GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH:
1) Decide upon system configuration and options that will
be
installed.
2) Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and hook ups.
3) Decide upon mounting locations
of
all components and method
of
mounting.
4) Prep the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to vehicle's wiring as well
as
all
areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will need to
be
located. If any access holes need to
be
cut
into the vehicle (headliner, othertrim components etc.), this should
be
done now
as
well.
5) Route the wiring harnessesthroughout the vehicle as necessary. (Referto the Wiring Diagrams
on
this manual as well as the wiring instructionsforthe individual components and accessory options
being installed). Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed
in
such a manner
that pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in
the wiring at each componentto allow working room.
6)
Remove all
AN
system components from their packaging and place them loosely
in
the vehicle at their
respective locations.
7)
Connect all components together (electrically) and verify properoperation
of
all system functions.
Note:
This is best done BEFORE, components have been permanently mounted.
8) Afterverifying proper operation
of
the system, proceed to mountofeach component.
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.
VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1) Locate an accessory power source
(+
12vwhen key is
in
theACC. and run positions, and
Ov
when key is
off), and also a good ground generally, these wires can
be
found at the ignition switch orfuse-box.
2) The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus
on
the
installation
of
the VOD1
OPS2
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.
NEVER INSTALL THE MONITOR
INAPLACEWITHINTHE
DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS
IS
NOTONLY
DANGEROUS, BUT IT ISALSO ILLEGAL
IN
MANY STATES.
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) Removal
of
the vehicle's dome light
B) If the trim ring will be used, it may have to
be
trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle's headliner.
Refer to the "Trim Ring Installation" section in this manual.
