The term “external unit” refers to future
Pioneer devices that are not currently planned
for, or to devices that allow control of basic
functions although they are not fully con-
trolled by the navigation system. Two external
units can be controlled by this navigation sys-
tem. When two external units are connected,
the navigation system allocates them as exter-
nal unit 1 or external unit 2.
For details of the connection method, refer to
the Installation Manual.
For details of the operation, refer to the exter-
nal unit’s operation manual. This section pro-
vides information on external unit operations
with the navigation system that differ from
those described in the external unit’s opera-
tion manual.
p Operation varies depending on the external
unit connected. (In some cases, the exter-
nal unit may not respond.)
