Before you Begin 

This document covers the installation of the DVM-100 and DVM-400 systems only.  

Tools Needed 

  #2 Phillips head screwdriver 

  #20 Torx screwdriver or bit 

  1/8" (4 mm) flat-blade screwdriver 

  Digital Volt Meter

Cautions and Notes 

Please read and follow the instructions and precautions in this installation guide when installing 
DVM-100 and DVM-400 products.  
 

  For assistance, a qualified installation technician or mechanic should be consulted. 

 

  Do not use excessive force when removing the mirror from the windshield.  The mirror 

mounting plate may become separated from the windshield and/or the windshield may 
break if excessive force is used.  If you are unfamiliar with rearview mirror removal seek 
professional assistance. 
 

  Do not route wiring and cabling over sharp metal edges where they may become damaged 

or cut. 
 

  To prevent electrical shorts or breakage in the wiring and cabling, do not allow wiring and 

cabling to be pinched behind trim pieces, panels, or other physical objects. 
 

  Do not run wires or cables in areas where they may become damaged by heat from the 

engine or the exhaust system. 
 

  Do not install any DVM components or wiring in the deployment path of the air bag(s). 

 

  When installing the cables or making wire connections, it is recommended you leave a little 

‘slack’ in the cable connections to allow for service loops and for movement of the mirror so 
the connections do not get pulled or accidentally disconnected. 
 

  Where possible, avoid running cables parallel to other wiring and/or antenna coax that may 

be installed in the vehicle. 

 

  Where possible, do not leave excessive cable above the headliner. 

 

  We recommend at least 2 feet of distance between our cabling and that of other systems 

which may carry a signal for transmit and/or receive. 
 

Additional precautions within this document are denoted with 

 and 

notes are designated with
