CVA-1003. 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.
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.
•
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 CVA-
1003 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended
circuit of the CVA-1003 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 CVA-1003 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.
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.
•
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
