I bought a used car last year with this aftermarket Pioneer radio model already installed with a backup camera too. I'm planning to store the car for 2-3 months and would like to disconnect the battery cable to prevent discharging the battery. Does anyone know if a security code is needed when I power her up again? I nave looked at online manuals and this does not seem to be so. Still, anybody know anything with this radio model? BTW, the Pioneer AVH-2450DVD is a very similar model, says the internet.
One more thing, I measured the battery drain with my VOM with everything turned off, and it's 172 milliamperes. Quite high, I think, as that's about 4 Ampere-hours a day. But I've never had any problem with the car in the past 13 months of ownership. Always started quickly even after a few days of non-use.There's an anti theft alarm installed and this plus the radio could be why the current drain's elevated.
