WARNING
Rear visibility systems (backup cameras)
are required in certain new vehicles sold in
the U.S. and Canada. U.S. regulations
began according to a two year phase-in on
May 1, 2016, and both the U.S. and Canada
require that all such vehicles manufactured
on or after May 1, 2018 have rear visibility
systems.
Owners of vehicles equipped
with compliant rear visibility systems
should not install or use this product in
a way that alters or disables that
system's compliance with applicable
regulations.
If you are unsure whether
your vehicle has a rear visibility system
subject to the U.S. or Canadian regulations,
please contact the vehicle manufacturer or
dealer.
If your vehicle has a compliant backup
camera that displays the backup view
through the factory receiver, do not use
the Pioneer receiver unless it is connected
to and displays the same view as the
factory backup camera. Connection to the
factory backup camera will require an
adaptor, sold separately. Not all vehicles
may be able to connect. Please check with
a qualified professional installer for
installation options specific to your vehicle.
• Do not operate this product, any
applications, or the rear view camera
option (if purchased) if doing so will
divert your attention in any way from the
safe operation of your vehicle. Always
observe safe driving rules and follow all
existing traffic regulations. If you
experience difficulty in operating this
product, pull over, park your vehicle in a
safe location and apply the parking brake
before making the necessary
adjustments.
• Do not install this product where it may
(i) obstruct the driver’s vision,
(ii) impair the performance of any of the
vehicle’s operating systems of safety
features, including airbags, hazard lamp
buttons, or
(iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely
operate the vehicle.
In some cases, it may not be possible to
install this product because of the vehicle
type or the shape of the vehicle interior.

manual
WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you
install this product yourself. This product is
designed for professional installation only.
We recommend that only authorized
Pioneer service personnel, who have
special training and experience in mobile
electronics, set up and install this product.
NEVER SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
Installing or servicing this product and its
connecting cables may expose you to the
risk of electric shock or other hazards, and
can cause damage to this product that is
not covered by warranty.
WARNING
Do not take any steps to tamper with or
disable the parking brake interlock system
which is in place for your protection.
Tampering with or disabling the parking
brake interlock system could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• 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
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
compartment into the engine
compartment. If the yellow lead’s
insulation tears as a result of contact with
metal parts, short-circuiting can occur,
resulting in considerable danger.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering
column or shift lever. Be sure to install
this product, its cables, and wiring away
in such so that they will not obstruct or
hinder driving.
• Make sure that the cables and wires will
not interfere 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
insulation heats up, wires may become
damaged, resulting in a short circuit or
malfunction and permanent damage to
the product.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the
protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse
resistor 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 this product and
tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded,
causing overheating.
• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding 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 before installation.
WARNING
• When speaker output is used by 4
channels , use speakers over 50 W
