On a towel or soft cloth, gently place the monitorassembly “face down” ona stable
worksurface.
Using the wires provided, complete the audio, video and power connections in
your vehicle as shown in the diagram below.
Carefully remove the headrest and set it down
in an uncluttered work are. Take the appropriate
precautions to ensure it is not damaged during
installation.
Push on the headrest with your fingers to make
sure there are no obstructions inside that would
interfere with the installation. After you confirm
that there are no internal obstructions, take the
paper template provide in place, and mark the
area to becut.
Using a sharp, adjustable-depth blade knife,
make a diagonal cut beginning 1/4" INSIDE
from one corner, and ending 1/4" INSIDE from
the opposite corner.
Repeat, cutting diagonally between the two
other corners.
Set the adjustable blade to 1" depth, and cut
around the edges of the hole, staying 1/4"
inside the edge. Pull up one corner of the foam
rectangle, and use the blade to cut underneath
– remove a small section at a time, using the
"pull up and cut" method for uniform depth.
If necessary, use a Dremel tool or other appro-
priate tool to remove any other obstructions
present.
Using a sharp scissors, cut the points offf the
flaps of upholstery material to about 3/4" - 1"
wide.
Route the cable through the opening just cut,
and out the bottom of the headrest. If possible,
conceal the cable using a gear shift covering
or similar.Then fold the four flaps into the
cavity in the headrest.
Slide the trim frame onto the monitor
shroud and slide the assembly into the
cavity in the headrest. As you do this,
feed the cable through the headrest as
shown in the diagram. Secure the shroud
with the three screws as shown.
Connect the RCA cables and the power
cable, and slide the monitor into the
shroud until you feel a click. As you do
so, push the cables into the headrest
shround so they travel into the area behind
the shroud and out below the headrest.
Carefully peelback the upholstery material.

Insert the removal key into the gap
on the right side of the monitor to
depress the tabs to release it.
NOTE: Headrests vary in their construction. Most headrests havea plastic
plate inside into which you can directly attach the mounting screws. However,
in some cases this plate is absent or is too deeply located for attachment. In
this case, you may wish to cut a plate of wood of appropriate thickness and
hot-glue it into place to use as a mounting plate.
