Auxiliary input Adapter for Alpine Versatile-Link™ Ready radios.

What is an auxiliary input adapter?An auxiliary input adapter is a passive device that connects to the CD changer port on select Alpine Ai-Net head units and converts it to an audio input. Once installed the user is able to connect many audio devices to the Alpine radio for a clean audio connection and the ability to "tune" the add-on source with Bass Engine™ features. This AAi-ALPA offers audio performance that is more enjoyable than substandard FM-modulated solutions for connecting entertainment devices to Alpine radios.
 [These issues or circumstances may affect compatibility of this product with your radio or vehicle]
1. The AAi-ALPA is compatible with all Alpine Versatile-Link™ ready head units. Click here for partial listing or consult Alpine manual for details.
2. Not all Alpine radios with "CD changer port" are compatible. Radio MUST be Versatile-Link™ (AUX ready) otherwise it will not recognize this part.
3. When the AAi-ALPA (KCA-121B) is used, a changer connection is NOT possible.
4. NOT for Alpine Mini BUS (M-BUS) radios i.e CDM-, TDM etc. These require our ALP/M-3.5M90
5. The AAi-ALPA is 6 inches long and has RCA connectors on one end and right angle Ai-NET connector on the other
6. The Alpine radio will *NOT* control or charge the external audio device connected to the AAI-ALPA

1. CD changer port on radio does not guarantee compatibility with this cable. In addition to the CD changer port, radio must be V-LINK™Ready. Click for Examples.
2. This cable is not applicable to Alpine derived audio systems in Jaguar, Aston Martin, Volvo, Honda, Mercedes, Chrysler etc.

Frequent ask questions
1. My Alpine radio has a cd changer port on the back, will this part work?
A-- Yes, but only if the radio is V-LINK ready OR NON-VERSATILE LINK™ with a pink/black wire on harness.
2. I already have an Alpine CD changer connected, will i have to sacrifice the cd changer to use this cable?
A- YES, but PIE's ALP-AUX adapter will allow you to keep the CD Changer and provide an aux input.
3. I understand Alpine has two bus systems, Ai-NET and M-BUS, how do i identify an Ai-Net radio?
A- Look at the 3rd letter in the model number-- if it's an "A" (Ai-NET); or "M" (M-BUS ) for example: CDA-9811 (Ai-NET), CDM-7874 (M-BUS)
