Frequently Asked Questions - AVH-P6400CD PIONEER

How to connect the power cord?

The yellow wire connects to the battery (permanent 12V), the red wire to a switched power source (ACC), and the black wire to ground. Use an ISO connector if available. See the manual for the exact wiring diagram.

What to do with the blue/white wire?

This wire is a control output (max. 300 mA) to turn on an external amplifier or a motorized antenna. Do not connect it to the amplifier's power supply, but to its remote terminal.

Can I install the car stereo myself?

Pioneer recommends using a certified installer due to the risk of electric shock or damage. If you do it yourself, disconnect the battery and follow the instructions carefully.

Which speakers can I use?

Speakers with a power rating of 50 W and impedance between 4 and 8 ohms. Using different models may cause overheating or fire.

How to connect a rear camera?

Connect the camera to the video input (RCA) of the stereo. Engaging reverse gear will automatically switch the display to the camera.

When to replace the fuse, what type to use?

Replace it with a fuse of the same amperage as indicated on the fuse holder. An incorrect fuse may damage the device.

Why does the screen not turn on?

Check that the red wire is connected to a 12V source that is active when the ignition is on. If not, the battery may drain. Also ensure the fuse has not blown.

How to clean the car stereo?

Use a soft dry cloth. Never use solvents, abrasive products, or sprays as they could damage the surface or penetrate inside.

The sound is disturbed by noise. What to do?

Install the provided noise filters on the power and speaker cables. Avoid routing cables near sources of interference (engine, radiator). Ensure the ground is of good quality.

Can I connect an external amplifier?

Yes, use the pre-amp outputs (RCA) and the blue/white wire for the turn-on signal. Do not exceed the maximum current of 300 mA on this wire.

CAUTION

• PIONEER does not recommend that you install or service your display yourself. Installing or servicing the product may expose you to 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.

Note:

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the battery cable before beginning installation.
  Refer to the owner's manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake, and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.
• Don't pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right speaker leads are common.
• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the end of the connector.
• Speakers connected to this unit must be high-power types with minimum rating of 50W and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

• When this product's source is switched ON, a control signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power amp's system remote control or the car's Auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300mA12VDC ). If the car features a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster power supply terminal.

• When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white lead to the amp's power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction.

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the nused speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insulated.
• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the connectors of the same colors correctly.
• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained when you are away from the vehicle for several hours. (Fig.1)

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current products such as power amps. If you ground the products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the products or fire.
• 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.

Note:

• Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected up properly, and the unit and the system work properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver's way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• Do not place the display in a position where it will impede the driver's visibility or affect the operation of your vehicle's air bags.

• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so don't install the unit anywhere hot — for instance, near a heater outlet.

• If installation angle exceeds 30^ from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance. (Fig. 8)
