WARNING

• To avoid the risk of accident and the potential
violation of applicable laws, no viewing of front
seat video should ever occur while the vehicle is
being driven. Also, rear displays should not be in
a location where they are visibly distracting to the
driver.

• In some countries or states the viewing of images
on a display inside a vehicle even by persons
other than the driver may be illegal. Where such
regulations apply, they must be obeyed and this
unit’s DVD features should not be used.

CAUTION

• PIONEER does not recommend that you
install or service your display yourself.
Installing or servicing the product may
expose you to risk of electric shock or other
hazards. Refer all installation and servicing
of your display to authorized Pioneer service
personnel.

• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or
electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring
to remain exposed.

• Do not drill a hole into the engine
compartment to connect the yellow lead
of the unit to the vehicle battery. Engine
vibration may eventually cause the insulation
to fail at the point where the wire passes from
the passenger compartment into the engine
compartment. Take extra care in securing the
wire at this point.

• It is extremely dangerous to allow the display
lead to become wound around the steering
column or gearshift. Be sure to install the
display in such a way that it will not obstruct
driving.

• Make sure that wires will not interfere with
moving parts of the vehicle, such as the
gearshift, parking brake or seat sliding
mechanism.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the
protection circuit may fail to work properly.

WARNING

LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT POWER CONNECTOR

IS DESIGNED TO DETECT PARKED STATUS
AND MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER
SUPPLY SIDE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH.
IMPROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF THIS
LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE LAW AND MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE.

WARNING

• Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and
between 4 Ω to 8 Ω (impedance value). Do not use
1 Ω to 3 Ω speakers for this unit.

• The black cable is ground. When installing this
unit or power amp (sold separately), make sure
to connect the ground wire first. Ensure that
the ground wire is properly connected to metal
parts of the car’s body. The ground wire of the
power amp and the one of this unit or any other
device must be connected to the car separately
with different screws. If the screw for the ground
wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire,
generation of smoke or malfunction.

Important

• This unit cannot be installed in a vehicle without
ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch.

near the heater outlet.

— Do not connect the yellow cable to the battery

by passing it through the hole to the engine
compartment.

— Cover any disconnected cable connectors with

insulating tape.
— Do not shorten any cables.
— Never cut the insulation of the power cable of

this unit in order to share the power with other

devices. The current capacity of the cable is

limited.
— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
— Never wire the speaker negative cable directly

to ground.
— Never band together negative cables of

multiple speakers.

• When this unit is on, control signals are sent
through the blue/white cable. Connect this cable
to the system remote control of an external power
amp or the vehicle’s auto-antenna relay control
terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the vehicle is
equipped with a glass antenna, connect it to the
antenna booster power supply terminal.

• Never connect the blue/white cable to the power
terminal of an external power amp. Also, never
connect it to the power terminal of the auto
antenna. Doing so may result in battery drain or a
malfunction.

• IP-BUS connectors are color-coded. Be sure to
connect connectors of the same color.

• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative
grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a
fire or malfunction.

• To prevent short-circuit, overheating or
malfunction, be sure to follow the directions
below.

— Disconnect the negative terminal of the

battery before installation.

— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or

adhesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around
wiring that comes into contact with metal
parts to protect the wiring.

— Place all cables away from moving parts, such

as gear shift and seat rails.

— Place all cables away from hot places, such as

Installation using the screw
holes on the side of the unit

Fastening the unit to the factory

radio-mounting bracket.

Position the unit so that its screw holes are
aligned with the screw holes of the bracket,
and tighten the screws at 3 or 4 locations on
each side.

If the pawl gets in the way,
bend it down.
