Installing EZi-DAB-BT in your vehicle
Important safety notice
For your safety, do not run cables so that they interfere with operation of the vehicle, or through a location that would interfere
with the function of the airbags or other safety equipment, for example seat belts. Do not install any of EZi-DAB-BT’s components
in a location that obstructs the view of the driver or in a location where digital radio interference may be caused from the metal
bodywork or other components.
Receiver positioning overview
The receiver is designed to be installed on a window
using the self-adhesive pads provided.
Make sure that you install the receiver in a safe position
where the primary viewing area is not obstructed. Your
windscreen can be divided into separate zones to help
you determine where the receiver can be safely placed:
Zone A is a vertical area 290mm wide, centred on the
steering wheel and contained within the swept area of
the windscreen (this area is 350mm wide on vehicles
over 3.5 tonnes) which must not be incurred upon by
more than 1cm.
Note: Fitting EZi-DAB-BT in this area is not recommended.
Zone B is the remainder of the swept area of the
windscreen which must not be incurred upon by more
than 4cm.
The above information is a guide only, for full
information you should consult the relevant country
department of transport guidelines.

Considerations before installing EZi-DAB-BT
Minimum vehicle requirements
• Fitted audio system with either aux-in (3.5 mm) or FM receiver.
• Standard 12V negative earth power system - not suitable for 24V systems.
Check for the latest EZi-DAB-BT software updates
Visit www.alpine-europe.com to see if any software updates are available for your EZi-DAB-BT.
Test intended positions of receiver and wireless controller before fixing into place
• Check the cable length to ensure connectors can reach the audio and accessory power outlet positions.
• Temporarily place the receiver and wireless controller in their intended positions and check that EZi-DAB-BT is working as
expected. Check the digital radio quality and signal strength (see ‘Info’ on page 23 for more information).
Receiver positioning
• Ensure you can easily access the ‘Reset’ button on the receiver before fitting.
• For best performance we recommend positioning the receiver away from heated screen elements and not on glass panels
that contain metallic UV filters.
Wireless controller positioning
Consider usability and visibility from driving seat and possible mounting points/brackets.
Connecting to your existing audio system
There are two options for installing EZi-DAB-BT. You can connect EZi-DAB-BT to your audio system’s auxiliary connection or you
can transmit to your audio system wirelessly using an available FM frequency.
• If you want to use an auxiliary cable (recommended for best performance), check for auxiliary inputs on the existing audio
system (this may be on the back on some audio systems). For more information, see your existing audio system’s user guide.
• If you want to use an available FM frequency, select this option during initial EZi-DAB-BT setup (see page 14 for more information).
Note: To comply with legal requirements the FM transmitter function of EZi-DAB-BT will switch o if no audio is transmitted for a
period lasting over a minute - this includes DAB radio or audio streamed from your phone or tablet. If FM transmission is switched
o you need to re-tune to an active DAB station or stream audio from your phone or tablet.

Optional detachable magnetic grounding tail
We recommend fitting the magnetic grounding tail if you
can stick it to a metal part of your vehicle’s bodywork.
It can improve DAB reception in areas with poor signal
strength. See the next page for installation guidance.

Installing the receiver
3. Remove the backing from the receiver (A) and attach to your windscreen.
Note: Make sure that you install EZi-DAB-BT in a safe position where the
primary viewing area is not obstructed (see page 5).
4. Gently unpeel the backing of the film antenna (B) and attach to your
windscreen, taking care not to bend it. Apply gentle pressure until the film
antenna is held firmly in position.
Note: Take care not to unclip the film antenna from the receiver when
attaching to your windscreen.
2. Use the supplied cleaning wipe to clean the area of the windscreen
that you want to install the receiver and film antenna on and wait for the
surface to dry. Important: Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry
before adhesion.
Note: The receiver and antenna should be installed at least 40mm from
your vehicle’s metal bodywork.

1. If you decided to fit the magnetic grounding tail, gently pull down the
front of the roof liner so that there is enough room to push the detachable
magnetic grounding tail through the gap.
Note: Ensure that the magnet on the end of the magnetic grounding
tail makes contact with the roof above your vehicle’s headliner or the
vehicle’s metal bodywork surface.
We recommend installing EZi-DAB-BT’s receiver on your vehicle’s windscreen as described below (see page 5 for more information).

1. Identify the location of the vehicle power outlet and the auxiliary
audio input (if required).
2. Uncoil the cable (A) from the receiver (B) and place in its intended
position. Check there is adequate length for the cable to run to the
12V accessory socket and the auxiliary connection.
3. Route the cable so it is near your 12V accessory socket (C). Try to
secure the cable by tucking the cable behind the trim on the side of
your windscreen.
4. If you are connecting EZi-DAB-BT to your audio system using the
auxiliary connection, separate the auxiliary cable (D) from the USB
power cable by gently pulling the cables apart to the right length
and connect to the auxiliary connection (E) on your audio system.
If you are using FM transmission, coil the auxiliary connection cable
and stow away in a safe position.
5. Secure the cables using the self-adhesive clips (F) (if required). Ensure
all surfaces are completely clean and dry before adhesion.

the adapter’s USB ports.
Note: Cigarette lighter and power sockets can vary between
car makes and models. Ensure the power adapter is completely
inserted and is firmly held in position.
Note: Other electronic devices can interfere with EZi-DAB-BT’s
DAB performance, for best results only use the supplied
EZi-DAB-BT power adapter to power the receiver.
