Installation

To properly install the Prosecutor 2000 System, please read and perform each of the following steps in order.

Preparation

Disconnect the car battery cables. Remove the lower half of the rear seat. Remove the kick panel and trim strips on

front and rear passenger side of the car. Remove or loosen the lower half of the trim on the door post between the front

and the rear door enough to get cables under.

Camera Mount

Remove the mount foot from the camera mount. If you are using a windshield mounted camera, mount the foot to the

window by following the directions on the included adhesive package, making sure to follow the instructions exactly.

If you are not mounting the camera to the windshield, follow the directions on the adhesive package and mount the foot

in the desired location, paying special attention not to obstruct air bag deployment. Allow adhesive to set until the end

of the installation before mounting the camera.

LED

The LED wire connection will hook into the rear of the Control head. Place the LED cable somewhere on the front

dashboard, making the LED end visible outside the front windshield of the vehicle. (On the driver side of the

windshield is recommended. This way the cable can be placed up the side panel and run across the edge of the

headliner to the rear connection of the control head.)

Trunk Unit Mount

Place the unit in the desired location of the trunk. Make sure that the unit can be unlocked and opened easily, and

tapes can be loaded and ejected conveniently.

Unlock the unit and remove the base plate. Pay attention to the location of the gas tank. If this is a Crown Victoria

installation, use the mounting brackets.

Note: If the unit is going to be mounted on the shelf next to the spare tire, special care must be taken to avoid drilling

into the gas tank and the mounting brackets must be used.

Trunk Mounting Cont.

Connect the Control Console cable , rear Camera and

Mic cable, Antenna cable and the Power cable to the

rear of the vault. Bundle the cables to create a service

loop so that the vault can easily be unlocked, removed

from the base plate and cables disconnected.

Control Console

Remove the control head mounting plate from the control console (4 screws on front). Remove the sun visors inner

attachments (closest to the rear view mirror).Position the control

mounting plate between the sun visors such that when the control

box is attached, the monitor can be viewed from driver’s position.

Align the hole over the sun visor’s inner attachment holes and rein-

stall the sun visor attachments, making sure the control head moun-

ting plate is captured by the attachments. If additional support is

desired (requires making holes in headliner), 3/4 inch self-drilling

screws can be used to attach the mounting plate to the secondary

metal under the headliner. Wait to mount the control box until the

end of the installation.

Note: If you have a ticket light (round light) added to your vehicle, you

have to use the ticket light adapter.

To determine wether or not you need the ticket light adapter, position the control box behind the light. You should

have at least 2 inches between the control box and window, but still be able to get to the monitor controls on top of the

control box. Most Ford Crown Victoria’s will not need this, most Chevy Caprices will.

Antenna Mount

This is a common lip antenna. Position the antenna at the desired location on top of the trunk. For mounting see the

instructions enclosed with the antenna.

Note: If the Radio Frequency Interface is significant, a permanent 1/4 inch wave VHF antenna may be needed to

mount through the fender of trunk.

Rear Camera & Microphone

Position the camera and microphone to the desired location at the rear of the vehicle. For mounting, see the

instructions enclosed with the Rear Camera.

Interface Cable

This is the gray cable with a 4-pin connector on one end and the orange, black, blue, and white wires on the other end.

Route the interface cable from the control head to the fuse box. Start at the center of the headliner, to the driver side

of the central cable, leaving about 4 inches of the 4 pin plug end of the cable hanging down. Route across, under edge

of the headliner, down the door to the fuse box. Attach the orange wire to switched 12 V. Extend white wire to the

light box wire that gets 12 V when the overhead lights are activated. Attach the blue wire (+) and the black wire (-

) to the siren. If the siren is AC instead of DC, you can use the same connections.

Note: For AC-The Blue wire is Hot, the Black wire is Neutral.

DB-25 Control Cable

This is the 25 foot DB-25 male to DB-25 male cable. Connect one side of the cable to the control head and other to

the vault. Route the cable through the backseat to the front of the car, up the front door post, along the front edge of

the headliner, to the middle of car. Leave about 4 inches hanging from the headliner. (Pictures of cables being routed

located on next page with Power Cable routing)

Attaching the Control head mounting plate

between the sun visors.

Attaching the cables to the

rear of the vault.

Power Cable

This is the gray cable with red and black wires on one end and a 4 pin connector on the other end. Verify the 4-pin

connector is connected to the vault in the trunk. Route the cable through the rear seat panel, under the back seat and

carpet, to the battery area of the car (routing through the firewall to the battery is preferred). Secure the red wire to +12

V (through the firewall to the battery is the best way). Connect the black wire to chassis ground.

Final Assembly

Attach the front camera to the camera mount and attach the camera cable to the control box. Also, attach the control

cable , interface cable and LED cable to the control box. Securing the cables out of sight in the headliner, mount the

control box to the back plate using the 2 screws that were previously removed. Secure vault to base plate and lock in

place. Verify cables are properly routed and are not pinched or in a bind.

Reinstall previously removed panel, trim, seats and other hardware. Reconnect car battery cables.

Power up the system

Attach completing the installation assembly, turn on the volume/monitor control switch. If the light on the POWER

does not turn on, check all the system connections and fuse in the power cable near the car battery. If the “POWER”

light is illuminated on the control console, the system can be turned on by using one of the following methods:

Control console activation - Press the “POWER” button on the control console.

Microphone activation - Place the remote microphone transmitter power switch in the “ON” position. The green LED

will illuminate on the microphone transmitter and the system will be powered up.

Power up the wireless receiver

The audio receiver powers up automatically when the power cable is connected to the battery and the control cable is

connected to the control console.
