  3. You will see an input screen. It defaults to a Japanese keyboard.
  4. Tip for English Users: Use the Phone Number Search if possible. If you know the phone number of the restaurant or hotel you are going to, inputting the number is often much faster and bypasses the language barrier.

  1. "My screen says 放送波 (Housou Ha) - No Signal." : This is the Japanese TV tuner trying to find ISDB-T digital signals. It will never work outside Japan. Turn off TV mode entirely using the System Menu > Tuner Settings > TV Off.
  2. "I inserted an SD card, but it won't play MP3s." : The VH009 SD slot is for Map updates and photo viewing only. It does not play music. Use the USB cable or CD/DVD for audio.
  3. "The navigation is stuck on Tokyo." : The unit has a dead internal GPS battery. Even if you don't use Navi, the clock time won't sync. You must set the time manually via the "System Settings" > "Clock" (時計設定). Uncheck "GPS Sync."
  4. "My parking brake bypass isn't working." : Unlike older Pioneers, the VH009 requires a double-pulse ground. Simply grounding the parking brake wire won't work. You need a micro-relay or a "Pioneer Micro-bypass" purchased online.
  5. "The manual says 'Bluetooth Audio' but I can't find it." : The VH009 was early Bluetooth. You need a separate CD-BTB200 adapter module. It was not built-in.
