To Users Updating the Application Program

You need an AV Head Unit or Display with touch panel capabil­ity to use this software.
Make sure to use a display suitable for this system.

This software can be used with the following models:
AVIC-9DVD, AVIC-90DVD, AVIC-80DVD, AVIC-88DVD

Please read the cautions on the next page before using the CNDV-40MT disc as
there is a possible risk that the stored user-registered data may lost upon comple­tion of the update. Please be aware that the manufacturer cannot take any responsibility

for lost data in the event the data is lost.
Upgrading to the newer version ➞ page 55

The screen shown in the example may differ from the actual screen.
The actual screen may be changed without notice for performance and function
improvements.

Cautions on Updating the Application Program of the Navigation System:

• Stop the vehicle in a safe location. While the program update is in progress, ensure
that the power supply of the Navigation System is not turned off.

• When the update procedure is complete, the Navigation System will be restarted.After
the system has started up again, make sure not to turn off the power supply for the
Navigation System until the map of your surroundings appears.

• During the update process, there is the possible risk of the “Address Book”(*) data and
the “Destination History” data being lost. It is highly recommended to use a PC Card
(PCMCIA TYPE II <5 V>) to back up Address Book data. (Since the “Destination
History” cannot be stored on a PC Card directly, to keep the “Destination History” data,
first store it in the Address Book, then onto the PC Card.)
*“Address Book” data includes “Return Home” and “Go to” contents.

•Any existing calculated routes will be canceled.

•Personalized settings will return to their factory settings.

Application Program Update Procedure

Refer to the update procedure in the “Installing the Program” section (P.55) of this man­ual.

Precaution

Parking brake interlock

Certain functions offered by this Navigation Sys­tem could be dangerous if used while driving. To
prevent them being used while in motion, there is
an interlock with your vehicle’s parking brake. If
you attempt to use these functions during driv­ing, their onscreen touch keys may be indicated
in gray and inoperable. If so, stop in a safe place,
apply the parking brake, then operate.

To ensure safe driving

• To avoid the risk of accident and the
potential violation of applicable laws, the
navigation system is not for use with a
video screen (DVD video, TV, etc.) that is
visible 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.

The navigation system detects whether your vehi­cle’s parking brake is engaged or not, and pre­vents you from watching a DVD or TV on this
display while driving. When you attempt to watch
a DVD or TV, the warning VIDEO VIEWING IS
NOT AVAILABLE WHILE DRIVING will
appear on the screen.

11

To watch a DVD or TV on this display, park your
vehicle in a safe place and apply the parking
brake.

About AV Head Units /Displays
to be Connected

•a source unit can be connected to it directly,
and

•a built-in amplifier and display are equipped.

You need an AV head Unit or Display with a
touch panel feature to use this software. If a

display that dose not have a touch panel feature
is connected, the software will not function prop­erly. This includes Pioneer displays that do not
have touch panel features. Make sure to use a
display suitable for the system. For details, con­sult a dealer or product catalog.

Group 1 – AV Head Unit

The type of the unit that can be a control master
with the following features (e.g. AVH-P6600DVD,
AVH-P6500DVD, and AVH-P7500DVD):

Group 2 – Display Type AVD

The type of the unit that has a built-in amplifier
only for the built-in speaker(s) and cannot be a
control master because other unit cannot be con­nected to it (e.g. AVD-W6210).

Group 3 – AV system display with Master/
Slave switch

The type of the unit that has no amplifier and can
be a control master by being switched to Master
and connected with other unit(s) (e.g. AVX­P8DVD).

Characteristics of the Naviga­tion System when combined
with Pioneer AV Head Unit or
AV System Display

When the navigation system is combined with a
Pioneer AV Head Unit or AV System Display, you
can use the Navigation screen to confirm infor­mation on the audio equipment being played or
you can use the Audio Operation screen of the
Pioneer AV Head Unit or AV System Display to
confirm route guidance information. Also, you
can use the Pioneer AV Head Unit or AV System
Display to select the built-in DVD player of the
Navigation System as a “NAVI Source”. (Naviga­tion unit that cannot play DVD-Videos or CDs on
the built-in DVD-ROM drive cannot be selected as
a source.)
When you approach an intersection with the
Audio Operation screen displayed, an enlarged
map of the intersection appears. When you have
passed through the intersection, the display
reverts to the Audio Operation screen.

➲ You can also operate audio equipment by

Cautions When Connecting a
Rear Display to the Front Dis­play

The map screen navigation images output to the
rear display differ from standard NTSC format
images. Therefore, their quality will be inferior to
the images that appear on the front display.

➲ Switching the rear display ➞ the manual for

the display you are combining.

Vehicles that Cannot Obtain
Speed Pulse Data

❒ The speed pulse data comes from the speed

sensing circuit. The location of this speed
sensing circuit depends on your vehicle
model. In some cases, it is impossible to
make a connection to it, and in such a case
we recommend that the ND-PG1 speed pulse
generator (sold separately) be used.

Conditions Likely to Cause
Noticeable Positioning Errors

For various reasons such as the state of the road
you are traveling on and the state of reception of
the GPS signal, the actual position of your vehicle
may differ from the position displayed on the map
screen.
Some types of vehicle may not output a speed
signal while driving at just a few kilometers per
hour. In such a case, the current location of your
vehicle may not be displayed correctly while in a
traffic jam or in a parking lot.

About the Data being Deleted

The following items are erased by pushing the
RESET button or disconnect yellow lead from
battery (or remove the battery itself).

Limitation of Functions for
Areas not Stored on the Disc

For areas not stored on the disc (unrecorded
areas), the functions will operate as follows:

➲ Inoperable buttons for unrecorded areas ➞

Page 21

Appendix

Displaying the Map

• Maps with a scale of between 0.02 mi and 0.25
mi cannot be displayed. (If the scale was set to
between 0.02 mi and 0.25 mi, it is automati­cally switched to 0.5 mi.)

59

• When driving with Guide View, Route View
or Driver’s View, upon entering an unre­corded area the display automatically switches
to Map View. (When the vehicle re-enters an
area stored on the disc, the display returns to
the previous map mode except for Driver’s

View.)

Destination Search

• You cannot search a destination in an unre­corded area using Address Search, POI
Search, or Telephone Search. (In case of the
POI search, only “City Center” search is possi­ble.)

• If you cannot search in a currently selected
zone, the system may forcibly switch to the
zone selection screen.

•A Freeway Search covers all areas, regard-
less of the disc on which the information is
recorded.

• If a Vicinity Search is performed on the bor­der of an unrecorded area, the system will not
necessarily select the nearest facility. (The
search will take place only within the range of
areas recorded on the disc.)

Guidance

• When your vehicle approaches an unrecorded
area, you will be notified three times: when the
distance to the unrecorded area is 12 mi (20

Appendix

km), 6 mi (10 km) and 3 mi (5 km) respectively.
When your vehicle enters the unrecorded area,
a caution is given.

• In the unrecorded area, only guidance for
reaching the destination is provided. No other
guidance is given.

• If a route calculation is operated within an
unrecorded area, the route might not be set
from the streets you are currently driving. Also,
if you set the destination in an unrecorded
area of the disc, the system may not be able to
set the route up to the destination.

• If the vehicle deviates from the set route in an
unrecorded area, the Auto Reroute function
will not work.

• Even if “Close-up of Junction” is “ON”, the
display will not switch to an enlarged map of
the intersection.

• The arrow indicating the traveling direction will
not be displayed in the Audio screen.

Route Information

• If the set route goes through an unrecorded
area, no route profile for the unrecorded area
will be displayed. (If the set route traverses
both an unrecorded area and area stored on
the disc, only the route profile within the
recorded area will be displayed.)

• Route scrolling for an unrecorded area is pos­sible only with a map scale of 0.5 mi or above.

Other Function Limitations

Overlay POI

• Overlay POI is not available in an unrecorded
area.

Avoid Area

• An area not stored on the disc cannot be set as
an Area to Avoid.

❒ A set Area to Avoid may be deleted when the

software is updated. If this happens, the sys­tem will automatically try to recover the
deleted information, but data can be recov­ered only for areas stored on the disc. For
items that could not be recovered, a recovery
process will begin when you set another disc.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems operating your Navigation System, refer to this section. The most common prob­lems are listed below, along with likely causes and solutions. While this list is not comprehensive, it
should answer your most common problems. If a solution to your problem cannot be found here, con­tact your dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer service facility.

Problems in the Navigation screen

Symptom Cause Action (See)

large.

Leads and connectors are incorrectly
connected.

The fuse is blown. Rectify the reason for the fuse blow-

The quality of signals from the GPS
satellites is poor, causing reduced
positioning accuracy. Such a loss of
signal quality may happen for the fol­lowing reasons:

•The GPS antenna is in an unsuita­ble location.

•Obstacles are blocking signals from
the satellites.

•The position of satellites relative to
your vehicle is bad.

•Signals from the GPS satellites
have been modified to reduce accu­racy. (GPS satellites are operated by
the US Department of Defense, and
the US government reserves the right
to distort positioning data for military
reasons. This may lead to greater
positioning errors.)

•If a vehicle phone or cellular phone
is used near the GPS antenna, GPS
reception may be lost temporarily.

•Do not cover the GPS antenna with
spray paint or vehicle wax, because
this may block the reception of GPS
signals. Snow buildup can also
degrade the signals.

Signals from the vehicle’s speed
pulse are not being picked up prop­erly.

Route Setting Information

Route search specifications

Your Navigation System sets a route to your desti­nation by applying certain built-in rules to the
map data. This section provides some useful
information about how a route is set.

• When a route is calculated, the route and
voice guidance for the route is automati­cally set. Also, for day or time traffic regu­lations, only information about traffic
regulations at the time when the route was
calculated is shown. One-way streets and
street closures may not be taken into con­sideration. For example, if a street is open
during the morning only, but you arrive
later, it would be against the traffic regula­tions so you cannot drive along the set
route. When driving, please follow the
actual traffic signs. Also, the system may
not know some traffic regulations.

• Update Navigation DVDs are available for
purchase from your local Pioneer dealer
that includes the most current map and
point of interest information. Contact your
local Pioneer dealer for details.

About the route condition

When the calculation of only one route is set, you
can search a route option by combining the fol­lowing conditions.

➲ How to set the calculation conditions ➞

Page 31

For example, when “Fastest” and “Avoid Free-
way” (“On”) are combined, the route, which
avoids freeway, and has the shortest travel time,
will be calculated and displayed on the screen.

Condition 1 :whether to put priority on the
distance, or time

Shortest :

Calculate a route with the shortest distance to
your destination as a priority.

Fastest :

Calculate a route with the shortest travel time to
your destination as a priority.

Condition 2 :whether to use freeway or not

Avoid Freeway :

Calculate a route that avoids freeway. (A route
using the freeway may be set if your destination
is far away.)

• The system assumes the driver deviated either
intentionally or inadvertently from the route
and searches for another route (intelligent
rerouting). Depending on the situation, the
system may search a new route that does not
return to the original one.

• The calculated route is one example of the
route to your destination decided by the Navi­gation System whilst taking the type of streets
or traffic regulations into account. It is not nec­essarily an optimum route. (In some cases, you
may not be able to set the streets you want to
pass. If you want to pass a certain street, set
the way point on that street.)

• The route set by your Navigation System is
based on the assumption that the driver does
not know the area. Thus, the streets known to
local drivers, such as small streets or special
roads, may not be used for the set route.

• Some route options may become the same
route. If visiting points are set, or the route is

Appendix

65

set by voice operation, only one route is calcu­lated.

• Route setting is limited to the range of the disc
in use.

• The destination is too far, there may be
instances where the route cannot be set. (If
you want to set a long-distance route going
across several areas, set way points along the
way.)

• During voice guidance, turns and junctions
from the freeway are announced. However, if
you pass junctions, turns, and other guide
points in rapid succession, some may not be
announced.

• It is possible that guidance may direct you off a
freeway and then back on again.

• In some cases, the set route may require you to
travel in the opposite direction to your current
heading. In such cases, you are instructed to
turn around, so please turn around safely by
following the actual traffic rules.

• In some cases, guidance may direct you past
your destination and then indicate a U-turn to
get back to it.

• In some cases, a route may begin on the oppo­site side of a railway or river from your actual
current location. If this happens, drive towards
your destination for a while, and try route cal­culation again.

• In the following cases, the route that passes

Appendix

through an Area to Avoid may be set:

- when your vehicle is in the Area to Avoid

- when your destination or way points are in

the Area to Avoid

- when it is not possible to avoid doing so

• If a suitable route cannot be set in compliance
with the specified “Detour” distance, or your
preference to avoid freeways, toll roads, ferry
route, the setting or parameter may be
ignored.

• When there is a traffic jam ahead, if driving
through the traffic jam is better than taking the
detour, a detour route may not be set.

• There may be instances when the starting
point and the destination point are not on the
highlighted route.

• The number of roundabout exits displayed on
the screen may differ from the actual number
of roads.

• Auto Reroute function does not work in the fol­lowing cases:

- when your vehicle is not on a street

- when your vehicle is on a ferry

- when driving on a road inside a facility

- when driving on a roundabout

Route highlighting

• Once set, the route is highlighted in bright
green on the map.

• The immediate vicinity of your starting point
and destination may not be highlighted, and
neither will areas with particularly complex
road layouts. Consequently, the route may
appear to be cut off on the display, but voice
guidance will continue.

Intersection enlargement

• When “Close-up of Junction” is on, the map
scale increases to show more detail as you
approach an intersection.

• If the intersection is approached in a gentle
curve, the map displayed may differ from the
actual road layout.

Tracking

• Your Navigation System marks your course on
the map in certain increments. This is called
tracking. It is handy when you want to check a
route traveled without guidance or if returning
along a complex route.

•A maximum of about 145 miles (230 km) is
marked and, as you travel beyond this limit,
tracking marks are erased in order from the
most distant. Tracking display shows about
100 miles tracking of your vehicle with white
dots.

➲ Tracking can also be set for automatic erasing

whenever the Navigation System is switched

Types of the Road Stored in the
Disc

There are three types of roads in the map of this
disc.
Turn by Turn Routable Roads contain full
attribute data and can be used for full Route
Guidance. Pioneer Navigation will display full
route guidance, including turn-by-turn voice
directions and arrow icons.

Routable Roads (The Route displayed and
highlighted in Purple Color) have only basic

data and can only be used to plot a navigable
route. Pioneer Navigation will only display a navi­gable route on the map (only the arrival guidance
for the destination or a way point is available).
Please review and obey all local traffic rules
along the highlighted route. (For your safety.)
No turn-by-turn directions or arrow icons will be
displayed on these roads.
When your vehicle reaches to the entrance of this
road, the icon will be displayed, indicating
that the guidance is not available with this type of
road. The icon will be indicated for the road
with which the guidance is available.
The Close-up of intersection function, Auto
Reroute function, Changing the view to Guide
View, or Route View are not available.

Non Routable Roads (Pink Color Road)

Map display is possible, but it cannot be used for
the route calculation. Please review and obey all
local traffic rules along this route. (For your
safety.)
