GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH:
1)Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, VCP, Tuner, RF Modulator/external amp, re- mote headphones, DVD, etc.).
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 ac- cess 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, other trim components etc.), this should be done now as well.
5)Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagrams on page 10 of this manual as well as the wiring instructions for the 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 it will not be pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow working room.
6)Remove all A/V system components from their packaging and place them loosely in the vehicle at their respective locations.
7)Connect all components together (electrically) and verify proper op- eration of all system functions. Note: This is best done BEFORE components have been permanently mounted.
8)After verifying proper operation of the system, proceed to mount each of the components.
9)When all components are mounted, recheck function of entire sys- tem again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected im- properly during final installation.
