VEHICLE PREPARATION
1) Decide on the system configuration and the options that will be in-
stalled (i.e.whatcomponents, VCP,DVD, TV Tuner,VideoGame,
Monitor,FMModulator,etc.).
2) Read the manuals and get familiar with the electrical requirements
andconnections.
3) Decideonthemountinglocationsandmethodsofmountingtheprod-
ucts.
4) Preparethevehicle by removing anyinteriortrimnecessary to gain
accesstothevehicle'swiringaswellasallareaswhereinterconnect-
ingwireharnesseswillbelocated.Ifanyaccessholesneedtobecut

performednow.(RefertotheInstallationProcedure).
5) Runthewiringharnessesandcablingthroughoutthevehicleasnec-
essary.(Refertothewiringinstructionsfortheindividualcomponents
andaccessoryoptionsbeinginstalled).Besure,thatallthewiringis
protectedfromsharpedgesandisroutedinsuchamannerthatitwill
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.
6) Remove all the A/V system components from their packaging and
thenplacetheminthevehicleattheirrespectivelocations.
7) Locateanaccessorypowersource(RedWire)(+12VDCpresentwhen
theignition keyis in the accessory and run positions. 0VDC should
bepresent,whentheignitionkeyis in the OFF position). Generally,
thesewirescanbefoundattheignitionswitchor fuse box.
8) LocateaConstantPowerSource(YellowWire)(+12VDCpresentat
all times).
NOTE: Ensure that the accessory power is fused at the source.
Failure to do so may result in vehicle wiring damage.) Ground the
blackwire toa chassis ground close to the mounting location of AV
sources.
9) Connectallthecomponentstogether(electrically)andverifythatthe
proper operation of all the system functions. NOTE: This is best
doneBEFOREthecomponentsarepermanentlymounted.
