This product
Power cord
Purple/white (REVERSEGEAR SIGNAL INPUT)
This is connected so that the navigation system can
detect whether the vehicle is moving forwards or
backwards. Connect the purple/white lead to the lead
whose voltage changes when the reverse gear is
engaged. If this is not connected, the sensor inside
this unit will determine whether your vehicle is
travelling forwards or backwards.
Note: When you use the ND-PG 1 speed pulse
generator (sold separately), please make sure
to connect it.
Note:
Cords for this product and those for other products
may be different colors even if they have the same
function. When connecting this product to another
product, refer to the supplied Installation manuals
of both products and connect cords that have the
same function.
Black, Orange/white, Red, Yellow
See Page 9.
Yellow/black
When combining this navigation unit with a Pioneer car stereo,
if the car stereo has yellow/black leads, connect them to those
leads. This way when the guidance audio is output and
when you operate the system by voice, the vehicle stereo is
automatically muted to reduce the vehicle stereo volume.
Check the position of your vehicle's reversing
lamp (the one that lights up when the gearstick
is in reverse [R]) and find the reversing lamp
lead in the trunk.
Connection method
