Important Safety Information
[Warning] Rear Visibility Systems
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 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 adapter, sold separately. Not all vehicles may be able to connect. Please check with a qualified professional installer for installation options specific to your vehicle.

Important Safeguards
[Warning] Professional Installation Recommended
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.
Precautions Before Connecting the System
[Warning] Parking Brake Interlock System
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] Wiring Precautions
- 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 a manner 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.
Before Installing This Product
- 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.
To Prevent Damage
[Warning] When speaker output is used by 4 channels, use speakers over 50 W.
