GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH:

1) Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, VCP,

Video Game, external amp, wireless headphones, VCP, etc.).

2) Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and hook ups.
3) Decide upon mounting locations of all components and method of mounting.
4) Prep the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to vehicle's wiring as well as

all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will need to be located.  If any access holes need to
be cut into the vehicle (headliner, other trim components etc.), this should be done now as well.
(Refer to Page 3).

5) Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary.  (Refer to the Wiring Diagrams on

pages 6 of this manual as well as the wiring instructions for the individual components and accessory
options being installed).  Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a
manner that it will not be pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed.  Be sure to
leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow working room.

6) Remove all A/V system components from their packaging and place them loosely in the vehicle at

their respective locations.

7) Connect all components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of all system functions.

Note:  This is best done BEFORE, components have been permanently mounted.

8) After verifying proper operation of the system, proceed to mount of each component.
9) When all components are mounted, recheck function of entire system again to ensure that no wiring

was pinched or connected improperly during final installation.
