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-1004R will not be installed in a location subjected to:

  • Direct sun and heat
  • High humidity and water
  • Excessive dust
  • Excessive vibrations

Handling the Detachable Front Panel

  • Do not expose to rain or water.
  • Do not drop or apply shock.

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-1004R.  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. These operations are not possible while you are driving. Also if you attempt to drive during operation, the display will show the warning “CAN’T OPERATE WHILE DRIVING” for 5 seconds. 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.
Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the CVA-1004R, can be operated from the
CVA-1004R. Depending on the products connected, the functions and displays will vary. For details, consult your Alpine dealer.
