PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING YOUR DVD
NAVIGATION UNIT AND RETAIN THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Read this manual fully and carefully before installing your DVD Navigation Unit.
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 unit is intended solely as an aid to you in the operation of your vehicle. It is
not a substitute for your attentiveness, judgement and care while driving. Do not
operate your DVD Navigation Unit if doing so will divert your attention from the
safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all

Connecting the System
CAUTION
• Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your DVD navigation
unit yourself. Installing or servicing of the product may expose you to risk of
electric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your
navigation unit to authorised 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 compartment to connect the yellow lead of
the unit to the vehicle 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. Take extra care in securing the wire
at this point.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS aerial cable or microphone cable
to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. 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 gearstick, handbrake or seat sliding mechanism.
• 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.
• 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 malfunc-
tion.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work
properly.
• Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the DVD navigation unit and tapping into the lead. The
current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

lead of the unit should be connected to
a terminal coupled with ignition switch
ON/OFF operations. If this is not done,
the vehicle battery may be drained
when you are away from the vehicle
for several hours.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the
disconnected lead with insulating tape.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical sys-
tem, be sure to disconnect the (-) bat-
tery cable before beginning installa-
tion.

Yellow/black
When combining this navigation unit with a Pioneer car stereo,
if the car stereo has yellow/black leads, connect them to those
leads. In this way, when the guidance audio is output and
when you operate the system by voice, the vehicle stereo is
automatically muted to reduce the vehicle stereo volume.
Purple/white (REVERSEGEAR SIGNAL INPUT)
This is connected so that the navigation system can
detect whether the vehicle is moving forwards or
backwards. Connect the purple/white lead to the
lead whose voltage changes when the reverse gear
is engaged. Unless connected, the sensor may not
detect your vehicle travelling forward/backward
properly, and thus the position of your vehicle
detected by the sensor may be misaligned from the
actual position.

CAUTION
•Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your DVD navigation
unit 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 authorised Pioneer service personnel.
•Never install the unit in places 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.
•Make sure there is nothing behind the dashboard or panelling when drilling
holes in them. Be careful not to damage fuel lines, brake lines or power
cables.
•When using screws, do not allow them to come into contact with any electri-
cal lead. Vibration may damage wires, 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 aerial lead or microphone lead to
become wound around the steering column or gearstick. 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 DVD navigation unit.
CRD3803A_inst_001_029_UK 4/1/03 2:22 PM Page 13

To guard against electromagnetic interference
•In order to prevent interference, set the following items as far as possible from the main
unit of this Navigation System, other cables or leads:
- TV aerial and aerial lead
- FM, MW/LW aerial and its lead
- GPS aerial and its lead
In addition you should lay each aerial lead as far as possible from other aerial leads.
Do not bind them together, lay them together, or cross them.
Such electromagnetic noise would increase the error for the location display.
Before installing and fixing
•Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other mod-
ifications of the vehicle.
•Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all
connected up properly, and the unit and the system work properly.

Installing the main unit
Installation notes
•Do not install the main unit in places where it may become subject to high temperatures
or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater outlet.
* 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.
•The installation strength will depend on the vehicle model and the installation position.
Choose a position where the main unit can be firmly installed, and install it securely.
If the main unit is not securely fastened, the errors in location display will be greater.
•Do not install the main unit on the board covering the spare tyre or other places which
are subject to vibration.
•When the main unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the
sliding action of the seat.
•Do not install the main unit where it will be under luggage. Strong mechanical shock to
the main unit would increase the errors in location display.
•Avoid installing the main unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unload-
ing of the spare tyre, jack, tools, etc.
•Check that a disc or a PC card can be ejected with the main unit installed.
•Install the main unit on a surface within +30 degrees to -15 degrees tolerance (within
five degrees to the left or right of your vehicle’s direction of travel). A surface tilted
more than this would increase the errors in location display.
•Do not install the main unit vertically. Installing it this way can cause it to function
improperly.

Installing the GPS aerial
CAUTION
•Do not cut the GPS aerial lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the aerial cable could result in a short circuit.
Installation notes
•When installing the GPS aerial inside the vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet provid-
ed 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 aeri-
al.
•Take care not to pull the aerial lead when removing the GPS aerial. The magnet attached
to the aerial is very powerful, and the lead may become detached.
•The GPS aerial is installed with a magnet. When installing the GPS aerial, be careful
not to scratch the vehicle body.
•When installing the GPS aerial on the outside of the vehicle, always put it in the vehicle
when going through an automatic vehicle wash. If it is left on the outside it may be
knocked off and scratch the vehicle body.
•Do not paint the GPS aerial, as this may affect its performance.
Dashboard
Roof Rear shelf
Boot lid
•The aerial should be installed on a
level surface where radio waves will
be blocked as little as possible. Radio
waves cannot be received by the aerial
if reception from the satellite is
blocked.
Installation on the vehicle roof or boot
lid is recommended to enable best
reception.
