There is going to be a module that you pioneer harness is wired in to, that is where you r going to turn the volume down. Just grab a small flathead and turn that sucker to the desired level and u will be golden. Also just an fyi u dont just ground the parking brake wire. Do a search on this forum to find a step by step pictorial on how to do it. If you know what u r doing it will take just a few minutes to tackle.

Yeah I know it is a pretty dumb design but that is what u have to do. If you look at the hardwire harness it does not give you switched or ground because you have to supply the unit with it via the cig lighter plug. I always just open up cig lighter plugs and solder wires right to the board. When I first looked at the hardwire harness i was dumbfounded that it was not supplied with switched or ground.

If you are running audio through the device it will auto mute. The hardwire harness does not supply u with a mute button. To answer the second question your unit will turn on and off with the ignition. You have to hook up the constant yellow in the harness and hardwire the cig lighter plug to switched. You dont have to wait for it to load up every time when it is installed correctly. Hope this helps!

ok you dont have it hooked up all the way. You are almost there though! You will notice on the hardwire cable that their is female input on it. That female input is for the male end of the cig lighter adapter. I know it is dumb and it should of all been incorporated into the din cable but it is not. Just hardwire the cig lighter plug and plug it in and viola fully functional with no wait for start-up!
