IMPORTANT NOTICES Installation of overhead products requires careful planning and preparation. Be extremely careful when working on a vehicle with side curtain air bags. Do not route wires near any portion of the side curtain air bag assemblies. This includes anchor points in A, B, C or D pillars of the vehicle. Routing wires in these areas or running wires by the side curtain air bags can prevent the side curtain air bag from fully deploying which can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants.

GENERAL VEHICLE INSTALLATION APPROACH 1. Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, Video Game, external amp). 2. Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and connections. 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.
VEHICLE PREPARATION 1. Locate an accessory +12v power source with a good ground. These wires can be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box.
