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 authorized 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 car 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. Take extra care in securing the wire at this point. It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS antenna lead or microphone lead to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. 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 car, such as the shift lever, parking brake 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 antenna lead 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 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.
CRD3650A_inst_001_030_Eng 4/15/02 2:17 PM Page 7
Before installing the unit
This unit is for cars with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational car, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage. To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (-) battery cable before beginning installation.

ESPAOL

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. If this unit is installed in a car that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the car battery may be drained when you are away from the car for several hours. To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape.

Installation

Certain state laws may prohibit or restrict the placement and use of this system in your car. Please comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the use, installation, and operation of your navigation system. 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 authorized Pioneer service personnel. Never install the unit in places where: * It could injure the driver or passengers if the car stops suddenly. * It may interfere with the drivers operation of the car, such as on the floor in front of the drivers seat. Make sure there is nothing behind the dashboard or paneling 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 electrical lead. Vibration may damage wires, leading to a short circuit or other damage to the car. 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 come off. It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS antenna lead or microphone lead to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. 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 cars other equipment following installation of the DVD navigation unit. ENGLISH ESPAOL DEUTSCH FRANAIS ITALIANO NEDERLANDS 14
CRD3650A_inst_001_030_Eng 4/15/02 2:17 PM Page 16
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 antenna and antenna lead - FM, AM antenna and its lead - GPS antenna and its lead In addition you should lay each antenna lead as far as possible from other antenna 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 modifications of the car. 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. For the installation and attachment of the Connection box, consult the shop where you bought the product, or your dealer.
Before using the adhesive tape

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 car 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 tire 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 anywhere that cargo or the like will get on it. 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 unloading of the spare tire, 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 cars direction of travel). A surface tilted more than this would increase the errors in location display.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING YOUR NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND RETAIN THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Read this manual fully and carefully before installing 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 circumstances display erroneous information regarding 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 actual driving conditions. 5. As with any accessory in your vehicles interior, the Navigation System should not divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. If you experience difficulty in operating 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 considerably more severe if your seat belt is not properly buckled.
Do not attempt to install or service your Navigation System by yourself. Installation or servicing of the Navigation System by persons without training and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards.

<CRD3957A/U> 4

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 the unit. NEVER SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF. Installing or servicing the unit 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 the unit 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 leads insulation tears as a result of contact with metal parts, short-circuiting can occur, resulting in considerable 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 the unit, 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 interfere with or become caught in any of the vehicles moving parts, especially the steering wheel, shift lever, parking brake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of the vehicles 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 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. 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 the Hide-away unit. Connecting grounds together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if their grounds became detached.

<CRD3957A/U> 5

Page 6
Before installing the unit
This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Check the battery voltage of your vehicle before installation. To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the () battery cable before 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 unit cannot be installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch.

ACC position

No ACC position
When the auto antenna function is used by connecting the blue lead to the vehicle with the auto antenna function, either turning off the ignition switch or detaching the front panel will retract the auto antenna of the vehicle. To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit. Attach the connectors of the same color to the corresponding colored port, i.e., blue connector to the blue port, black to black, etc. The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of highcurrent 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 the Hide-away unit. Connecting grounds together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if their grounds became detached. Refer to the owners manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make connections accordingly. When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder. 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 the display unit. If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the end of the connector.

<CRD3957A/U> 6

Page 7
Never connect speakers with an output rating of less than 50 W channel or impedance outside of the 4 ohms to 8 ohms specifications to your Navigation system. Connecting speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged. When the ignition switch is turned on (ACC ON), a control signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power amps system remote control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). The control signal is output through the blue/white lead, even if the front panel is detached, or the audio source is switched off. When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue lead to the amps power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue lead to the power terminal of the auto antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction as well as damage to the auto antenna of the vehicle.

Installation

Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your Navigation System 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 authorized Pioneer service personnel.
Never install the unit in places, or in a manner that where: * It could injure the driver or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly. * It may interfere with the drivers operation of the vehicle, such as on the floor in front of the drivers seat, or close to the steering wheel or shift lever. Make sure there is nothing behind the dashboard or paneling when drilling holes in them. Be careful not to damage fuel lines, brake lines, electronic components, communication wires or power cables. When using screws, do not allow them to come into contact with any electrical lead. Vibration may damage wires or insulation, 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 antenna lead or microphone lead to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. 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 vehicles other equipment following installation of the Navigation System. Certain government laws may prohibit or restrict the placement and use of this system in your vehicle. Please comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the use, installation and operation of your Navigation System. Do not install the display unit or Hide-away unit where it may (i) obstruct the drivers vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicles operating systems or safety features, including airbags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the drivers ability to safely operate the vehicle. 17

<CRD3957A/U> 18

Page 19
Install the display unit between the drivers seat and front passenger seat so that it will not be hit by the driver or passenger if the vehicle stops quickly. Never install the display unit in front of or next to the place in the dash, door, or pillar from which one of your vehicles airbags would deploy. Please refer to your vehicles Owners Manual for reference to the deployment area of the frontal airbags. Do not install the display unit and Hide-away unit in a place where it will impair the performance of any of the vehicles operating systems, including airbags and headrests.
To guard against electromagnetic interference
In order to prevent interference, set the following items as far as possible from the display unit and Hide-away unit of this Navigation System, other cables or leads: - TV antenna and antenna lead - FM, AM antenna and its lead - GPS antenna and its lead In addition you should lay or route each antenna lead as far as possible from other antenna leads. Do not bind them together, lay or route them together, or cross them. Such electromagnetic noise will increase the potential for errors in the location display.

Before installing

Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle. Before making a final installation of the unit, temporarily connect the wiring to confirm that the connections are correct and the system works properly.

Installing the display unit and Hide-away unit

Installation notes

Do not install the display unit or Hide-away unit in places where it may become subject to high temperatures or humidity, such as: * Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner. * 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. When installing the unit choose a position that is strong enough to bear the weight of the unit. Choose positions where the display unit or Hide-away unit can be firmly installed, and install it securely. Unless the display unit or Hide-away unit are securely attached, the current location of the vehicle cannot be displayed correctly. Do not install the Hide-away unit on the board covering the spare tire or other places which are subject to vibration. When the Hide-away unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the sliding action of the seat. When installing the Hide-away unit, choose a position that ensures there will be no contact with luggage. The impact of a heavy weight or sudden shock on the Hide-away unit will adversely affect the accurate display of the current location of the vehicle. Avoid installing the Hide-away unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unloading of the spare tire, jack, tools, etc. Check that a disc can be ejected with the display unit installed. Install the Hide-away unit horizontally on a surface within +30 degrees to -30 degrees tolerance (within five degrees to the left or right of your vehicles direction of travel). Mis-installing the unit with the surface tilted more than these tolerances would increase the potential for errors in the location display, and might otherwise cause reduced display performance.

If installation angle exceeds 30 from horizontal, the display unit might not give its optimum performance.

Installing the GPS antenna
Do not cut the GPS antenna lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it longer. Altering the antenna cable could result in a short circuit or malfunction and permanent damage to the product.
The antenna should be installed on a level surface where radio waves will be blocked as little as possible. Radio waves cannot be received by the antenna if reception from the satellite is blocked. Installation on the vehicle roof or trunk lid is recommended to optimise reception.
Trunk lid Roof Rear shelf

Espaol Deutsch

When installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet provided 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 antenna. Take care not to pull the antenna lead when removing the GPS antenna. The magnet attached to the antenna is very powerful, and the lead may become detached. The GPS antenna is installed with a magnet. When installing the GPS antenna, be careful not to scratch the vehicle body. When installing the GPS antenna 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 antenna, as this may affect its performance.
