1. Identify the polarity of the dome light circuit and set the switch on the cable connection side
of the overhead monitor housing to match the vehicle’s door trigger polarity. Factory default posi-
tion for this switch is Negative. This switch is marked with the following instruction label.
2. Test fit the overhead monitor system on the ceiling of the vehicle, verifying it is not going to
interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle and is physically safe for the driver and passenger(s).
3. Once the mounting location of the overhead monitor system has been determined, carefully
mark the location with masking tape.
4. Lower the vehicle's headliner down to see if a roof support beam is available to screw the
mounting bracket to. If a support beam is not available to screw into, use a ¾" piece of plywood
cut to the appropriate size. Attach the plywood to the roof of the vehicle using silicone allowing
adequate drying time before proceeding.
5. Screw the mounting bracket in the vehicle.

6. Cut a 1" hole in the headliner along the backside of the mounting bracket for the cables to
pass through.
7. Route cables through the hole to the predetermined location of the AV source(s).
8. Identify the dome light wires in the vehicle and connect them to the corresponding dome light
wires on the overhead monitor system. Ensure the domelight switch is in the correct position.
9. Plug in the AV, DIN, dome light, and power cables into the overhead monitor system.
10. Carefully hold the overhead monitor system to the mounting bracket aligning the mounting
holes while screwing in the screws. (Make sure the wires and cables are not in the way while mount-
ing the monitor).
11. Ground the Black wire of the power cable to a clean ground spot.
12. Connect the Yellow wire of the power cable to the battery positive terminal.
13. Connect the Red wire of the power cable to the Accessory wire in the ignition harness.
NNOOTTEE::
Make sure you keep the ground wire of the monitor and video source as short
as possible to prevent unwanted audio noise pickup from the vehicle’s systems.
