GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH:

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.
