Connection/Installation

Cautions

• Do not install this unit in a car that has no ACC position. The display of the unit does not turn off even after turning the ignition off, and this causes battery drain.

• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.

• Do not get the leads trapped under a screw or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).

• Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits.

• Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only after all other leads have been connected.

• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.

• Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.

• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.

• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component’s fuse amperage rating.

Note on installing in cars with a start-stop system

The unit may restart when starting the engine from startstop. In this case, turn off the start-stop system of your car.

Note on installing in cars with electric parking brake system

For cars with electric parking brakes, some related functions

(such as video blocking function) may not work properly.

Mounting angle adjustment

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30°.
