    More Information
    Feeling bored? Need an extreme-audio fix? Open the DEH-P840MP's motorized flap face and spin up one of your WMA- or MP3-encoded discs. Or pop in a regular CD, CD-R, or CD-RW: the DEH-P840MP plays them all, and it also controls Pioneer CD changers. Want a big jolt of color and motion in your dash? The Organic Electroluminescent (OEL) display is a killer, with full-motion and 3D graphics and a wide viewing angle. And when the motorized flap face is open, the OEL's dual display areas provide you with two sets of info. MOSFET 50 watts x 4 power keeps things rocking, and if you want to add amps, there are three pair of Hi-Volt (4V) RCA pre-outs at your disposal. The DEH-P840MP is XM Ready and comes with a steering wheel remote. The Premier two-year limited warranty applies.

    hey, looks like a nice unit, i have a pioneer DEH-P7700MP, i love it. You could just hook up the red, yellow and black wire under your hood at the battery, you don't need speakers hooked up BUT make sure each wire coming from the deck is taped and not going to short anything or any other wire, it only takes a second to fry it. The red and yellow wires are positive so you could twist them together and put on the positive of the battery and the black wire is negative and goes to the ground of the battery. Get some extra wire and strip it a lot so you can wrap it around your battery terminal or wherever is good. And watch the positive wire from the battery to deck, DO Not let it ground to the car At All. Tape everything!! Can do the same thing with a 12 volt dc adapter if you have one.

    yes, the black wire can go right to the negative of the battery terminal, which is grounded to your car.

    are you hooking both the red and yellow wire to positive of your battery? That screwdriver thing is just a continuity tester. Checks for broken wires or circuits.
