INSTALLATION

The unit has threaded holes in the chassis side panels which may be used with the original factory mounting brackets of some Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Hyundai and Honda vehicles to mount the computer to the dashboard. Please consult with your local car stereo specialty shop for assistance on this type of installation.

1. Remove the existing factory radio from the dashboard or center console mounting. Save all hardware and brackets as they will be used to mount the new computer.

2. Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the existing radio and attach them to the new computer.

AVDINPC

4. Connect your monitor (purchased separately) and install any software/ drivers supplied with the monitor. Follow the instructions included with the monitor to mount the monitor in the vehicle.

NOTE: A PS/2 mouse is required for installing any drivers during initial setup. DO NOT MOUNT the unit to the dashboard until initial setup is complete and software is installed.

5. Mount the new computer assembly to the dashboard or center console using the reverse procedure in step 1.

CAUTION: Do not exceed M5 X 6 MM screw size. Longer screws may touch and damage components inside the chassis.

3. Place the computer in front of the dashbo ard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape. After completing the wiring conne ctions, plug the connector into the mating socket on the rear of the chassis and turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition switch must be “on”). If the unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected.

CAUTION: For proper operation of the DVD player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation.

18. CONSTANT POWER WIRE (yellow) – Connect the 12V PLUS constant power wire to a live 12 volt wire in the vehicle. Before making a connection, check that the wire you intend to connect it to is always live, even when the car’s ignition is turned of f. If a live wire is not found, route the wire to the car’s fuse block and connect it to a live circuit there.

19. GROUND WIRE (black) – Securely fasten the Ground wire to a grounded metal part of the car’s chassis. If you cannot find an existing bolt or screw to fasten it to, drill a hole in the metal and secure it with a screw. To ensure a good ground, remove any paint or gr ease fr om areas wher e the wire will contact the surface.

20. INLINE FUSE (red) – When running the red ACC Power wire directly to the battery, the inline fuse MUST battery (within 18” of the battery). If the ACC Power wire is connected to the fuse block, the inline fuse is not required.
