USER MANUAL AVH-X8800BT PIONEER
Your new product and this manual
- Do not operate this product, any applications, or the rear view camera option (if purchased) if doing so will divert your attention in any way from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic regulations. If you experience difficulty in operating this product or reading the display, park your vehicle in a safe location and apply the handbrake before making the necessary adjustments.
- Do not install this product where it may
(i) obstruct the driver's vision,
(ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicle's operating systems of safety features, including airbags, hazard lamp buttons, or
(iii) impair the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle. In some cases, it may not be possible to install this product because of the vehicle type or the shape of the vehicle interior.
The graphical symbol placed on the product means direct current.
Important safeguards
CAUTION
Pioneer does not recommend that you install this product yourself. This product is designed for professional installation only. We recommend that only authorised 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
Do not take any steps to tamper with or disable the handbrake interlock system which is in place for your protection. Tampering with or disabling the handbrake interlock system could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
- 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 gearstick. Be sure to install this product, its cables, and wiring away in such so 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, gearstick, handbrake, 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 product 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
Use speakers over 50 W (maximum input power) and between 4 Ω to 8 Ω (impedance value). Do not use 1 Ω to 3 Ω speakers for this product.
The black lead is earth. Please earth this lead separately
from the earth of high-current products such as power amps. Do not earth more than one product together with the earth from another product. For example, you must separately earth any amp unit away from the earth of this product. Connecting grounds together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if their grounds became detached.
- When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this product.
This product cannot be installed in a vehicle without ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch.

ACC position

No ACC position
- To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit.
- For connecting a power amp or other devices to this product, refer to the manual for the product to be connected.
Notice for the blue/white lead
When the ignition switch is turned on (ACC ON), a control signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power amp's system remote control terminal, the auto-aerial relay control terminal, or the aerial booster power control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). The control signal is output through the blue/white lead, even if the audio source is switched off.
Important
When this product is in "Power OFF" mode, the control signal is also turned off. If "Power OFF" mode is cancelled, the control signal is output again and the aerial is extended with the auto aerial function (if the aerial is being used). Be careful so that the extended aerial does not come into contact with any obstacles.

Precautions before installation
CAUTION
Never install this product in places where, or in a manner that:
- Could injure the driver or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
- May interfere with the driver's operation of the vehicle, such as on the floor in front of the driver's seat, or close to the steering wheel or gearstick.
To ensure proper installation, be sure to use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts are not supplied with this product, use compatible parts in the manner specified after you have the parts' compatibility checked by your dealer. If parts other than supplied or compatible ones are used, they may damage internal parts of this product or they may work loose and the product may become detached. - Do not install this product where it may (i) obstruct the driver's vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicle's operating systems or safety features, including airbags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle.
- Never install this product in front of or next to the place in the dashboard, door, or pillar from which one of your vehicle's airbags would deploy. Please refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for reference to the deployment area of the frontal airbags.
Before installing
- Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires drilling holes or other modifications of the vehicle.
Before making a final installation of this product, temporarily connect the wiring to confirm that the connections are correct and the system works properly. - Do not install this product in a position where the opening of the LCD panel is obstructed by any obstacles, such as the gearstick. Before installing this product, be sure to leave sufficient space so that the LCD panel does not obstruct the gearstick when it is fully opened. This may cause interference with the gearstick, or a malfunction of the mechanism of this product.
Installation notes
-
Do not install this product in places subject to high temperatures or humidity, such as:
-
Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.
- Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
- Places that may be exposed to rain, such as close to the door or on the vehicle's floor.
- Install this product horizontally on a surface within 0 to 30 degrees tolerance (within 5 degrees to the left or right). Improper installation of the product with the surface tilted more than these tolerances increases the potential for errors in the vehicle's location display, and might otherwise cause reduced display performance.

- When installing, to ensure proper heat dispersal when using this product, make sure you leave ample space behind the rear panel and wrap any loose cables so they are not blocking the vents.
