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 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 question regarding routing in a vehicle, please contact
Audiovox Technical support at 1-800-225-6074.

An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle
and visible to the driver only 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 and/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 seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly, to the
operator of the motor vehicle.

*** Important Notices***

When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation,
insure that the ACC wire is fused at the point where it is connected
to the vehicle’s 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.

When installing this overhead monitor there should be no
obstructions such as extra cabling, power chokes or any other
objects placed between this overhead and supplied mounting
bracket. Failure to comply may cause damage to the overhead
monitor and will void the warranty.

WARNINGS

• Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the
video monitor.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, they may scratch the screen.

• Use only lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is
dirty.

• Lock the LCD screen in fully closed position when not in use.

• Before putting on headphones, always adjust the volume setting to
OFF or lowest position.

• Remember to leave the dome light switch in the o or auto position
when the vehicle is unattended, as the dome lights, if left on, can
drain the vehicle battery.

• Do not put pressure on the screen.

• Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it
may become dirty or damaged.

Safety Precautions

For safety reasons, when changing video media, it is recommended
that the vehicle is not in motion, and that you do not allow children to
unfasten seat-belts to change video media or make any adjustments
to the system. System adjustments can be accomplished using the
remote control, while seat-belts remain fastened. Enjoy your Audiovox
entertainment system but remember that the safety of all passengers
remains the number one priority.

The VODDLX10 incorporates three new features:

1)A wireless FM Modulator

2) Snap on Covers with matching Trim Rings (Black, Shale and

Pewter). Select the color that matches the interior trim.

3)Switchable M1/M2 modes (See page 3)

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 through.

GENERAL VEHICLE INSTALLATION APPROACH

1. Decide upon system conguration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, Video Game, external amp.).

2. Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and connections.

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.

5. Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagrams on page 14 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 wiring is not 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. Avoid routing wiring near or over airbag wiring or airbags.

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 component.

9. When all components are mounted recheck the function of the entire system again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected
improperly during nal installation.

9

VEHICLE PREPARATION

1. Locate an accessory +12v power source with a good ground. These wires can be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box.

Power Source

• +12v when the key is in the ACC. and run positions.

• 0v when the key is OFF.

NOTE: Always fuse the ACC +12V at the source where it is connected to the vehicle.

2. The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, the only focus of this manual is the installation of the VODDLX10.

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.

NOTE: Never install the monitor in a place within the driver’s view. This is not only dangerous, but it is also illegal in many states.

4. Once the mounting location of the monitor has been determined, additional preparation work may be 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. Cutting an opening in the headliner to install the mounting bracket.

c. If the optional Thick Trim Ring will be used, it may have to be trimmed to t the contour of the vehicle’s headliner. Refer to Appendix B

Installing the Optional Thick Trim Ring.

10

CONNECTING THE DOME LIGHTS

The dome lights in the video monitor require three connections to the vehicle’s wiring. There are two common types of dome light circuits used,
positive switched systems or negative switched systems. Positive switched systems supply voltage to the interior lights to turn ON; negative
switched systems apply ground to illuminate the bulbs.

To determine which system you have to locate the wires at the dome light:

• On a positive switched system, with all the doors closed and the lights out, both wires at the dome light will rest at ground. When the light is
activated, one of these wires will switch to +12 VDC. This is the vehicle’s switching wire.

• On a negative switched system, with all the doors closed and the lights out, both wires at the dome light will rest at +12 VDC. When the light
is activated, one of these wires will switch to ground. This is the vehicle’s switching wire.

For positive switched systems, connect the Purple / Brown (Lamp Auto) wire to the vehicle’s switched wire. Then connect the Red / Black (Lamp
ON) wire to a fused constant 12 volt source and the Black / Red (Lamp Common) wire to a good ground. Positive switched systems are commonly
found on Ford vehicles.

For negative switched systems, connect the Purple / Brown (Lamp Auto) wire to the vehicle’s switched wire. Then connect the Red / Black (Lamp
On) wire to a good ground and the Black / Red (Lamp Common) wire to a fused constant 12 volt source. Negative switched systems are commonly
found on General Motors and import vehicles.

NOTE: Some vehicles which incorporate transistorized control of the dome light circuit, such as the 1999 Dodge Caravan, may require that the
Purple / brown (Lamp Auto) wire be connected to the door pin switch wire, as the additional current draw of the monitor’s lights may not be
supported by the output of the vehicle’s body control computer.

After wiring the dome lights make sure the dome lights operate properly with doors opening and closing and that they are not always
on. Do not leave the dome lamp switch on the DVD overhead in ON position as this will drain the battery over time.

APPENDIX B INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL THICK TRIM RING

This page only covers special installation considerations for the optional thick trim ring installation. If the video monitor is to be installed in a
vehicle with the thick trim ring, it may need to be trimmed to t the contour of the vehicle Headliner.

Important NOTES before installing the thick trim ring:

• There should be a gap between the headliner and the outer ange of the video monitor.

• The trim ring should be cut to ll this gap.

1. Apply masking tape to the outside of the thick trim ring.

2. Mark the cut line to follow the necessary contour of the roof.
The suggested method of marking is as follows:

a. First mark the narrowest point of the trim ring on the

masking tape. Be careful to consider not only vertical
location, but fore-aft location.

b. Using the handle of a screwdriver, make a “transfer marking

tool”. See diagram below. Place the tool against the roof
and the marker against the masking tape on the trim ring.
Trace the cut to be made around the entire perimeter of
the trim ring.

3. Cut the trim ring using a sharp utility knife or shears. Make the
cut in several passes over the marked line, each time cutting a
little deeper. It is not necessary to cut completely through the
plastic, the cut only need be over 50% of the wall thickness of
the plastic. By bending the cut back and forth several times,
the plastic will break cleanly at the cut.

4. Check the t of the trimmed console and make any minor
adjustments necessary.
