Installation Guide

VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1) Locate an accessory power source (+12v when key is in the ACC. and run positions, and 0v when key
is off). Generally, this wire can be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box.
2) The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus on
the installation of the video monitor and related console accessories.
3) Generally, the best location for the video monitor is where the vehicle's factory dome light is installed.
The monitor should be located in such a manner that it can be comfortably viewed by rear seat
passengers. NEVER INSTALL THE MONITOR IN A PLACE WITHIN THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS
IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS, BUT IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL.
4) Once the mounting location of the monitor has been determined, there may be additional preparation
work necessary, depending on the vehicle structure and installation method. Some of the steps that
may be required are:
A)
Removal of the vehicle's dome light
B)
The headliner may need to be trimmed using the trim ring as a template per the
drawing below.
C)
If the trim ring will be used, it will have to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle's
headliner. Refer to the "Trim Ring installation" section further on in this manual.
FULL SIZE CONSOLE INSTALLATION
There are several “full size” custom consoles available for selected vehicles. Some of these vehicles are
the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition, and Dodge Durango. These full size consoles incorporate
several additional features, and are particularly useful if the vehicle you are installing this system into
already has an OEM overhead console in the headliner.
Refer to the installation manual that comes with the console itself for complete installation instructions.
