Data such as Call Sign, Frequency and Music Category are stored for each station receivable within a 30 square mile are or a 90 square mile grid.

Although it is only a CD Shuttle Controller/Tuner it retails for about $650 dollars. You can see this unit profiled in Alpine's Digital Max pamphlet where they show the 1310 coupled to the Alpine 5957S Digital Max CD Shuttle and on of three Alpine Digital Max Signal Processors. Despite its seemingly limited functionality its a very cool unit and well worth the money if you have it. In any event this article is for people who did not have the money and obtained the 1310 by some other means. Keep in mind this article has nothing to do with obtaining one of these units, the scope is no broader than an instructional on how to defeat the CODE protection. But for those of you who have not yet obtained Alpine's Flagship Stereo, here are a few tips: TIPS ON OBTAINING THE 1310 There are three primary parts of the complete Alpine 1310: New Unit (complete): 1310 CD Shuttle Controller w/ID Logic Tuner.....Retail Price $650 Parts: Face Plate......................................Replacement Price: $400 Compact (under dash) Tuner Unit.................Replacement Price: $250 Harnessing Sheath...............................Replacement Price: $200 Connection Wire Kit.............................Replacement Price: $175 ---- Total: $1,025 As you can see the 1310s parts are greater than the su, of the whole damn thing. Anyway I would try to get as many of these parts of the unit as I can. * TIP 1 * There is a flaw with the Harnessing Sheath (the part the faceplate goes into) because the teeth that are supposed to be bent back and hold the harness into the dash were engineered too short and also theres no place to put a screw in the harness. Summarily 1310 Harnessing Sheaths are not secured very well into ANY dash board and are therefore relativley easy to pull out. * TIP 2 * There will be a thick DIN cable connected to this Harnessing Sheath. Whatever you do, DO NOT CUT THIS CABLE. This cable (and only this cable) goes to the Tuner Unit which will be somewhere under the dash. If you cut this cable the Harnessing Sheath is pretty much worthless no matter how much of a wiring genius you may think you are. Try to tug at the cable and unplug it from the Tuner Unit. Granted, you maybe in a bit of rush in the process of obtaining your unit, but theres always enough time to do a job right. * TIP 3 * The DIN cable is LESS than a meter long. Given this you might be able to determine about where the Tuner Unit is located in relation to the Harnessing Sheath it is connected to. Once you have determined where the Tuner Unit is, try and yank that sucker out. It will be secured with NO MORE than four screws, but usually only two, and possibly only one. Why? Because car stereo installers are lazy, crooks, thats why! At this point it will be assumed that you have obtained all of the parts of the stereo and you're ready to hook it up. The only problem is that the unit is CODE Protected (see FEATURES). To defeat the code protection follow the following cookbook instructions: DEFEATING THE CODE 1. Most human beings are stupid and will not change the the 1310's code (or any other CODE protected devices) from the Factory Preset Code. This assumed go directly to step four (4) and ignore * NOTE *. If after following steps four and five you have not defeated the code protection then you have obtained your stereo from a fairly smart person and you must goto step two (2). 2. Take the back off the Face Plate...you will see a small memory battery SOLDERED into place....DON'T TRY TO TAKE IT OUT...just short it out by crossing the positive and negative sides of the battery with a wire....there will be no indication that you have done it (no puff of smoke or electrical sound like in Hollywood movies) but its not that hard to do short. If you think you have done it you probably did... * NOTE * By completing this step you have erased all user definable memory including any user programmed code. The 1310 is now virgin (so to speak). 3. Put the unit back together and hook it up...(a 12 volt battery charger works fine as a power source) 4. Now turn the unit on....it may or may not say flash the word CODE. In any event you will see a small recessed button just to the right of the CLOCK Button. This is the RESET Button. Push that with a penciltip and the unit will reset itself and turn itself off... * NOTE * No dumbshit hitting the RESET Buttonalone will not set the 1310 back to the factory code. YOU HAVE TO SHORT THE UNIT FIRST! 5. Wait about 2 seconds (important) and turn the unit back on and it WILL be flashing CODE...do the following: a. Press the USER Button and the numbers '0000' will be displayed. b. Use the N - S - E - W directional buttons to enter the code '0100'...this is the New Product Code used for ALL currently produced CODE Protected Alpines. c. Press the TUNER/BAND Button to accept code. You are now done! * NOTE * This process of CODE Entry need only be followed when the Tuner Unit (yes the Tuner Unit, not the Face Plate) has been COMPLETELY deprived of power. In other words, once you have the 1310 installed in your car and everything is hooked up you will not have to do this again unless your battery dies or something. If so simply follow step five (5). FINAL NOTE: CHANGING THE CODE I'm kind of tired so I'll run through this quick. Once you have your unit installed and you have bypassed the CODE Protection and the unit plays and works fine, you can follow the following procedure to change the code to whatever you like: * NOTE * In the following steps you will be entering the OLD code (probably the factory preset) and then your own NEW code and then the OLD code again to register your own NEW code. Its kind of a pain in the ass but its obvious why they did it (so noone who didn't know the code could simply change it to something they did know duh!) 1. Turn on the unit and press the TUNER/BAND Button to switch the 1310 to TUNER mode. 2. Press and hold the HOME/TITLE Button for more than 2 seconds until CODE is displayed. 3. Press the USER/INTRO Button and the unit will display '0000' with the first digit blinking. 4. Input the previous code with the directional N - S - E - W buttons. If you're doing this for the first time since Reset then enter the code '0100'. 5. Press the TUNER/BAND Button to accept the code and the display will blink CODE. 6. Press the USER/INTRO button again. The display will show '0000' with the first digit blinking. This means it is ready to accept your code. 7. Use the directional N - S - E - W buttons again to enter your code. 8. Press the TUNER/BAND Button to enter each number respectivley and following the entry of your new code the display will blink your new code for 5-10 seconds and then CODE will be displayed. 9. To register the new code you must repeat steps 3,4, and 5 entering the OLD code number. 10. Once step five is completed your unit will (hopefully) be on tuner and you will never have to do this shit again until next time. ************** The procedures of CODE Defeating, CODE Entry, and CODE Re- * READ THIS! * programming work on ANY Alpine CODE Protected UNIT with ID ************** LOGIC made before and up til the date of this files release.
