mend that only authorised Pioneer service
personnel, who have special training and ex-
perience in mobile electronics, set up and in-
stall this product. NEVER SERVICE THIS
PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing or servi-
cing this product and its connecting cables
may expose you to the risk of electric shock
or other hazards, and can cause damage to

FUTURE REFERENCE
1 Read this manual fully and carefully before in-
stalling 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 circum-
stances display erroneous information regard-
ing 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 judgement in the light of
actual driving conditions.
5 As with any accessory in your vehicle’s inter-
ior, the navigation system should not divert

02 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Precautions before
connecting the system
CAUTION
!If you decide to perform the installation
yourself, and have special training and ex-
perience in the mobile electronics instal-
lations, 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 wir-
ing to remain exposed.
!Do not directly connect the yellow lead of
this product 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 com-
partment into the engine compartment. If
the yellow lead’s insulation tears as a re-
sult of contact with metal parts, short-cir-
cuiting can occur, resulting in
considerable danger.
!It is extremely dangerous to allow the
cables to become wound around the steer-
ing column or gearstick. Be sure to install
this product, 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 inter-
fere with or become caught in any of the
vehicle’s moving parts, especially the
steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, slid-
ing seat tracks, doors, or any of the vehi-
cle’s controls.
!Do not route wires where they will be ex-
posed to high temperatures. If the insula-
tion heats up, wires may become
damaged, resulting in a short circuit or
malfunction and permanent damage to
the product.
!Do not cut the GPS aerial cable to shorten
it or use an extension to make it longer.
Altering the aerial cable could result in a
short circuit or malfunction.
!Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the
protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resis-
tor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
!Never feed power to other electronic pro-
ducts by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the navigation sys-
tem and tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded,
causing overheating.
Before installing this product
!Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and ne-
gative earthing only. Failure to do so may
result in a fire or malfunction.
!To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be
sure to disconnect the (–) battery cable be-
fore beginning installation.

To prevent damage
WARNING
!Use speakers over 50 W (output value)
and between 4 Wto 8 W(impedance value).
Do not use 1 Wto 3 Wspeakers for this
unit.
!The black lead is earth. Please earth this
lead separately from the earth of high-cur-
rent products such as power amps. Do not
earth more than one product together
with the earth from another product. For
example, you must separately earth any
amp unit away from the earth of this navi-
gation system. Connecting earths to-
gether can cause a fire and/or damage the
products if their earths became detached.
!When replacing the fuse, be sure to only
use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this
product.
!When disconnecting a connector, pull the
connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as
you may pull it out of the connector.
!This product cannot be installed in a vehi-
cle without ACC (accessory) position on
the ignition switch.

!To avoid short-circuiting, cover the discon-
nected lead with insulating tape. It is espe-
cially important to insulate all unused
speaker leads, which if left uncovered may
cause a short circuit.
!Attach the connectors of the same colour
to the corresponding coloured 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 earth 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 product will not
be used, do not remove the caps attached
to the end of the connector.
Notice for the blue/white lead
!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 term-
inal, the auto-aerial relay control terminal,
or the aerial booster power 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.
!Be sure not to use this lead as the power
supply lead for the external power amps.
Such connection could cause excessive
current drain and malfunction.
!Be sure not to use this lead as the power
supply lead for the auto-aerial or aerial
booster. Such connection could cause ex-
cessive current drain and malfunction.

Precautions before
installation
CAUTION
!Never install this product in places where,
or in a manner that:
—It could injure the driver or passengers
if the vehicle stops suddenly.
—It may interfere with the driver’s opera-
tion of the vehicle, such as on the floor
in front of the driver’s seat, or close to
the steering wheel or gearstick.
!Make sure there is nothing behind the
dashboard or panelling when drilling
holes in them. Be careful not to damage
fuel lines, brake lines, electronic compo-
nents, communication wires or power
cables.
!When using screws, do not allow them to
come into contact with any electrical lead.
Vibration may damage wires or insulation,
leading to a short circuit or other damage
to the vehicle.
!To ensure proper installation, use the sup-
plied parts in the manner specified. If any
parts other than the supplied ones are
used, they may damage internal parts of
this product or they may work loose and
the product may become detached.
!It is extremely dangerous to allow the
cables to become wound around the steer-
ing column or gearstick. Be sure to install
this product, its cables, and wiring away
in such a way that they will not obstruct
or hinder driving.
!Make sure that leads cannot get caught in
a door or the sliding mechanism of a seat,
resulting in a short circuit.
!Please confirm the proper function of
your vehicle’s other equipment following
installation of the navigation system.
!Do not install this navigation system
where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s vi-
sion, (ii) impair the performance of any of
the vehicle’s operating systems or safety
features, including airbags, hazard lamp
buttons or (iii) impair the driver’s ability
to safely operate the vehicle.
!Install the navigation system between the
driver’s seat and front passenger seat so
that it will not be hit by the driver or pas-
senger if the vehicle stops quickly.
!Never install the navigation system in
front of or next to the place in the dash,
door, or pillar from which one of your vehi-
cle’s airbags would deploy. Please refer to
your vehicle’s owner’s manual for refer-
ence to the deployment area of the frontal
airbags.
To guard against
electromagnetic interference
In order to prevent interference, set the follow-
ing items as far as possible from this naviga-
tion system, other cables or leads:
!FM, MW/LW aerial and its lead
!GPS aerial and its lead
In addition you should lay or route each aerial
lead as far as possible from other aerial 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 display.
Before installing
!Consult with your nearest dealer if installa-
tion requires the drilling of holes or other
modifications of the vehicle.
!Before making a final installation of this
product, temporarily connect the wiring to
confirm that the connections are correct
and the system works properly.
