PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING YOUR
NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND RETAIN THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

1. Read this manual fully and carefully before installing your navigation system.

2. Keep this manual handy for future reference.

3. Pay close attention to all warnings in this manual and follow the instructions care­fully.

4. This navigation system may in certain circumstances display erroneous informa­tion regarding the position of your vehicle, the distance of objects shown on the
screen, and compass directions. In addition, the system has certain limitations,
including the inability to identify one-way streets, temporary traffic restrictions
and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please exercise your own judgment in the
light of actual driving conditions.

5. As with any accessory in your vehicle’s interior, the navigation system should not
divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. If you experience
difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, please make adjustments
while safely parked.

6. Please remember to wear your seat belt at all times while operating your vehicle.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if
your seat belt is not properly buckled.

Do not attempt to install or service your navigation system by yourself. Installation or
servicing of the navigation system by persons without training and experience in elec­tronic equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you
to the risk of electric shock or other hazards.

Connecting the System

Pioneer does not recommend that you install your navigation system yourself. We
recommend that only authorized Pioneer service personnel, who have special training
and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install this navigation system.
NEVER SERVICE THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM YOURSELF. Installing or ser­vicing this navigation system and its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of
electric shock or other hazards, and can cause damage to the navigation system that
is not covered by warranty.

• If you decide to perform the installation yourself, and have special training and
experience in the mobile electronics installations, please carefully follow all of the
steps in the Installation Manual.

• 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 navigation system to the vehicle bat­tery. If the lead is directly connected to the 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. 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 the GPS antenna cable or microphone cable to
become wound around the steering column or shift lever. Be sure to install this
navigation system, its cables, and wiring away in such a way that they will not
obstruct or hinder driving.

• Make sure that the cables and wires are routed and secured so they will not inter­fere with or become caught in any of the vehicle’s moving parts, especially the
steering wheel, shift lever, parking brake, 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 navigation system.

• Do not cut the GPS antenna cable 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 (fuse holder, fuse resister
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 the navigation system and tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of
high-current products such as power amps. Do not ground more than one product
together with the ground from another product. For example, you must separately
ground any amplifier unit away from the ground of this navigation system.
Connecting grounds together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if their
grounds became detached.

Connecting the System

Before installing this navigation system

• This navigation system is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding.
Check the battery voltage of your vehicle before 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.

• This navigation system cannot be installed in a vehicle that does not have an 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 uncovered may cause a
short circuit.

• Attach the connectors of the same color to the corresponding colored port, i.e., blue con­nector to the blue port, black to black, etc.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, do not directly ground the ≠ side of the
speaker lead or connect the ≠ sides of the speaker leads together. Be sure to connect the
≠ side of the speaker lead to the ≠ side of the speaker lead on this navigation system.

• If the RCA pin jack on this navigation system will not be used, do not remove the caps
attached to the end of the connector.

• When the “Auto ANT” mode is set to “Radio”, the vehicle’s antenna can be stowed by

following the instructions below.

– Change the source from radio (AM or FM) to another source
– Turn the source off
– Turn off the ignition switch (ACC OFF)

• If the “Auto ANT” mode is set to “Power”, the vehicle’s antenna can be stowed only

when the ignition switch is turned off (ACC OFF).

No ACC positionACC position

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

• Never connect speakers with an output rating of less than 50 W channel or impedance
outside of the 4 ohms to 8 ohms specifications to your navigation system. Connecting
speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in
the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

• 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
(max. 300 mA 12 V DC). The control signal is output through the blue/white lead, even
if the audio source is switched off.

• When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the
blue lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue lead to the
power terminal of the auto antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain
and malfunction as well as damage to the auto antenna of the vehicle.
