Pioneer AVH-P4000 Car DVD Player Installation

Connecting the units

CAUTION

• PIONEER does not recommend that you install or service your display yourself. Installing or servicing the product may expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your display 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 vehicle 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 display lead to become wound around the steering column or gearshift. Be sure to install the display in such a way that it will not obstruct driving.
• Make sure that wires will not interfere with moving parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, parking brake, or seat sliding mechanism.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work properly.
