VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1)
Locate a constant power source (+12v at all times), an accessory power source (+12v when key
is in the ACC. and run positions, and 0v when key is off), and also a good ground generally, these
wires 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 in-
stalled. 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 IN MANY STATES.
4)
Once the mounting location of the monitor has been determined, there may be additional prepara-
tion 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.
C) If the mini-console (P/N
102C3916
) will be used, it will have to be trimmed to fit the
contour of the vehicle's headliner. Refer to the "Mini-Console installation" section in
this manual.
