Precautions
Your new product and this
manual
Do not operate this product, any applica-
tions, or the rear view camera option (if
purchased) if doing so will divert your
attention in any way from the safe opera-
tion of your vehicle. Always observe safe
driving rules and follow all existing traffic
regulations. If you experience difficulty in
operating this product or reading the dis-
play, park your vehicle in a safe location
and apply the handbrake before making
the necessary adjustments.
Do not install this product where it may
(i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair
the performance of any of the vehicle’s
operating systems of safety features,
including airbags, hazard lamp buttons,
or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely
operate the vehicle. In some cases, it may
not be possible to install this product
because of the vehicle type or the shape
of the vehicle interior.
Important safeguards
WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you
install this product yourself. This prod-
uct is designed for professional instal-
lation only. We recommend that only
authorised Pioneer service personnel,
who have special training and experi-
ence in mobile electronics, set up and
install this product. NEVER SERVICE
THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing
or servicing this product and its connect-
ing cables may expose you to the risk of
electric shock or other hazards, and can
cause damage to this product that is not
covered by warranty.
Connection
Precautions before connecting
the system
WARNING
Do not take any steps to tamper with or
disable the handbrake interlock system
which is in place for your protection.
Tampering with or disabling the hand-
brake interlock system could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Secure all wiring with cable clamps
or electrical tape. Do not allow any
bare wiring to remain exposed.
Do not directly connect the yellow
lead of this product to the vehicle
battery. If the lead is directly con-
nected to the battery, engine vibra-
tion may eventually cause the insula-
tion to fail at the point where the wire
passes from the passenger compart-
ment into the engine compartment. If
the yellow lead’s insulation tears as
a result of contact with metal parts,
short-circuiting can occur, resulting
in considerable danger.
It is extremely dangerous to allow
cables to become wound around the
steering column or gearstick. Be sure
to install this product, its cables, and
wiring away in such so that they will
not obstruct or hinder driving.
Make sure that the cables and wires
will not interfere with or become
caught in any of the vehicle’s moving
parts, especially the steering wheel,
gearstick, handbrake, sliding seat
tracks, doors, or any of the vehicle’s
controls.
Do not route wires where they will
be exposed to high temperatures. If
the insulation heats up, wires may
become damaged, resulting in a short
circuit or malfunction and permanent
damage to the product.
Do not shorten any leads. If you do,
the protection circuit (fuse holder,
fuse resistor or filter, etc.) may fail to
work properly.
Never feed power to other electronic
products by cutting the insulation of
the power supply lead of this prod-
uct and tapping into the lead. The
current capacity of the lead will be
exceeded, causing overheating.
Before installing this product
Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and
negative earthing only. Failure to do so
may result in a fire or malfunction.
To avoid shorts in the electrical system,
be sure to disconnect the (–) battery
cable before installation.
To prevent damage
WARNING
Use speakers over 50 W (output
value) and between 4 W to 8 W
(impedance value). Do not use 1 W to
3 W speakers for this unit.
The black lead is earth. Please earth
this lead separately from the earth of
high-current products such as power
amps. Do not earth more than one
product together with the earth from
another product. For example, you
must separately earth any amp unit
away from the earth of this product.
Connecting earths together can
cause a fire and/or damage the prod-
ucts if their earths became detached.
When replacing the fuse, be sure
to only use a fuse of the rating pre-
scribed on this product.
This product cannot be installed in a
vehicle without ACC (accessory) position
on the ignition switch.

To avoid short-circuiting, cover the
disconnected lead with insulating tape.
It is especially important to insulate all
unused speaker leads, which if left uncov-
ered may cause a short circuit.
For connecting a power amp or other
devices to this product, refer to the
manual for the product to be connected.
■ Notice for the blue/white lead
When the ignition switch is turned on
(ACC ON), a control signal is output
through the blue/white lead. Connect to
an external power amp’s system remote
control terminal, the auto-aerial relay con-
trol terminal, or the aerial booster power
control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC).
The control signal is output through the
blue/white lead, even if the audio source
is switched off.
