Important Notice
Installation of headrest products require careful planning and preparation. Be extremely careful
with 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.
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
6
1) Decide on the system configuration and the options that will be installed.
2) Read the manual and get familiar with the electrical requirements and
connections.
3) Decide on the mounting locations and methods of mounting the products that
will be connected to the AVXMTGHR1DA.
4) 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. This manual will only focus on the installation of the
AVXMTGHR1DA Monitors in the supplied configuration.
NOTE: The Master Monitor should be installed in the passenger position most
used.)
5) Locate an accessory power source +12VDC (ACC) 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 found at the ignition switch or fusebox.
NOTE: Ensure that the accessory power is fused at the source. Failure to do so
may result in vehicle wiring damage.
6) Run the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the
Wiring Diagrams on page 8). 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 seat movement.

7) Install the headrests:
a. Remove vehicle's original headrests.
b. Insert appropriate support tube adaptors in vehicle post guides (if needed).
c. Hold the headrest above the seat and insert the two cables into the vehicle
support guides. Make sure that the headrest is in the correct position (display
facing the rear).
d. Route the cables through the seat back and out the bottom of the seat 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) Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of
all the system functions.
9) If 2 AVXMTGHR1DA’s are installed in a vehicle, set one unit to IRTA and the
other unit to IRTB. See page 14 for instructions.

Wireless FM Modulator
The AVXMTGHR1DA 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, (CH1 87.7MHz, CH2 88.1MHz, CH3 88.5MHz, CH4
88.9MHz, CH5 106.7.1MHz, CH6 107.1MHz, CH7 107.5MHz, CH8 107.9MHz).
This feature is accessed by using the FM transmitter buttons on the remote
(FMM ON/OFF, and CHANNEL SELECT).
Whenever the FM Modulator is on, broadcast reception on the vehicles radio will
be poor. Switching the FM Modulator off 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 headrest monitor. Under
these conditions use of wired or wireless headphones is recommended.
