 Digital multimeter (DMM) 

 

·

 #2 Phillips screwdriver  

·

 Appropriate tool for headrest removal 

·

 Allen wrench set

 Panel removing tools   

 

·

 Cable routing tool (included) 

·

in good condition

 when testing the system 

 

Standard installation parts you will need include wire, wire ties, wire crimp connectors or solder, and 
electrical insulating tape. Installation of aftermarket automotive electronics also often requires access to 
special parts. It is a good idea to have a source for these common installation parts. 

 

 2 Inspect the vehicle and plan your work

CHECK THE BATTERY

 

Test the battery voltage to make sure it’s fully charged and inspect battery terminals for tightness and any 
corrosion. This only takes seconds and can save hours of troubleshooting later.  

DECIDE ON A LOCATION FOR THE INTERFACE UNIT

 

Location of the interface unit varies by vehicle, but is typically secured underneath a driver or passenger 
seat out of sight and unobstructed by moving parts and passengers.
