IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
3
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 care-
fully.
4. This Navigation System may in certain circumstances display erroneous informa-
tion 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 experi-
ence difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, please make adjust-
ments 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 train-
ing and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install the unit. NEVER SER-
VICE THE UNIT YOURSELF. Installing or servicing the unit 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 the unit to the vehicle battery. If the lead
is directly connected to the 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. If the yellow lead’s insulation tears as a result of con-
tact 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 the unit,
its cables, and wiring away in such a way that they will not obstruct or hinder dri-
ving.
• 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, 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 insula-
tion heats up, wires may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit or malfunc-
tion and permanent damage to the product.
• 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.
• 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 the Hide-away unit. Connecting grounds together can cause a fire
and/or damage the products if their grounds became detached.
CRD3957C_inst_001_031_US 11/12/04 13:58 Page 5

Connecting the System
Before installing the unit
• This unit 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 unit 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 especial-
ly 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 con-
nector to the blue port, black to black, etc.
• 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
the Hide-away unit. Connecting grounds together can cause a fire and/or damage the
products if their grounds became detached.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse
holder.
• 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 the display unit.
• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the
end of the connector.
•When the auto antenna function is used by connecting the blue lead to the vehi-
cle with the auto antenna function, either turning off the ignition switch or
detaching the front panel will retract the auto antenna of the vehicle.

• 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 front panel is detached, or 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.

Installation
•Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your Navigation
System yourself. Installing or servicing 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.
•Never install the unit in places, or in a manner that where:
* It could injure the driver or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
* It may interfere with the driver’s operation of the vehicle, such as on the
floor in front of the driver’s seat, or close to the steering wheel or shift
lever.
•Make sure there is nothing behind the dashboard or paneling when drilling
holes in them. Be careful not to damage fuel lines, brake lines, electronic
components, communication wires or power cables.
•When using screws, do not allow them to come into contact with any electri-
cal lead. Vibration may damage wires or insulation, leading to a short circuit
or other damage to the vehicle.
•To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified.
If any parts other than the supplied ones are used, they may damage internal
parts of the unit or they may work loose and the unit may become detached.
•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 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 follow-
ing installation of the Navigation System.
•Certain government laws may prohibit or restrict the placement and use of
this system in your vehicle. Please comply with all applicable laws and regu-
lations regarding the use, installation and operation of your Navigation
System.
•Do not install the display unit or Hide-away unit where it may (i) obstruct
the driver’s vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicle’s operat-
ing systems or safety features, including airbags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii)
impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.
ENG/MASTER 96
<CRD3957A/U> 18
CRD3957C_inst_001_031_US 11/12/04 13:58 Page 18

•Install the display unit between the driver’s seat and front passenger seat so
that it will not be hit by the driver or passenger if the vehicle stops quickly.
•Never install the display unit in front of or next to the place in the dash,
door, or pillar from which one of your vehicle’s airbags would deploy. Please
refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for reference to the deployment area
of the frontal airbags.
•Do not install the display unit and Hide-away unit in a place where it will
impair the performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems, including
airbags and headrests.
To guard against electromagnetic interference
•In order to prevent interference, set the following items as far as possible from the dis-
play unit and Hide-away 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 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 display.
Before installing
•Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other mod-
ifications of the vehicle.

•Do not install the display unit or Hide-away unit in places where it may become subject
to high temperatures or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.
* 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.
•When installing the unit choose a position that is strong enough to bear the weight of the
unit. Choose positions where the display unit or Hide-away unit can be firmly installed,
and install it securely.
Unless the display unit or Hide-away unit are securely attached, the current location of
the vehicle cannot be displayed correctly.
•Do not install the Hide-away unit on the board covering the spare tire or other places
which are subject to vibration.
•When the Hide-away unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct
the sliding action of the seat.
•When installing the Hide-away unit, choose a position that ensures there will be no con-
tact with luggage. The impact of a heavy weight or sudden shock on the Hide-away unit
will adversely affect the accurate display of the current location of the vehicle.
•Avoid installing the Hide-away unit in places where it will interfere with loading and
unloading of the spare tire, jack, tools, etc.
•Check that a disc can be ejected with the display unit installed.
•Install the Hide-away unit horizontally on a surface within +30 degrees to -30 degrees
tolerance (within five degrees 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 otherwise cause reduced dis-
play performance.
•If installation angle exceeds 30ºfrom horizontal, the display unit might not give its opti-
mum performance.
