Tuner module installation
The tuner module can be located in any place which is convenient, such as under a
seat, under or behind the dashboard, or in the trunk or rear cargo area, etc. The loca-
tion should be one where the tuner module will not get bumped or kicked, and where
the wiring can be easily hidden. It should not be located where it will be in direct
sunshine, causing the temperature to exceed 85° C (185° F) in warm weather.
The tuner module has four feet for securing mounting it to the vehicle as shown in
Figure 5. These feet are removable if a different mounting choice is desired.
display Control unit installation
The DCU should be mounted in the front seating area of the vehicle, where it can be
easily seen and operated by the driver, but not mounted where it could distract the
driver, or obstruct the driver’s view. It should also not be mounted where it could inter-
fere with the operation of the airbags in the vehicle. Figure 4 shows a typical mounting
location on the center console of the dash.
infrared eye installation
The IR eye receives the backseat TV remote control signals, and should be mounted in
the rear seat area where the video monitor is located. It can be mounted on the rear of
the center console, or on the pillar behind one of the front doors, as shown in Figure 4.
You may need to test your mounting location to ensure that the IR eye will receive the
