VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1)Read the manuals and get familiar with the electrical requirements and connections.
2)Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to the vehicle's wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will be located. (Refer to the Installation Procedure). The mounting method, and the location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus for the installation of the UNIT Master and Satellite Monitors in the supplied configuration. The best location for the UNIT components is:
a.Monitors: (NOTE: The MMD7HRM Monitor should be installed where the passenger usually sits behind the front passenger seat.
b.Audio Interface Box: Under either seat where monitors are located.
3)Locate an accessory power source (+12VDC present when the ignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0VDC should be present when the ignition key is in the OFF position), and a good ground. Generally, these wires can be located at the ignition switch or fusebox.
(NOTE: Ensure that the switched power is fused at the source. Failure to do so may result in vehicle wiring damage.)
4)Run the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagrams on page 10, as well as the wiring instructions for the individual components and accessory options being installed). Be sure, that all the wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner that it will not be pinched, when it is fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow sufficient working room. Be sure to leave enough slack in the monitor cables to allow the headrest to move up or down, and the seat to move backward and forward.
5)Remove all the components from their packaging and then place them in the vehicle at their respective locations.
6)Install the Headrests:
a.Remove vehicle's original Headrests. Measure the distance between the posts and adjust the new Headrests to same dimension.
b.Place the appropriate headrest support tube into the support tube hole. (If needed)
c.Hold the UNIT Headrest above the seat and insert the two cables into the headrest support tube holes. Make sure that the headrest is in the correct position (Display facing the rear).
