Setup and Installation
- Identify Connection Port: Locate the dedicated microphone input port on your Pioneer Carrozzeria AVIC-RZ99 or AVIC-RW99 navigation system. Refer to your navigation system's manual for the exact location.
- Connect Microphone: Insert the microphone's 3.5mm jack into the designated input port on the navigation system. Ensure a firm and secure connection. Poor contact at the terminal can lead to operational issues.
- Mount Microphone:
- Attach the microphone to the included clip.
- Choose a suitable location for the microphone within the vehicle cabin. Ideal locations are typically near the driver's head, such as on the sun visor or dashboard, ensuring clear voice pickup and minimal obstruction.
- Use the provided double-sided tape to secure the microphone clip if mounting on a flat surface. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the tape.
- Route Cable: Carefully route the 4-meter microphone cable to avoid interference with vehicle controls or passenger movement. Use the included cable clamps to secure the cable along its path, preventing it from dangling or getting caught.
- Test Functionality: After installation, turn on your navigation system and test the voice recognition and hands-free calling functions to ensure the microphone is working correctly.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the microphone integrates with your compatible Pioneer Carrozzeria navigation system for voice control and hands-free communication.
- Voice Control: Activate the voice control feature on your navigation system (refer to your navigation system's manual for specific commands). Speak clearly and at a normal volume towards the microphone.
- Hands-Free Calling: When a call is received or initiated through your navigation system's Bluetooth connection, the microphone will automatically be used for your voice input.
- Optimal Performance: For best voice recognition accuracy, ensure there is minimal background noise in the vehicle cabin. Avoid speaking too softly or too loudly.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the microphone body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the microphone cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Damaged cables can affect performance.
