GENERAL INSTALLATIONAPPROACH:
1)Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed
(i.e.: what components, VCP,Tuner,RF Modulator/externalamp,
remoteheadphones, DVD, etc.).
2)Reviewall manuals to become familiar withelectrical requirements
and hookups.
3)Decideupon mounting locations of all componentsandmethodof
mounting.
4)Prep the vehicle by removing anyinteriortrim necessary to gain ac-
cess to vehicle'swiring as well asall areas whereinterconnecting
wire harnesseswillneed to belocated.Ifany access holes need to
be cut intothevehicle(headliner,other trim components etc.), this
should be done nowas well.
5)Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicleas necessary.
(Refer to theWiringDiagrams on page10 of this manual as wellas
the wiringinstructions for the individual components and accessory
options being installed).Besure thatall wiring isprotected from
sharpedges and is routed in such amannerthatitwill notbe pinched
whenall components andinterior trim arefully installed. Be sure to
leaveenoughslack inthewiringateachcomponenttoallowworking
room.
6)Remove allA/V system components fromtheirpackaging and place
them looselyin the vehicle at their respective locations.
7)Connectallcomponents together(electrically)and verifyproper op-
erationof all system functions.Note:This is bestdoneBEFORE
components have been permanentlymounted.
8)Afterverifyingproper operation ofthe system,proceed tomounteach
ofthecomponents.
9)When all componentsaremounted,recheck theentire systemagain
to ensure that no wiring was pinched orconnected improperlydur-
ingfinalinstallation.

Notes :The MMD10 video system is onlyintended for an overhead,
drop downinstallation.Itisnotintended forseat back or any other
type of mounting. Thehinging mechanismis designedfor horizontal,
drop down use only.
VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1)Locateanaccessorypowersource (+12v whenkeyisin theACC.
and run positions, and 0v when key is off). Generally, thiswire can
be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box.
2)The mountingmethod and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle,
so this manual will only focuson the installation ofthevideo monitor
and related consoleaccessories.
3)Generally,the bestlocationforthevideomonitor iswherethevehicle's
factory domelight isinstalled. The monitorshouldbelocated in
suchamannerthatitcan be comfortablyviewed byrearseatpassen-
gers. NEVER INSTALL THE MONITOR IN A PLACE WITHIN THE
DRIVER'SVIEW.THISISNOTONLYDANGEROUS,BUT ITIS
ALSO ILLEGAL.
4)Once the mounting locationof the monitor has been determined,
there maybe additional preparation worknecessary, dependingon
the vehiclestructure and installation method.Someof the steps
thatmaybe required are:
A)Removal ofthe vehicle's dome light.
B)The headliner may need to be trimmed.

CONNECTINGTHEDOME LIGHTS
Thedomelightsinthe video monitor requirethreeconnections tothe
vehicle'swiring. Therearetwocommon typesof domelight circuits
used, positiveor negativeswitched. Positivesystems supply voltageto
theinteriorlights toturnthemon, negative switched systems apply
ground toilluminate the bulbs. Todetermine which systemyou have
youmust locate the wires atthe domelight.On apositive switched
system,with all the doors closed and the lights out, both wiresat the
domelight will rest at ground. Whenthe light isactivated, oneofthese
wires will switch to +12V DC. This is the vehicle's switchingwire. On a
negativeswitched system, withall the doorsclosedandthe lightsout,
bothwires at thedomelight will rest at + 12VDC.When the lightis
activated,one of thesewires will switchto ground. This isthe switching
wire.
Forpositivesystems, connect the violet/ brown (Lamp auto) wire to the
vehicle'sswitched wire. Then connect the red / black(lamp on) wire to
afusedconstant12 voltsourceandtheblack /red(lamp common)wire
toagoodground.Positive systemsarecommonlyfoundonFord
vehicles.
For negative systems,connect the violet /brown(Lamp auto) wire to
the vehicle'sswitchedwire.Thenconnect thered /black (lampon) wire
to a good ground andthe black/red(lamp common) wire to fusedcon-
stant12voltsource. Negative systemsarecommonlyfoundonGen-
eral Motors and import vehicles.
Note:
Some vehicleswhichincorporate transistorized control of the dome
light circuit,such asthe1999DodgeCaravan, mayrequirethatthe
violet/brown(Lampauto)wirebeconnected tothedoor pin switch
wire, as the additionalcurrentdraw ofthe Monitor'slights may not be
supportedbytheoutput of thevehicles bodycontrol computer.
