1) Left RCA Out: Hook-up for the left audio out (white male RCA jack)
2) Right RCA Out: Hook-up for the right audio out (red male RCA jack)
3) Power Harness Connection: This plug connects to the power harness mating plug
4) Optional Headphone Connections: Green is right positive, Gray is left positive and Black is
the ground
5) Antenna Connections: This connects to the antenna if applicable.
6) DIN Connectors: The source component harness (P/N 8010730) connects here. A cable tie
will mount through holes provided in PCB, and is recommended for wire strain relief. A
second component harness is needed to utilize both mini-din connectors.
Front Button Panel Features:
1) Power: This button turns LCM1210FD on and off. Dimly lit when in stand-by mode
2) Channel ∆ ∇: Pressing ∆ will select channels higher and pressing ∇ will select channels
lower than current channel.
3) Volume ∆ ∇: Pressing ∆ will raise the volume and pressing ∇ will lower the volume.
4) Select: Each press of this button selects the next source (1-3). Note that some sources
produce an image, depending upon whether components are connected to all sources.
5) Latch: Sliding this latch forward will release the 12.1” monitor to drop into playing position.
6) AP: Places the tuner in auto-program mode. Auto program will scan all channels available
and store active channels into memory for easy selection with the channel up/down buttons.
7) Bright ∆ ∇: Pressing this button ∆ will increase monitor brightness, and pressing this button ∇
will decrease monitor brightness.
8) Contrast ∆ ∇: Pressing this button ∆ will increase picture contrast, and pressing this button ∇
will decrease contrast.
9) Color ∆ ∇: Pressing this button ∆ will increase color separation and pressing this button ∇ will
decrease color separation.

General Installation Approach:
1) Before beginning installation, please refer to warning on page 10.
2) Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (ie: what components,
VCP, remote headphones, 2nd VCP, etc).
3) Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and hook ups.
4) Decide upon mounting locations of all components and method of mounting.
5) Prep the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to vehicle power
hook up point 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. Refer to page 4.
6) Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the wiring
diagram on pages 5 and 6 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.
7) Remove all A/V system components from their packaging and place them loosely in the
vehicle at their respective locations.
8) Connect all components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of all system
functions. NOTE: This is best done both BEFORE and AFTER all components have been
permanently mounted.
9) After verifying proper operation of the system, proceed with mounting of each component.
10) 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:
- Connecting to both the Wireless Headphones IR Transmitter and an FM Modulator will
require an additional RCA Adapter (P/N 0892165).
- One dual RCA Patch Cord is needed to connect the TV/Monitor to the Wireless Headphone
IR Transmitter. Available in two lengths: 3 Ft. (P/N 0892351) and 12 Ft. (P/N 0892353).
- One dual RCA Patch Cord is needed to connect the TV/Monitor to the FM Modulator, and is
included in the FM Modulator package (P/N 0190730).
- For audio output, there are a few scenarios that may apply to your system:
a) Remote headphone jacks may be added and located throughout the vehicle.
b) Additional speakers and amplifiers may be added throughout the vehicle.

Vehicle Preparation:
1) Locate vehicle power source. Generally this is best found near the vehicle’s fuse block,
which is usually (though not always) under the steering wheel area. Locate an accessory hot
circuit to tap into video system power. Accessory hot means a circuit that is +12VDC when
the ignition key is in either the “ACC’Y” or “Run” positions, and 0 volts DC when the ignition
key is removed from the vehicle.
2) Mounting location and method for the individual components will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
This manual will only focus on the installation of the video pod itself and related console
accessories.
3) Generally, the best location for the video pod itself is where the vehicle’s dome light is
traditionally installed (center of roof, just behind the two front seats). The pod should NEVER
be located in a position that would place it within the driver’s field of view. This is not only
hazardous for driving conditions (as it creates a distraction to the driver), but it is against the
law in many states. Check your state laws.
4) Once the pod location has been determined, there may be prep work required for the
headliner. See mounting detail below for headliner cutout dimensions and hole locations.
