12.1” OVERHEAD LCD MONITOR

WITH DVD PLAYER

Installation Guide

Important Notice

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.

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 Technical 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.

Important Note

The VOD129 incorporates two new features:

1) A wireless FM Modulator

2) Snap on Covers with matching Trim Rings (Shale and Pewter).

Select the color that matches the interior trim.

Please be advised that the wireless FM modulator will perform well in most applications. However, in certain applications the quality of the wireless signal may be less than optimal, resulting in static or strong local station bleed thru. If this is the case, an optional relay box is available. The Audiovox part number is SIRSWB and it plugs into the 1/8" jack located next to the FM antenna on the side of the chassis. This relay box is installed between the vehicle antenna and the car radio to provide the best possible FM reception of the DVD player audio. When the SIRSWB is installed it is recommended that the wireless FM antenna that is plugged into the printed circuit board next to the 3.5mm jack be unplugged.
