Alpine Cda-9812rb And How To Connect It To Battery

[rlm]

I am just about to buy one of these, but upon looking through the manual I can see that it requires a connection to the car's Battery. I have a P1 T-sport and have no idea how to go about connecting this up, any help would be much appreciated. I assume there is already a hole from the engine bay to inside the car for the wiring loom, is there space for an additional wire and what kind of cableing would I require. As I said I'm pretty clueless so please be gentle :P

The instruction manual is here and the installation guide starts on page 42 of the PDA. I really want this head unit but this is scaring me away from it.

Cheers.

You don't need to connect it to the Battery as the wiring loom will provide the power - plus check these two links for all you need to know !

Headunit Fitting, All you need to know..

Fitting Head Unit In Yaris, Need Part Codes (Facias etc)

Everything is in there that you need to know ...... anything else just ask!

yes you do

some top end alpine models have a direct Battery feed with a condensor to provide it purer power rather than hoping off the existing system

just run a lead though the bulkhead to the batter, make sure you have a fuse within 6 inch of the Battery for safety :)
