GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH:

1) Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, VCP, RF Modulator/external amp, remote headphone, 2nd VCP, 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. (Refer to Page 3).

5) Route the wiring harnesses through out the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagrams on page 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.

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 function of entire system again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during final installation.

GENERAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:

The following is intended to give a rough guideline of system configuration that are possible with the VOH560PKG Drop Down Video System:

System : Video Monitor without tuner (VOH560), VCP (A VP756).

-All wiring necessary is included with this package.

-Headphone is connected into the headphone jack on the monitor itself.

Notes:

-There are a few audio output options that can be added as follows:

a) Additional speakers can be added to a VOH560 using the speaker outputs. Refer to the wiring

diagram on page 6.

-The VOH560 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 a constant power source (+12v at all times) and an accessory power source (+12v when key is in the acc. and run positions, and 0v when key is off). Generally, these wires can be found at the ignition switch or fusebox.

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 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, 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 as per the drawing below C) If the mini-console (P/N 102D3595) will be used, it will have to be trimmed to fit the

contour of the vehicle's headliner. Refer to the "Mini-Console installation" section later in this manual.

Note:

If your installation will require you to cut out the headliner, the box that this kit came in can be used as a template. You can remove the shelf that the video monitor rests on and trace the opening onto the headliner for cutting

FULL SIZE CONSOLE INSTALLATION

There are several “full size” custom consoles available for selected vehicles. Some of these vehicles are the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition, and Dodge Durango. These full size consoles incorporate several additional features, and are particularly useful if the vehicle you are installing this system into already has an OEM overhead console in the headliner. Refer to the installation manual that comes with the console itself for complete installation instructions.

MINI CONSOLE INSTALLATION:

This page only covers special installation considerations for the mini console installation. If the video monitor is to be installed with a custom full sized overhead console, refer to page 3. If the video monitor is to be installed in a vehicle with the mini console (P/N 102D3595), this console may need to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle headliner.

1) In this installation, the video monitor is mounted directly to the overhead crossmember in the roof using the mounting screw bosses. These screw bosses should contact the crossmember directly (i.e.: no gap between the screw boss and the roof structure). Also, be sure that the screws do not pierce the outer roof skin when fully fastened to the crossmember. The mini console is attached to the video monitor using the perimeter screw bosses. It is important that the screws used in this installation are not overtightened, and that the video monitor and mini console are mounted in such a way that the assembly does not distort (or bend) when the mounting screws are tightened. An alternate method is to use a piece of plywood (5"x9"x3/4"). First secure the plywood block to the crossmember, then screw the monitor into the plywood. See the drawing on page 5.

2) It is best to mount the video monitor to the roof structure without the mini console first. There should be a gap between the headliner and the outer flange of the video monitor. The mini console should be cut to full this gap. Apply masking tape to the outer surface of the mini console in the areas where the cut will be made.

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

A) First mark the narrowest point of the mini console 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 mini console. Trace the cut to be made around the entire perimeter of the mini console.

C) Cut the mini console 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.

D) Check the fit of the trimmed console and make any minor adjustments necessary.

4) The mini console can be painted or covered with a material that matches the headliner before assembling the mini console to video monitor.

5) The finished mini console should be attached to the video monitor, then attach the assembly to the roof.
