 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.

Your new product and this 
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
