I am looking into the portable solution (I currently have an AVH-P4000 DVD installed) for navigation, and am looking for information on it.

 

My main questions are: does this unit have a mute wire? I know that you can buy the external Pioneer amp and wire that up, but my speakers are already amped. Any ideas here?

 

My second question is this: When wired to a switched power source, will the unit automatically turn on and off or does the power button need to be pressed each time? Is there a way to wire it up to do this if not?

 

Thanks for your help!

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!
