2 Check out the vehicle and plan your work
IMPORTANT!
The vehicle’s roof beam (above the headliner) must support the weight of the overhead con-
sole. The supplied mounting bracket must be fi rmly attached to the roof beam. Determine if
this is possible and that the vehicle is suitable for the installation.
CHECK THE BATTERY
Test the battery voltage to make sure it’s fully charged and inspect battery terminals for tightness and any corrosion. This
takes 30 seconds and can save hours of troubleshooting later.
DECIDE ON A LOCATION FOR THE MAIN UNIT
Location of the main unit varies by vehicle, but is typically on the center line of the vehicle and is always behind of the
front seats. Often, the main unit’s dome lights replace the factory dome light. Securely attach the mounting bracket to the
existing roof beam(s).
1 Make sure you have the tools and components you’ll need
These common hand tools are needed in almost every installation:
Phillips #2 screwdriver
Knife and blades
Digital multimeter (DMM)
1/4” drive sockets are often needed for dashboard and trim disassembly.
Check if Torx or Allen-drive bolts are used on any panels you will be removing.
You will need a DVD in good condition when testing the system.
Standard installation parts you will need include wire, wire ties, wire crimp connectors or solder, and electrical insulating
tape. Installation of aftermarket automotive electronics also often requires access to special parts. It is a good idea to
have a source for these common installation parts.
Wire cutters, strippers, and a crimping tool
Panel-removing tools
Marking pen or chalk, masking tape and cleaning cloths
7 Initial test, reassembly, and pre-delivery re-test
