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 training
and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install this navigation system.
NEVER SERVICE THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM YOURSELF. Installing or ser-
vicing this navigation system 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 this navigation system to the vehicle bat-
tery. If the lead is directly connected to the battery, engine vibration may eventual-
ly 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 consider-
able 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 this
navigation system, 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
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 navigation system.
• 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.
• 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 this navigation system.
Connecting grounds together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if their
grounds became detached.
