23Using the external unit (EXT1, EXT2)
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 “Installation Manual”.
For details concerning operation, refer to the external unit’s operation manual. This section provides information on external unit opera- tions with the navigation system that differ from those described in the external unit’s op- eration manual.
pOperation varies depending on the external unit connected. (In some cases, the exter- nal unit may not respond.)
