ging music information (1) when the iPod is
connected or when the system boots up while
the iPod is connected and (2) when iPod is the
selected and displayed AV Source, unless [VR
Catalog Mode] is turned off.

date the iPod data, activate [VR Catalog
Mode] again to transfer the music informa-
tion and synchronize the music information
for voice commands with the data on iPod.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems operating your navigation system, refer to this section. The most common
problems are listed below, along with likely causes and solutions. While this list is not comprehen-
sive, it should answer your most common problems. If a solution to your problem cannot be
found here, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer service facility.
Problems with the navigation screen
Symptom Cause Action (See)
The power doesn’t turn on. The
navigation system doesn’t oper-
ate.
Leads and connectors are incor-
rectly connected.
Confirm once more that all connections are
correct.
The fuse (in the vehicle power char-
ger) is blown.
Rectify the reason for the fuse blowing, then
replace the fuse. Be very sure to install a cor-
rect fuse with the same rate.
Noise and other factors are causing
the built-in microprocessor to oper-
ate incorrectly.
Press RESET button. (Page 9)
You cannot position your vehicle
on the map without a significant
positioning error.
Signal quality from the GPS satel-
lites is poor causing reduced posi-
tioning accuracy. Such a loss of
signal quality may occur for the fol-
lowing reasons:
• This product is in an unsuitable lo-
cation.
• Obstacles are blocking signals
from the satellites.
• The position of satellites relative to
your vehicle is inadequate.
• Signals from the GPS satellites
have been modified to reduce accu-
racy. (GPS satellites are operated by
the US Department of Defense, and
the US government reserves the
right to distort positioning data for
military reasons. This may lead to
greater positioning errors.)
• If a cellular phone is used near
the GPS module, GPS reception
may be lost temporarily.
Check the GPS signal reception, the position
of this product and the topside clearance if
necessary, or continue driving until reception
improves.
Something covers this product’s
topside.
Do not cover this product with spray paint or
vehicle wax, because this may block the re-
ception of GPS signals.
You cannot position your vehicle
on the map without a significant
positioning error.
The navigation system may not be
mounted securely in your vehicle.
Check that the navigation system is securely
mounted and, if necessary, consult the dealer
that installed the system.
Indication of the position of your ve-
hicle is misaligned after a U-turn or
reversing.
Check whether or not the reverse gear signal
input lead (violet) is connected properly. (The
navigation system works properly without the
lead connected, but positioning accuracy will
be adversely affected.)

Positioning technology
Positioning by GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a
network of satellites orbiting the Earth. Each
of the satellites, which orbit at a height of
21 000 km, continually broadcasts radio sig-
nals giving time and position information. This
ensures that signals from at least three can be
picked up from any open area on the earth’s
surface.
The accuracy of the GPS information depends
on how good the reception is. When the sig-
nals are strong and reception is good, GPS
can determine latitude, longitude and altitude
for accurate positioning in three dimensions.
But if signal quality is poor, only two dimen-
sions, latitude and longitude, can be obtained
and positioning errors are somewhat greater.
Map matching
As mentioned, the positioning systems used
by this navigation system are susceptible to
certain errors. Their calculations may, on occa-
sion, place you in a location on the map where
no road exists. In this situation, the processing
system understands that vehicles travel only
on roads, and can correct your position by ad-
justing it to a nearby road. This is called map
matching.
With map matching
Without map matching
Handling large errors
Positioning errors are kept to a minimum by
combining GPS and map matching. However,
in some situations, these functions may not
work properly, and the error may become big-
ger.
Appendix

Appendix
Appendix
When positioning by GPS is
impossible
! If signals cannot be received from more
than two GPS satellites, GPS positioning
does not take place.
! In some driving conditions, signals from
GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle.
In this case, it is impossible for the system
to use GPS positioning.
In tunnels or en-
closed parking
garages
Under elevated
roads or similar
structures
When driving
among high build-
ings
When driving through
a dense forest or tall
trees
! If a car phone or cellular phone is used
near this product, GPS reception may be
lost temporarily.
! Do not cover this product with spray paint
or vehicle wax, because this may block the
reception of GPS signals.
p If a GPS signal have not been received for a
long time, your vehicle’s actual position
and the current position mark on the map
may diverge considerably or may not be up-
dated. In such case, once GPS reception is
restored, accuracy will be recovered.
Conditions likely to cause
noticeable positioning errors
For various reasons, such as the state of the
road you are traveling on and the reception
status of the GPS signal, the actual position of
your vehicle may differ from the position dis-
played on the map screen.
! If you make a shallow turn.
! If there is a parallel road.
! If there is another road very nearby, such
as in the case of an elevated freeway.
! If you take a recently opened road that is
not on the map.
! If you drive in zigzags.

! If the road has connected hairpin bends.
! If there is a loop or similar road configura-

! If you take a ferry.
! If you are driving on a long, straight road or

! If you are on a steep mountain road with
many height changes.
! If you enter or exit a multi-storey parking lot
or similar structure using a spiral ramp.
! If your vehicle is turned on a turntable or si-
milar structure.
! If your vehicle’s wheels spin, such as on a
gravel road or in snow.
! If you put on chains, or change your tires
for ones with a different size.

When a route is calculated, the route and voice
guidance for the route are automatically set.
Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only infor-
mation about traffic regulations at the time when
the route was calculated is shown. One-way
streets and street closures may not be taken into
consideration. For example, if a street is open dur-
ing the morning only, but you arrive later, it would
be against the traffic regulations so you cannot
drive along the set route. When driving, please
follow the actual traffic signs. Also, the system
may not know some traffic regulations.
! The calculated route is one example of the
route to your destination decided by the na-
vigation system while taking the type of
streets or traffic regulations into account. It
is not necessarily an optimum route. (In
some cases, you may not be able to set the
streets you want to pass. If you need to
pass a certain street, set the waypoint on
that street.)
! If the destination is too far, there may be in-
stances where the route cannot be set. (If
you want to set a long-distance route going
across several areas, set waypoints along
the way.)
! During voice guidance, turns and intersec-
tions from the freeway are announced.
However, if you pass intersections, turns,
and other guide points in rapid succession,
some may delay or not be announced.
! It is possible that guidance may direct you
off a freeway and then back on again.
! In some cases, the route may require you
to travel in the opposite direction to your
current heading. In such cases, you are in-
structed to turn around, so please turn
around safely by following the actual traffic
rules.
! In some cases, a route may begin on the
opposite side of a railway or river from your
actual current location. If this happens,
drive towards your destination for a while,
and try route calculation again.
! When there is a traffic congestion ahead, if
driving through the traffic congestion is
better than taking the detour, a detour
route may not be suggested.
! There may be instances when the starting
point, the waypoint and the destination
point are not on the highlighted route.

Route highlighting
! Once set, the route is highlighted in bright
color on the map.
! The immediate vicinity of your starting
point and destination may not be high-
lighted, and neither will areas with particu-
larly complex road layouts. Consequently,
the route may appear to be cut off on the
display, but voice guidance will continue.

Detailed information
regarding connectable iPods
CAUTION
! Pioneer accepts no responsibility for data lost
on the iPod even if that data is lost while
using the navigation system.
! Do not leave the iPod in direct sunlight for ex-
tended amounts of time. Extended exposure
to direct sunlight can result in iPod malfunc-
tion due to the resulting high temperature.
! Do not leave the iPod in any location with
high temperatures.
Appendix
En
120
Appendix
! Firmly secure the iPod when driving. Do not
let the iPod fall onto the floor, where it may be-
come jammed under the brake or gas pedal.
For details, refer to the iPod’s manuals.
Using the LCD screen correctly
Handling the LCD screen
! When the LCD screen is subjected to direct
sunlight for a long period of time, it will be-
come very hot, resulting in possible da-
mage to the LCD screen. When not using
this navigation system, avoid exposing it to
direct sunlight as much as possible.
! The LCD screen should be used within the
temperature ranges shown in “Specifica-
tions”.
! Do not use the LCD screen at temperatures
higher or lower than the operating tem-
perature range because the LCD screen
may not operate normally and the LCD
screen can be damaged.
! The LCD screen is exposed in order to in-
crease its visibility within the vehicle.
Please do not press strongly on it as this
may damage it.
! Do not push the LCD screen with excessive
force as this may scratch it.
! To protect the LCD screen from damage, be
sure to touch the touch panel keys only
with your fingers. (Keep the use of other in-
struments at a minimum, and only in cases
in which the touch panel calibration is ne-
cessary.)
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
! If the LCD screen is near the vent of an air
conditioner, make sure that air from the air
conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from
the heater may break the LCD screen, and
cool air from the cooler may cause moist-
ure to form inside the navigation unit, re-
sulting in possible damage.
! Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are
due to the characteristics of the LCD
screen and do not indicate a problem with
the LCD screen.
! The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
! When using a cellular phone, keep the an-
tenna of the cellular phone away from the
LCD screen to prevent disruption of the
video in the form of disturbances such as
spots or colored stripes.
Maintaining the LCD screen
! When removing dust from the LCD screen
or cleaning it, first turn the system power
off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
! When wiping the LCD screen, take care not
to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
LED (light-emitting diode)
backlight
A light emitting diode is used inside the dis-
play to illuminate the LCD screen.
! At low temperatures, using the LED back-
light may increase image lag and degrade
the image quality because of the character-
istics of the LCD screen. Image quality will
improve with an increase in temperature.
! The product lifetime of the LED backlight is
more than 10 000 hours. However, it may
decrease if used in high temperatures.
! If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dark and the image will no longer be pro-
jected. In this case, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER
Ser vice Station.

Glossary
AAC
AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard used with MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Aspect ratio
This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen.
A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of
16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional
presence and atmosphere.
Bit rate
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,
the more information is available to reproduce
the sound. Using the same encoding method
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better
the sound.
Current location
The present location of your vehicle; your cur-
rent location is shown on the map by a red tri-
angle mark.
Destination
A location you choose as the end point of your
journey.
Favorites
A frequently visited location (such as your
workplace or a relative’s home) that you can
register to allow easy routing.
GPS
Global Positioning System. A network of satel-
lites that provides navigation signals for a vari-
ety of purposes.
Guidance mode
The mode in which guidance is given as you
drive to your destination; the system automati-
cally switches to this mode as soon as a route
has been set.
Guidance point
These are important landmarks along your
route, generally intersections. The next gui-
dance point along your route is indicated on
the map by the yellow flag icon.
Home location
Your registered home location.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in a MP3 file. This embedded in-
formation can include the track title, the ar-
tist’s name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted by the num-
ber of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
JPEG
This stands for Joint Photographic Experts
Group, and is an international still image com-
pression standard.
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an
audio compression standard established by a
working group (MPEG) of the ISO (Interna-
tional Standards Organization). MP3 is able to
compress audio data to about 1/10th the size
of a conventional disc.
MPEG
This stands for Moving Pictures Experts
Group, and is an international video image
compression standard.
Phone book
An address book on user’s phone is collec-
tively referred to as “ Phone book”. Depending
on the cellular phone, “Phone book” may be
called a name such as “Contacts”, “Business
card” or something else.
Appendix
En
126
Appendix
Point of Interest (POI)
Point Of Interest; any of a range of locations
stored in the data, such as railway stations,
shops, restaurants, and amusement parks.
Route setting
The process of determining the ideal route to a
specific location; route setting is done auto-
matically by the system when you specify a
destination.
Set route
The route marked out by the system to your
destination. It is highlighted in bright color on
the map.
Track log
Your navigation system logs your course that
you already pass through if the track logger is
activated. This recorded course is called “track
log”. It is handy when you want to check a
route traveled or if returning along a complex
route.
VBR
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit
rate according to the needs of audio compres-
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-
priority sound quality.
Voice guidance
The giving of directions by navigation voice
while in guidance.
Waypoint
A location that you choose to visit before your
destination; a journey can be built up from
multiple way points and the destination.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media™ Audio
and refers to an audio compression technol-
ogy that is developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
