[. . . ] 8) After verifying proper operation of the system, proceed to mount each of the components. Installation Guide 9) When all components are mounted, recheck function of entire system again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during final installation. 4 Installation Guide VEHICLE PREPARATION: 1) Locate an accessory power source (+12v when key is in the ACC. 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 installed. The monitor should be located in such a manner that it can be comfortably viewed by rear seat passengers. 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) B) C) Removal of the vehicle's dome light The headliner may need to be trimmed using the trim ring as a template per the drawing below. If the trim ring will be used, it will have to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle's headliner. Refer to the "Trim Ring installation" section further on in this manual. FULL SIZE CONSOLE INSTALLATION There are several "full size" custom consoles available for selected vehicles. Some of these vehicles are the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition, and Dodge Durango. These full size consoles incorporate several additional features, and are particularly useful if the vehicle you are installing this system into already has an OEM overhead console in the headliner. Refer to the installation manual that comes with the console itself for complete installation instructions. 5 TRIM RING INSTALLATION: This page only covers special installation considerations for the trim ring installation. If the video monitor is to be installed with a custom full sized overhead console, refer to page 5. If the video monitor is to be installed in a vehicle with the trim ring, it may need to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle headliner. 1) In this installation, the video monitor is mounted directly to the overhead cross-member in the roof using the mounting screw bosses. These screw bosses should contact the cross-member directly (i. e. : no gap between the screw boss and the roof structure). Remove Adhesive Backing and Apply IR LED to IR Window on the Face of the VCP . "Y" Adapter for use with Non-Stereo Installations ANT. IN FUSE DC IN RF OUT OUT 1) Insert the Circular Mini-Din Connector of the source Component Harness through the wire tie loop on the main PCB and into the Mini-Din Connector on the main PCB. 3) Connect the Power Harness to the mating connector on the Video Monitor. 4) Connect the power harness to the vehicle's electrical system through an In-Line 5-Ampere fuse by tapping into an accessory hot line. 5) Verify all functions of the System before final mounting of the finished assembly. Note: A second VCP or other A/V Component can be connected to the video monitor system using a second Source Component Harness (purchased separately, part number: 8010730). This second harness would plug into the second Mini-Din connector on the main PCB as in steps 1 above. A/V Source Definitions: 1= AV1 (right Mini-Din on main PCB) 8 CONNECTING THE DOME LIGHTS The dome lights in the video monitor require three connections to the vehicle's wiring. There are two common types of dome light circuits used, positive or negative switched. Positive systems supply voltage to the interior lights to turn them on, negative switched systems apply ground to illuminate the bulbs. To determine which system you have you must locate the wires at the dome light. [. . . ] To determine which system you have you must locate the wires at the dome light. On a positive switched system, with all the doors closed and the lights out, both wires at the dome light will rest at ground. When the light is activated, one of these wires will switch to +12 vdc. On a negative switched system, with all the doors closed and the lights out, both wires at the dome light will rest at + 12vdc. [. . . ]
