Installation of headrest products require careful planning and preparation. Be
extremely careful of seats that have airbags built into them. Keep wiring away from
any air bag wiring (usually identified by yellow connectors and yellow wire jackets).
Damage to air bag wiring can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. If you
have any questions regarding wire routing or installation in a vehicle, please contact
Audiovox Technical Support at 1-800-225-6074.
When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation, insure that the
ACC wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle ACC wiring.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops
between the vehicle connection point and the mobile video product.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to
the driver if the LCD panel or video monitor is used for vehicle information, system
control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD panel or video monitor is
used for television reception, video or DVD play, the LCD panel or video monitor
must be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in
“park” or when the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.
An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that
operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking is not applied must be
installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be visible, directly or
indirectly, to be operator of the motor vehicle.

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. The mounting method and the location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so
this manual will only focus on the installation of the Master and Satellite Monitors in
the supplied configuration. The best location for the HR7012M/HR7012S System
components are:
a. Monitors: Vehicle-specific Headrest
Note: The Master Monitor should be installed in the passenger position most
used.
b. Wireless FM Interface Box: Under either seat where monitors are located.
3) Locate an accessory power source (+12 VDC should be present when the
ignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0 VDC 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 , 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 the vehicle's original Headrests.
b. Hold the 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).
c. Route the cables through the seat back and out the bottom of the seat.
d. Place the Headrest support tubes into the support tube holes while pulling
the cables to remove the slack. Be sure to leave enough slack in the monitor
cables to allow the headrest to move up or down.

8
7) Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of
all the system functions.
a. The headrest DIN cables and the FMM Interface Box DIN cables are color
coded. Connect each headrest cable to the correct color cable on the FMM
Interface Box.
b. Extend the wireless FM antenna to its full length and orientate for best
reception. Do not place it on the FMM Interface Box or near metal.
c. Connect the DC power jack.
.
8) After verifying the proper operation of the system, mount each component.
9) When all the components are mounted, recheck the entire system to be sure it is
functioning correctly. Make sure that no wiring was pinched or connected
improperly during the final installation.
Wireless FM Modulator
The HR7011PKG is equipped with a built-in wireless FM Modulator*, that allows
you to listen to the DVD audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to the selected
frequency, (88.1MHz, 88.3MHz, 88.5MHz, 88.7MHz, 88.9MHz, 89.1MHz,
89.3MHz, 89.5MHz, 89.7MHz, 89.9MHZ, 90.1MHz, 90.3MHz, 90.5MHz,
90.7MHz, 90.9MHz, 91.1MHz, 91.3MHz, 91.5MHz, 91.7MHz, 91.9MHz, 92.1MHz,
92.3MHz, 92.5MHz, 92.7MHz, 92.9MHZ, 93.1MHz, 93.3MHz, 93.5MHz,
93.7MHz, 93.9MHz, 94.1MHz, 94.3MHz, 94.5MHz, 94.7MHz, 94.9MHz, 95.1MHz,
95.3MHz, 95.5MHz, 95.7MHz, 95.9MHZ, 96.1MHz, 96.3MHz, 96.5MHz,
96.7MHz, 96.9MHz, 97.1MHz, 97.3MHz, 97.5MHz, 97.7MHz, 97.9MHz, 98.1MHz,
98.3MHz, 98.5MHz, 98.7MHz, 98.9MHZ, 99.1MHz, 99.3MHz, 99.5MHz,
99.7MHz, 99.9MHz, 100.1MHz, 100.3MHz, 100.5MHz, 100.7MHz, 100.9MHz,
101.1MHz, 101.3MHz, 101.5MHz, 101.7MHz, 101.9MHZ, 102.1MHz, 102.3MHz,
102.5MHz, 102.7MHz, 102.9MHz, 103.1MHz, 103.3MHz, 103.5MHz, 103.7MHz,
103.9MHz, 104.1MHz, 104.3MHz, 104.5MHz, 104.7MHz, 104.9MHZ, 105.1MHz,
105.3MHz, 105.5MHz, 105.7MHz, 105.9MHz, 106.1MHz, 106.3MHz, 106.5MHz,
106.7MHz, 106.9MHz, 107.1MHz, 107.3MHz, 107.5MHz, 107.7MHz,107.9MHZ).
This feature is accessed by using the FM transmitter buttons on the remote (FMM
ON/OFF).Whenever the FM Modulator is on, broadcast reception on the vehicle’s
radio will be poor. Switching off the FM Modulator will allow normal radio reception.
*Note: In certain areas where there are a large number of FM radio stations (e.g. large
cities, urban areas), the reception of the FM signal may not be satisfactory, resulting in
static, distorted sound or signal bleed thru from strong local radio stations. This is not a
defect in the product, but the result of a stronger local radio station overpowering the
wireless FM transmitter in your overhead pod.
If wireless reception is unsatisfactory, an optional wired relay box (Audiovox P/N
SIRSWB) can be installed which will improve audio quality. Please contact the installer
if this is the case with your product.
