ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual explains how to install this navi-
gation system in your vehicle. Operation of
this navigation system is explained in the se-
parate operation manual or hardware manual
for the navigation system. Before operating
this navigation system, be sure to read
them.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING
YOUR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
AND RETAIN THEM FOR
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 judgment in the light of ac-
tual driving conditions.
5 As with any accessory in your vehicle’s inter-
ior, the navigation system should not divert
your attention from the safe operation of your
vehicle. If you experience difficulty in operat-
ing 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 con-
siderably more severe if your seat belt is not
properly buckled.
7 Certain government laws may restrict the pla-
cement and use of navigation systems in your
vehicle. Please comply with all applicable
laws and regulations in the installation and
operation of your navigation system.
WARNING
Do not attempt to install or service your naviga-
tion system by yourself. Installation or servicing
of the navigation system by persons without train-
ing and experience in electronic equipment and
automotive accessories may be dangerous and
could expose you to the risk of electric shock or
other hazards.

Precautions before
connecting the system
WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you install
your navigation system yourself. We recom-
mend that only authorized 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
the navigation system that is not covered by
warranty.
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 shift lever. 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, shift lever, parking brake,
sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of the ve-
hicle’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 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 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.
!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 pro-
duct together with the ground from an-
other product. For example, you must
separately ground any amp unit away
from the ground of this navigation sys-
tem. Connecting grounds together can
cause a fire and/or damage the products if
their grounds became detached.

lation.
!To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be
sure to disconnect the (–) battery cable be-
fore beginning 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 product cannot be installed in a vehi-
cle without ACC (accessory) position on
the ignition switch.

!When replacing the fuse, be sure to only
use a fuse of the rating prescribed on the
fuse holder.
!To avoid a short-circuit, cover the discon-
nected lead with insulating tape. Insulate
the unused speaker leads without fail.
There is a possibility of a short-circuit if the
leads are not insulated.
!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 product will not
be used, do not remove the caps attached
to the end of the connector.
!Speakers connected to this navigation unit
must be high-power with minimum rating
of 50 W and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms.
Connecting speakers with output and/or
impedance values other than those noted
here may result in the speakers catching
fire, emitting smoke, or becoming da-
maged.
Notice for the blue lead
!A signal is output through the blue lead to
control the antenna of your vehicle. The
timing varies depending on the setting. (For
more detailed information on changing
[Auto ANT] mode, refer to the operation
manual.)
!When [Auto ANT] mode is set to [Radio],

!Do not connect this lead to the system con-
trol terminal of external power amps.
!Be sure not to use this lead as the power
supply lead for the auto-antenna or anten-
na booster. Such connection could cause
excessive current drain and malfunction.
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 (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). The control sig-
nal is output through the blue/white lead,
even if the audio source is switched off.
!Do not connect this lead to the auto-anten-
na relay control terminal or the antenna
booster power control terminal.
!Be sure not to use this lead as the power
supply lead for the external power amps.
