Dash Bracket Installation
The dash control mounts with two screws, which attach to the underside of
the dashboard. Slide under the dash and place the dash control in its mount-
ing position, mark the two mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and secure with
two screws.
Custom Installation
For that custom, finished look, the dash control can be flush mounted
directly on the dashboard (or anywhere else). We have provided an extra
label to help make this happen. Referencing Figure 8, disassemble the
dash control from the mounting bracket. Start by pushing the LED from its
holder followed by removing the circuit board and rotary control from the
bracket. Drill a 9/32 hole in the dashboard for the control along with a 1/8
hole for the lock tab and a 13/64 hole for the LED holder. Reassemble the
dash control components on the dashboard and apply the new label over the
openings.
Troubleshooting
It is important to remember when installing your LC7 that the engineers
who work for the car manufacturers don’t spend too much time thinking
about interfacing after market products. Therefore you will most likely have
to “modify” your traditional wiring and installation techniques when work-
ing with these types of systems. Many times traditional 12 volt “turn-on”
wires or pre-amp audio signals that you are used to with aftermarket systems
don’t exist on these newer vehicles.
No Power:
If the Power LED on your LC7 will not turn on, check to make
sure that the power wire and remote turn-on wires (if used) are connected or
a fuse has not blown, and that your factory head unit is on!
LC7 Turns Off Intermittently:
If you are using the GTO signal sensing
to turn on your LC7 yet your system is turning off, this may be due to a cel-
lular phone interface or navigation system built in to your factory installed
source unit. These are known to route the audio signal away from your
source unit’s outputs. In these situations it is recommended that you connect
a 12-volt trigger wire from the Remote In on the LC7.
Sounds Distorted:
Should your system sound distorted or your speak-
ers are moving way too much, you should make sure you have your levels
matched properly and that your amplifier gains are set at minimum.
System Hiss:
Check to make sure that your amplifier gains are set at the
minimum level.
Turn-On Pop or Turn-Off Pop:
This generally occurs when your ampli-
fiers are turning on or off at a different time than your LC7. Therefore it
is recommended that you use the “Remote Out” on your LC7 to turn your
amplifiers on or off and eliminate any timing issues.
