VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1) Locate a Battery and accessory power source (+12v when key is in the ACC. and run positions, and
0v when key is off). Also find a location that will provide a good grounding point. 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 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
