GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH:

1)Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, VCP, Tuner, RF Modulator/external amp, remote headphones, DVD, etc.).

2)Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and hook ups.

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. (Refer to the Wiring Diagrams on page 10 of this manual as well as the wiring instructions for the individual components and accessory options being installed). Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner that it will not be pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow working room.

6)Remove all A/V 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: This is best done BEFORE components have been permanently mounted.

8)After verifying proper operation of the system, proceed to mount each of the components.

9)When all components are mounted, recheck function of entire system again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during final installation.

Notes :The MMD70 video system is only intended for an overhead, drop down installation. It is not intended for seat back or any other type of mounting. The hinging mechanism is designed for horizontal, drop down use only.

VEHICLE PREPARATION:

1)Locate an accessory power source (+12v when key is in the ACC. and run positions, and 0v when key is off). Generally, this wire can be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box.

2)The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus on the installation of the video monitor and related console accessories.

3)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. NEVER INSTALL THE MONITOR IN A PLACE WITHIN THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS, BUT IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL.

4)Once the mounting location of the monitor has been determined, there may be additional preparation work 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)The headliner may need to be trimmed.

1)Make the connections to the vehicle with the 5 pin wiring harness.

2)Connect the 5 pin harness to the mating connector on the Video Monitor.

3)Connect power harness to vehicle's electrical system by tapping into an accessory hot line.

4)Verify all functions of the system before final mounting of the finished assembly.

NOTE: A VCP or other A/V Component can be connected to the video monitor system using an RCA A/V cable. This second harness would plug into the AV1 inputs or AUX jack.
