Installation
The HRB100 mounting adapter allows secure
installation of the Directed Video RVM Series
Removable Monitors by installing the mounting
assembly into the vehicle headrest or seatbacks.
The HRB100 will accommodate the Directed Video
5.6”, 6.8”, and 7.0” monitors.
The HRB100 consists of two major pieces: the
receiver bracket and the headrest bucket.
1. Using the supplied template, center the
cut out area on the headrest or seatback
and mark the fabric area to be cut as indicated. With a new razor knife, cut the fabric as marked. Then cut the foam as indicated on the template. Using the knife
remove as much of the foam padding as
necessary to allow clearance of the monitor bucket.
WARNING! Be careful not to remove the headrest fab
ric past the line marked FABRIC CUT LINE.
If the fabric is removed past this line, the
headrest’s inner foam may be visible after
the completed installation.
2. Once the headrest has been marked and
cut to accommodate the monitor bucket
the metal support bar around the inside of
the headrest will be noticeable. The monitor bucket will be secured to this bar.
3. Run the supplied din cable through the
bottom of the headrest. Leave enough
slack in the cable so the headrest still has
full movement during adjustment.
4. Secure the headrest bucket by tying the
supplied zip ties through the mounting
feet and around the metal support bars.
5. The RVM Monitor locks into the receiver
bracket until physically released. The
release mechanism is in the rear of the
bracket.

INSTALLATION WITH
REMOVABLE HEADREST COVER
1. Remove the headrest cover to determine if
it has room in it for the monitor without
structurally weakening it.
2. With the cover still removed, position the
cutout template against the rear of the
headrest and mark the area to be cut out.
3. Remove the material to a depth sufficient
for the lip of the mounting bezel to fit
flush against the rear of the headrest once
installed.
4. Cut an access hole for the cable to exit
next to the headrest adjustment bar.
5. Reinstall the headrest cover. Trim it 1”
smaller than the size of the mounting bucket hole. When trimming, it is best to leave
extra material that can be glued into the
hole before installing the mounting bucket.
6. Route the cable through the headrest
access hole and the rear opening of the
mounting bucket.
7. Install the bucket. Some headrests have
material that is strong enough to screw
the bucket into. Others will require quality
adhesive for mounting or tie straps to
secure it to the metal support bars.
8. Route the cable through the seat cover
and reinstall the headrest. Leave enough
slack in the cable so the headrest still has
full movement during adjustment.
9. Complete the cable routing to the video
source.
INSTALLING THE MONITOR
Place the monitor directly in front of the buck-
et and line up the hot foot connector on the
bracket. Place your thumb on the top and press
firmly until it locks into place. Then place your
thumb on the bottom of the monitor and press
firmly until it locks into place also.
REMOVING THE MONITOR
Pull gently on the lower bracket tab and lift the
monitor to the maximum angle. Reach under the
bracket and pull down on the release tab. With the
monitor released, lift it off the mounting bracket.
