Important Notices
Warnings
Installation of an Overhead Video Systems requires careful planning and
preparation. Be extremely careful when working on a vehicle with side curtain air
bags. Do not route wires near any portion of the side curtain air bag assemblies.
This includes any anchor points in A, B, C or D pillars of the vehicle. Routing wires
in these areas or running wires by the side curtain air bags can prevent the side
curtain air bag from fully deploying which can result in personal injury to vehicle
occupants. If you have any questions regarding wire routing in avehicle, please contact
Voxx Technical Support at 1-800-645-4994.
When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation, ensure 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, games 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, games or DVD
play that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking brake is not
applied must be installed to the rear of the driver's seat where it will not be visible,
directly or indirectly, to the operator of the motor vehicle.
• Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the video monitor.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen.
• Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is dirty.
• Lock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use.
• Before putting on headphones always adjust the volume setting to the lowest position.
• Remember to leave the dome light switch in the off or auto positions when the vehicle
is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can drain the vehicle's battery.
• Do not put pressure directly on the screen as damage may occur. Caution children to
avoid touching or scratching the screen since system malfunction due to physical panel
damage will not be covered under warranty.

Installing the Trim Ring
The trim ring is attached to the System using the perimeter screw bosses. It is important
that the screws used in this installation are not over tightened, and that the video monitor
and trim ring are mounted in such a way that the assembly does not distort (or bend) when
the mounting screws are tightened.
There are two trim ring options for mounting the System. One is to use the supplied trim
ring for all vehicles with at headliners (no contour) or a thick trim ring (optional) that
can be cut to t the contour of a headliner that is not at (see Appendix B of this manual).
NOTE: The trim rings supplied with this unit are not designed to be trimmed.
Installing the Trim Ring
1. Turn the System over on a surface with protective covering to prevent scratches.
2. Place the trim ring onto the System. Align the pins on the trim ring with the holes in
the metal chassis plate.
3. Locate the eight (8) M3 x 5mm screws in the hardware kit.
4. Using a screwdriver, install the eight (8) M3 x 5mm screws into the locations marked “A”
shown in the gure below.

General Vehicle Installation Approach
1. 1. Decide upon the system conguration and peripheral options that will be installed
with the system (ie...optional WM1 - SmartStream Module or HDH12 - 12’ HDMI/USB
extension harness for remote connectivity of Smartphones or SmartTV devices).
2. Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and connections.
3. Decide upon mounting locations of all components and method of mounting.
4. Prep the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to vehicle’s
wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will need to be located.
If any access holes need to be cut into the vehicle (headliner, other trim components
etc.), this should be done now as well.
5. Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary including
the wiring for any additional peripheral devices being added to this system.
Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a
manner that wiring is not pinched when all components and interior trim are
reinstalled. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring for each component to
allow working room. Avoid routing wiring near or over airbag wiring or airbags.
6. Remove all System components from their packaging and place them loosely in the
vehicle at their respective locations.
7. Connect all components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of all
system functions.
Note: Testing of the system is best performed BEFORE the System is mounted to the
supplied bracket and BEFORE any optional accessories are permanently mounted.
8. After verifying proper operation of the system proceed to mount each component.
9. When all components are mounted recheck the function of the entire system again to
ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during nal installation.

13
Vehicle Preparation
1. Locate an accessory +12v power source with a good ground. These wires can be found
at the ignition switch or fuse-box.
Power Source
• +12v when the key is in the ACC and RUN positions.
• 0v when the key is OFF.
NOTE: Always fuse the ACC +12V at the source where it is connected to the vehicle.
2. Some vehicles come equipped with a factory option that places the vehicle in
an“Environmental Friendly” mode that shuts down the engine temporarily when
the vehicle is not in motion. This may cause this Vehicle Entertainment System to
shut down depending on the operating voltage of the vehicle when in this mode.
Please note that this system must be connected to a stable ACC +12V power feed.
Any voltage supplied to this unit less than +12V could result in performance issues
or system shutdown. This is not a defect so take precaution if in fact the vehicle for
which this Vehicle Entertainment System is installed has this factory option.
3. The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, The only focus
of this manual is to provide proper installation guidance for this system.
4. Generally, the best location for the video monitor is where the vehicle’s factory dome
light is installed. The monitor should be located in such a manner that it can be
comfortably viewed by rear seat passengers.
NOTE: Never install the monitor in a place within the driver’s view. This is not only
dangerous, but it is also illegal in many states.
5. OncethemountinglocationoftheSystemhasbeendetermined,additionalpreparation
work may be necessary depending on the vehicle structure and installation method.
Some of the steps that may be required are:
a. Removal of the vehicle’s dome light.
b. Cutting an opening in the headliner to install the mounting bracket.
c. If the optional Thick Trim Ring will be used, it may have to be trimmed to t the
contour of the vehicle’s headliner. Refer to Appendix B Installing the Optional Thick
Trim Ring.

14
Connecting the Dome Lights
The dome lights in the System require three connections to the vehicle’s wiring. There
are two common types of dome light circuits used, positive switched systems or negative
switched systems. Positive switched systems supply voltage to the dome lights to turn
them ON. Negative switched systems apply ground to turn on the dome lights.
To determine which system you have, locate the wires at the dome light:
• On a positive switched system, with all the doors closed and the lights out, both wires
at the dome light will rest at ground. When the light is activated, one of these wires
will switch to +12 VDC. This is the vehicle’s switching wire Lamp auto.
• On a negative switched system, with all the doors closed and the lights out, both
wires at the dome light will rest at +12 VDC. When the light is activated, one of these
wires will switch to ground. This is the vehicle’s switching wire Lamp auto.
For positive switched systems, connect the Purple / Brown (Lamp Auto) wire to the vehicle’s
switched wire. Then connect the Red / Black (Lamp ON) wire to a fused constant 12 volt
source and the Black / Red (Lamp Common) wire to a good ground. Positive switched
systems are commonly found on Ford vehicles.
For negative switched systems, connect the Purple / Brown (Lamp Auto) wire to the
vehicle’s switched wire. Then connect the Red / Black (Lamp On) wire to a good ground
and the Black / Red (Lamp Common) wire to a fused constant 12 volt source. Negative
switched systems are commonly found on General Motors and import vehicles.
NOTE: Some vehicles which incorporate transistorized control of the dome light circuit,
may require that the Purple / brown (Lamp Auto) wire be connected to the door pin switch
wire , as the additional current draw of the monitor’s lights may not be supported by the
output of the vehicle’s body control computer.
After wiring the dome lights, make sure the dome lights operate properly with doors
opening and closing and that they are not always on. Do n ot leave the dome lamp
switch on the DVD overhead in ON position as this will drain the battery over time.
