Dome Light

The built-in Dome Light has three modes of operation:

1) External Dome Light Switch

In this mode, the Dome Light is controlled by an externally mounted switch. This mode is the lights highest priority and supersedes all other modes of operation.

Two wires are used to control this operation: Dome Light ALWAYS ON

Dome Light ALWAYS OFF

2) Vehicle Door Open/Close

When connected to the factory door switch, the Dome Light will operate in conjunction with the opening and closing of the vehicle’s doors. If the External Dome Light Switch is being used, it must be disabled in order to this mode to operate properly.

3) Dome Light Remote Button

The Dome Light can be turned ON at any time, using the Dome Light button on the Remote Control. Again, the External Switch must be disabled in order for this mode to operate. Also, if the Dome Light is turned on using the Door Switch, the Dome Light button on the Remote Control can turn it OFF.

Additional Dome Light Feature

The TMX-R680 has an additional feature for controlling the built-in Dome Light. This gives the installer added flexibility in integrating the system into a vehicle.
