Important Notices
Installation of overhead products requires careful planning and preparation. Be
extremely careful when working on a vehicle with side curtain air bags. Do not
route wires near any portion of the side curtain air bag assemblies. This includes
any anchor points in A, B, C or D pillars of the vehicle. Routing wires in these
areas or running wires by the side curtain air bags can prevent the side curtain air
bag from fully deploying which can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants.
If you have any questions regarding wire routing in a vehicle, please contact
Audiovox T echnical Support at 1-800-225-6074.
When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation ensure that the
ACC wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle ACC wiring.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops
between the vehicle connection point and the mobile video product.
An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible
to the driver if the LCD panel or video monitor is used for vehicle information,
system control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD panel or video
monitor is used for television reception, video or DVD play , the LCD panel or video
monitor must be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in "park" or when the vehicle's parking brake is applied.
An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play
that operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking brake is not applied
must be installed to the rear of the driver's seat where it will not be visible, directly
or indirectly , to the operator of the motor vehicle.

D. Installation and Powering
TOOLS REQUIRED:
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
#1 Phillips Screwdriver
Utility or Razor Knife or Shears
Wire Strippers
Upholstery hook tool (for removal of panels as necessary)
Electrical Tape
Masking T ape
Multimeter (to verify 12 volt DC and continuity: Do not use a test light
or logic probe)
Marker pen – to mark headliner
Scribe (to mark trim ring if used)
Misc. electrical connectors (to connect to vehicle power source).
Requirements will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
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.
6
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.
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with Side Curtain Air Bags, do not
run wires in the vacinity of the Side Curtain Air Bags.
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 the entire system again
to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during final installation.

Note: The MMD100 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 INST ALL 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.
