You need to disconnect the wire that goes to ACC and run it directly to a constant 12 volt source. Make sure you install a fuse in this line.....If I remember right....a fuse was provided...not too sure though. Anybody else?

Hey hydroxy, I just ran down stairs to my X and grabbed the installation manual for the Alpine (you have the same model as I do). On page 38 you will see the schematic/wiring hookup. The red wire labeled IGNITION is the one you want to run to a constant 12 volt source. Make sure you fuse it just like the Yellow wire going to your battery. Good luck.

How do you guys like the Alpine HUs? I'm thinking of getting the new Alpine CDA-7893. Any input is helpful.

I just got the Alpine 7893 HU and love it! i don't have any pics of it installed but it looks great. It also gives you great control over everything.
