I've not heard of Pioneer doing this but I think Alpine has been doing it for a long time. There are specific bypasses for this.. it may or may not work with a Pioneer unit, I would do more research.

I'm sure this is overpriced for the parts included, but it is not a bad price. I would rather just pay the $$ than figure out what is needed and try to rig up something myself. Here it just a place to start:
