Vehicle Preparation
1) Locate vehicle power source. Generally this is best found near the vehicle’s fuse block,
which is usually (though not always) under the steering wheel area. Locate an accessory hot
circuit to tap into video system power. Accessory hot means a circuit that is +12VDC when
the ignition key is in either the “ACC’Y” or “Run” positions, and 0 volts DC when the ignition
key is removed from the vehicle.
2) Mounting location and method for the individual components will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
This manual will only focus on the installation of the video pod itself and related console
accessories.
3) Generally, the best location for the video pod itself is where the vehicle’s dome light is
traditionally installed (center of roof, just behind the two front seats). The pod should NEVER
be located in a position that would place it within the driver’s field of view. This is not only
hazardous for driving conditions (as it creates a distraction to the driver), but it is against the
law in many states. Check your state laws.
4) Once the pod location has been determined, there may be prep work required for the
headliner. See mounting detail below for headliner cutout dimensions and hole locations.
