Indication mark meaning
When the car is put into reverse gear, the monitor switches to the rear view camera image. Guides appear to help visualize the car's width and distance from the rear bumper.

1. Car width extension marks (red, yellow and green in order of distance)
   If properly calibrated, the marks indicate the car's width. This helps guide the car's path when backing up in a straight line.
   The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (at the end of the bumper).
   • The marks do not move in synchronization with the steering wheel.
   • Set the marks to suit the car's width.
2. Distance guidance marks
   The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from the end of the bumper).
   • The marks do not move in synchronization with the steering wheel.
   • We recommend that you measure the actual distance to the marks when parked on a level surface.

• Depending on the condition of the car or road surface, the range of vision may vary.
• The camera has a limited range of vision. Objects at extreme angles to the camera (e.g. under the bumper or at opposite ends of the bumper) may not be in the its field-of-vision.
• The rear camera image may have a tint which is different from the actual surroundings.
• Depending on the car, the guidance may deviate to the right or left.
• This is not a malfunction.

Distance guidance mark
The distance guides represent the ground level distance from the rear bumper. It is difficult to accurately estimate the distance to objects above ground level.
In the following example, the distance to A is 0.5 m and the distance to B is 1 m.

In the screen, according to the distance guidance marks, the truck seems to be parked about 1 m away (at the position B). In actual fact, however, if you reversed to position A, you would collide with the truck.
In the screen, positions A, B and C seem to be located in order of proximity. However, in actual fact, the position A and C are the same distance, and B is farther away than positions A and C.

• The car width extension mark represents the distance to the road surface. The distance to an object on the road is not accurately represented by the guides.
• In the following conditions, screen visibility may be impaired. This is not a malfunction.
  • When it is dark (during the night, etc.).
  • Under very high or very low temperature conditions.
  • When water drops adhere to the camera, or when the humidity is high (such as rainy weather, etc.).
  • When foreign bodies (such as mud, etc.) adhere to the camera or its peripheral area.
  • When sunlight or headlights directly strike the camera lens.

Error between the screen and the actual road surface
In the following conditions, errors are produced between the screen guidance and the actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a case when the camera is installed in the standard position.)

• When there is a steep upward slope behind the car (example)
  The distance guidance mark represents the distance to a flat road surface. Therefore in the case of an upward slope behind the car, the distance guides are displayed closer to the rear bumper than the actual distance. For example, if there is an obstacle on the upward slope, it may appear farther away than its actual position.
  Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the actual path of the car on the road surface.
  
• When there is a steep downward slope behind the car (example)
  In the case of a downward slope behind the car, the distance guides are displayed farther from the rear bumper than the actual distance.
  If there is an obstacle on the downward slope, it seems closer than its actual position.
  Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the actual path of the car on the road surface.

Installation Location
Make sure the iLX-107 will not be installed in a location subjected to:

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

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 iLX-107. This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers. Some setup operations cannot be made if 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 "Unable to operate while driving." will be displayed if any attempts are made to perform these operations while driving.

• The iLX-107 draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the iLX-107 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the battery may be discharged.
  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 iLX-107. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the "Connection Diagram of SPST Switch". If the power (ignition) lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time.

Protecting the USB connector

• Only an iPhone 5 or later or Flash memory can be connected to the USB connector on this unit. Correct performance using other USB products cannot be guaranteed.
• If the USB connector is used, be sure to use only the supplied connector cable with the unit. A USB hub is not supported.
• USB Flash memory is used for data file transfer or updates only.
• This unit does not support Flash memory's Audio/Video playback or photo browse.

Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (sold separately)
(If the ACC power supply is not available)

• If your vehicle has no ACC power supply, add a SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) and fuse (sold separately).
• The diagram and the fuse amperage shown above are in the case when iLX-107 is used individually.
• If the switched power (ignition) lead of the iLX-107 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the iLX-107 draws some current (several hundred milliamperes) even when its switch is placed in the OFF position, and the battery may be discharged.

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.

Warning

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following information thoroughly for proper use.

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 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.

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 iLX-107. 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 iLX-107 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the iLX-107 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 iLX-107 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.
• The Display must be completely retracted in the casing when installing. If it is not, problems may occur.
• When installing in automobiles, make sure the Display can open/close without coming in contact with the gear shift.
