WARNING:
• To avoid the risk of accident and the
potential violation of applicable laws,
certain functions of this unit should
never be used while the vehicle is being
driven. Also, rear displays should not be
in a location where it is a visible distrac-
tion 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.
CAUTION:
• PIONEER does not recommend that
you install or service your Vehicle
Dynamics Processor yourself. Installing
or servicing the product may expose you
to risk of electric shock or other haz-
ards. Refer all installation and servicing
of your Vehicle Dynamics Processor 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 com-
partment to connect the yellow lead of
the unit to the vehicle battery. Engine
vibration may eventually cause the insu-
lation 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 cable 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 vehicle, such as
the shift lever, parking brake or seat
sliding mechanism.

Note:
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-
ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery
voltage.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to
disconnect the ≠battery cable before beginning
installation.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on
connecting the power amp and other units, then
make connections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake
and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that
get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insu-
lation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a
danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle
body.
• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the
engine compartment to connect to the battery.
This will damage the lead insulation and cause a
very dangerous short.
• 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 may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a
fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.
• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition
switch, the red lead of the unit should be connect-
ed to a terminal coupled with ignition switch
ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehi-
cle battery may be drained when you are away
from the vehicle for several hours.

Installation
Note:
• Before making a final installation of the unit,
temporarily connect the wiring to confirm that the
connections are correct and the system works
properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to
ensure proper installation. The use of unautho-
rized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifica-
tions of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the dri-
ver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if there
is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• When mounting this unit, make sure none of the
leads are trapped between this unit and the sur-
rounding metalwork or fittings.
• Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet,
where it would be affected by heat, or near the
doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.
• Before drilling any mounting holes always check
behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not
drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring
or other important parts.
• If this unit is installed in the passenger compart-
ment, anchor it securely so it does not break free
while the car is moving, and cause injury or an
accident.
• If this unit is installed under a front seat, make
sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all
leads and cords carefully around the sliding
mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched
in the mechanism and cause a short circuit.
• Do not install this unit on the board covering the
spare tire or other places which are subject to
vibration.
• When installing this unit, choose a position that
ensures there will be no contact with luggage.
The impact of a heavy weight or sudden shock on
this unit will adversely affect the accurate display
of the current location of the vehicle.
• Avoid installing this unit in places where it will
interfere with loading and unloading of the spare
tire, jack, tools, etc.
• Install this unit horizontally on a surface within
+30º to –30º tolerance (within 5º to the left or
right of your vehicle’s direction of travel). Mis-
installing the unit with the surface tilted more
than these tolerances would increase the potential
for errors in the location display, and might other-
wise cause reduced display performance.
To guard against electromagnetic
interference
In order to prevent interference, set the
following items as far as possible from
this unit, other cables or leads:
- TV antenna and its lead
- Radio antenna and its lead
- GPS antenna and its lead
In addition you should lay or route each
antenna lead as far as possible from other
antenna leads.
Do not bind them together, lay or route
them together, or cross them.
Such electromagnetic noise will increase
the potential for errors in the location dis-
play.

Installing the GPS antenna
CAUTION:
• 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 and
permanent damage to the prod-
uct.
Installation notes
•The antenna should be installed on a level
surface where radio waves will be blocked
as little as possible. Radio waves cannot be
received by the antenna if reception from
the satellite is blocked.
Installation on the vehicle roof or trunk lid is
recommended to optimise reception.
•When installing the GPS antenna inside the
vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet
provided with your system. If this is not
used, the reception sensitivity will be poor.
•Do not cut the accessory metal sheet. This
would reduce the sensitivity of the GPS
antenna.
•Take care not to pull the antenna lead when
removing the GPS antenna. The magnet
attached to the antenna is very powerful, and
the lead may become detached.
•The GPS antenna is installed with a magnet.
When installing the GPS antenna, be careful
not to scratch the vehicle body.
•When installing the GPS antenna on the out-
side of the vehicle, always put it in the vehi-
cle when going through an automatic vehi-
cle wash. If it is left on the outside it may be
knocked off and scratch the vehicle body.
•Do not paint the GPS antenna, as this may
affect its performance.
