4. Installing the VMA6593 The VMA6593 is designed for custom installation. While a basic flush-mount bezel is supplied, you may need parts that are not included (depending on your installation). Clarion also offers optional mounting kits - the ZMT003 is a flexible “gooseneck” mount, and the PQE023 positions the monitor on the back of a vehicle headrest. After you cut the opening, route the DIN-connector end of the wiring harness into the opening from the rear out the front.
PAGE 8
Connect the wiring harness to the monitor, and tuck the excess wiring harness length carefully out of the way behind the bezel. Gently insert the monitor into the bezel. Press only on the edges of the monitor, not on the screen. You will hear a few soft “clicks” as the monitor locks into place. Removing the monitor from the bezel To remove the monitor from the bezel, insert a flat card (such as a credit card) between the monitor case and the side of the bezel to release the spring clips.

Custom Mounting using the threaded insert 5. Wiring the VMA6593 The base of the VMA6593 has a threaded insert (1/4 - 20). This insert can be used with the optional Clarion ZMT009 gooseneck mounting kit or with a 1/4 -20 machine screw in custom applications. The following pages display wiring diagrams for various VMA6593 configurations.
