Connecting the System

CAUTION

• Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your DVD navigation
unit yourself. Installing or servicing of the product may expose you to risk of
electric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your
navigation unit 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 car 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 GPS antenna lead or microphone lead
to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. Be sure to install
the unit in such a way that it will not obstruct driving.

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

• 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.

• Do not cut the GPS antenna lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the antenna cable could result in a short circuit or malfunc­tion.

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

• Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the DVD navigation unit and tapping into the lead. The
current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

5

Before installing the unit

• This unit is for cars with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in
a recreational car, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical sys­tem, be sure to disconnect the (-) bat­tery cable before beginning installa­tion.

To prevent damage

• When disconnecting a connector, pull
the connector itself. Do not pull the
lead, as you may pull it out of the con­nector.

• If this unit is installed in a car that does
not have an ACC (accessory) position
on the ignition switch, the red lead of
the unit should be connected to a termi­nal coupled with ignition switch
ON/OFF operations. If this is not done,
the car battery may be drained when
you are away from the car for several
hours.

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the
disconnected lead with insulating tape.

Purple/white (REVERSEGEAR SIGNAL INPUT)

This is connected so that the navigation system can
detect whether the car is moving forwards or back­wards. Connect the purple/white lead to the lead
whose voltage changes when the shift lever is put
in reverse. Unless connected, the sensor may not
detect your car traveling forward/backward proper­ly, and thus the position of your car detected by the
sensor may be misaligned from the actual position.

Note: When you use the ND-PG1 speed pulse gen­erator (sold separately), please make sure to con­nect it.

Installation

To guard against electromagnetic interference

• In order to prevent interference, set the following items as far as possible from the main
unit of this Navigation System, other cables or leads:

- TV antenna and antenna lead

- FM, AM antenna and its lead

- GPS antenna and its lead

In addition you should lay each antenna lead as far as possible from other antenna leads.
Do not bind them together, lay them together, or cross them.
Such electromagnetic noise would increase the error for the location display.

Before installing and fixing

• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other mod­ifications of the car.

•Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all
connected up properly, and the unit and the system work properly.

• For the installation and attachment of the Connection box, consult the shop where you
bought the product, or your dealer.

Before using the adhesive tape

• Make sure the surface is free of moisture, dust, grime, oil, etc. before affixing the tape.

Installation notes

• Do not install the main unit in places where it may become subject to high temperatures
or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater outlet.
* Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard or the rear shelf.
* Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to the door.

• The installation strength will depend on the car model and the installation position.
Choose a position where the main unit can be firmly installed, and install it securely.
If the main unit is not securely fastened, the errors in location display will be greater.

• Do not install the main unit on the board covering the spare tire or other places which
are subject to vibration.

• When the main unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the
sliding action of the seat.

• Do not install the main unit anywhere that cargo or the like will get on it. Strong
mechanical shock to the main unit would increase the errors in location display.

• Avoid installing the main unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unload­ing of the spare tire, jack, tools, etc.

• Check that a disc or a PC card can be ejected with the main unit installed.

• Install the main unit on a surface within +30 degrees to -15 degrees tolerance (within
five degrees to the left or right of your car’s direction of travel). A surface tilted more
than this would increase the errors in location display.
