VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1) Decide on the system configuration and the options that will be installed (i.e.what components,
VCP, DVD, TV Tuner , Video Game, Monitor , FM Modulator , etc.).
2) Read the manuals and get familiar with the electrical requirements and connections.
3) Decide on the mounting locations and methods of mounting the products.
4) Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to the vehicle's wiring as
well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will be located. If any access holes need to
be cut into the vehicle, headrests, or other trim components, this should be performed now. (Refer to
the Installation Procedure).
5) Run the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagram on
page 7, as well as the wiring instructions for the individual components and accessory options being
installed). Be sure, that all the wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner
that it will not be pinched, when it is fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at each
component to allow sufficient working room.
6) Remove all the A/V system components from their packaging and then place them in the vehicle at
their respective locations.
7) Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify the proper operation of all the system
functions. NOTE: This is best done BEFORE the components are permanently mounted.
8) After verifying the proper operation of the system, proceed to mount each component.
9) When all the components are mounted, recheck the function of the entire system to be sure it is
functioning correctly . Make sure that no wiring was pinched, or connected improperly during the final
installation.
10)Locate the following: an accessory power source (+12VDC present when the ignition key is in the
accessory and run positions). 0VDC should be present, when the ignition key is in the OFF position.
A constant power source (+12VDC present at all times). Generally , these wires can be found at the
ignition switch or fusebox. (NOTE: Ensure that the power leads are fused at the source. Failure to do
so may result in vehicle wiring damage.) Ground the black wire to a chassis ground close to the
mounting location of A V sources.
1 1) The mounting method, and the location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus
for the installation of the LCM500NP Monitor in the supplied configuration.
12)The best location for the LCM500NP System components are:
a) Monitor : Headrest
b) Interconnection Box: Under either seat where monitors are located.
