1.
Decide on the system configuration and the options that will be installed.
2.
Read the manual and get familiar with the electrical requirements and connections.
3.
Decide on the mounting locations and methods of mounting the products that will be
connected to the AVXMTGHR9HD system.
4.
Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to the vehicle's
wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will be located. This
manual will only focus on the installation of the AVXMTGHR9HD monitor in the supplied
configuration.
NOTE:
The monitor should be installed in the passenger position most used.
5.
Locate an accessory power source and ground with +12 VDC (ACC) present when the
ignition key is in the accessory and run positions and 0 VDC should be present when the
ignition key is in the OFF position. Generally, these wires can be found at the ignition
switch or fusebox.
NOTE:
Insure that the accessory power is fused at the source. Failure to do so may result in
vehicle wiring damage.
6.
Run the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary (Refer to the Wiring
Diagrams on page 9). Be sure that all the wiring is protected from sharp edges and is
routed in such a manner that it will not be pinched when it is fully installed. Be sure to
leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow sufficient working room.
Be sure to leave enough slack in the monitor cables to allow the headrest to move up or
down, and for seat movement.
7.
Install the headrest:
a. Remove vehicle's original headrest.
b. Adjust the posts of the AVXMTGHR9HD to the same width of the posts on the original
headrest by pulling the posts apart or pushing them together. (Note: grab the posts close
to the bottom of the headrest while doing this adjustment)
c. Locate the tube adapters that most closely match the outer diameter of the original
vehicle headrest post.
d. Insert the appropriate support tube adapters in vehicle headrest post guides (if
needed).
e. Hold the headrest above the seat and insert the two cables into the vehicle support
guides. Make sure that the headrest is in the correct position (display facing the rear).
f. Route the cables through the seat back and out the bottom of the seat while pulling the
cables to remove the slack. Be sure to leave enough slack in the monitor cables to allow
the headrest to move up or down.
8.
Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of all the
system functions.
9.
If two (2) AVXMTGHR9HD’s are installed in a vehicle, set one unit to IRTA and the other
unit to IRTB. See page 16 or page 18 for instructions.
