Installation Instructions
Note: Read the entire instruction manual before beginning installation!
Step A: The enclosed metal bracket (See Figure “A”) needs to be placed between the
headliner of the ehicle and roof. Prior to placement, ensure that there are not any
obstructing items (Sunroof, dome light, any screws etc.) Once you ha e identified a clear
area for the metal bracket and monitor, drill holes that will accommodate the screws between
the monitor and metal plate through the headliner (See Figure “B”). Prior to any drilling,
ensure screws will fit into the metal bracket securely.
*Metal Brace may vary in style
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED!
Front of Vehicle
Match the metal brace to the o erhead LCD screen
to identify the key areas for drilling into the
headliner.
See Below For Illustration of Profile of Vehicle

Step B (Wiring and Final installation)
REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER OF HINGE BEFORE YOU INSTALL LCD MONITOR. With
the ehicle powered off, mount the monitor into place using the pre-drilled holes (Prior to
installation, always check the clearance of the screw lengths to ensure that you do not puncture
the roof).
With the Metal Bracket securely placed, drill small holes to accommodate the wiring cable so
that the Din cable, male end is at the area where the monitor will be installed. Ideally, the hole
for the cable should be drilled in the side areas of the mounting bracket. NOTE: The wires
are fed through both sides of the monitor. The other end of the cables should be run to the
area in which you will ha e your source unit installed (ex. DVD player).
BEFORE DRILLING ANY HOLES, ALIGN THE PLATE AND MONITOR TO ENSURE
PROPER PLACEMENT.
There are two sets of RCA cables (Yellow-Video Signal, White-Audio Left, Red-Audio Right).
This is for A/V Input and output. POWER- Connect the red wire to a fused source that shows +12 olts
when the key is in the accessory position. Attach the black wire to any metal part of the ehicle that is
ground (-12 olts).

Step C:
DOME LIGHT/MAP LIGHT INSTALLATION
Please note that your product includes the following 3-wire:
The color codes are:
Negative trigger: (MOST VEHICLES EXCEPT FORD)
Red Wire= Requires a “Constant” + 12 Volt connection*
Black Wire= Requires a -12 Volt (Ground)
White= -12 Volt Dome Light Trigger
* “Constant” means +12 olt power regardless of the key position, or direct power from the battery.
Positive Trigger: USUALLY MOST FORDS
Please note that a 12 olt relay will be needed. Please contact you professional installation center for
further details or contact our technical support.
This should complete the installation of the LCD Screen.

Pull the YELLOW latch on the left side of LCD monitor (see picture below) and
then swi el the screen down to your iewing angle. Note that the monitor only
locks in the 0° Angle (LCD facing roof).

1. Turn on the O erhead LCD Screen and Source Unit.
2. Tune your FM radio to 87.7
(Or another station around this range.)

geographical area)
