Installation
To properly install the Prosecutor 2000 System, please read and perform each of the following steps in order.
Preparation
Disconnect the car battery cables. Remove the lower half of the rear seat. Remove the kick panel and trim strips on
front and rear passenger side of the car. Remove or loosen the lower half of the trim on the door post between the front
and the rear door enough to get cables under.
Camera Mount
Remove the mount foot from the camera mount. If you are using a windshield mounted camera, mount the foot to the
window by following the directions on the included adhesive package, making sure to follow the instructions exactly.
If you are not mounting the camera to the windshield, follow the directions on the adhesive package and mount the foot
in the desired location, paying special attention not to obstruct air bag deployment. Allow adhesive to set until the end
of the installation before mounting the camera.
LED
The LED wire connection will hook into the rear of the Control head. Place the LED cable somewhere on the front
dashboard, making the LED end visible outside the front windshield of the vehicle. (On the driver side of the
windshield is recommended. This way the cable can be placed up the side panel and run across the edge of the
headliner to the rear connection of the control head.)
Trunk Unit Mount
Place the unit in the desired location of the trunk. Make sure that the unit can be unlocked and opened easily, and
tapes can be loaded and ejected conveniently.
Checking accessibility of vault and
tape insertion
Unlock the unit and remove the base plate. Pay attention to the location of the gas tank. If this is a Crown Victoria
installation, use the mounting brackets.
Note: If the unit is going to be mounted on the shelf next to the spare tire, special care must be taken to avoid drilling
into the gas tank and the mounting brackets must be used.

Connect the Control Console cable , rear Camera and
Mic cable, Antenna cable and the Power cable to the
rear of the vault. Bundle the cables to create a service
loop so that the vault can easily be unlocked, removed
from the base plate and cables disconnected.
Attaching the cables to the
rear of the vault.
Control Console
Remove the control head mounting plate from the control console (4 screws on front). Remove the sun visors inner
attachments (closest to the rear view mirror).Position the control
mounting plate between the sun visors such that when the control
box is attached, the monitor can be viewed from driver’s position.
Align the hole over the sun visor’s inner attachment holes and reinstall the sun visor attachments, making sure the control head mounting plate is captured by the attachments. If additional support is
desired (requires making holes in headliner), 3/4 inch self-drilling
screws can be used to attach the mounting plate to the secondary
metal under the headliner. Wait to mount the control box until the
end of the installation.
Note: If you have a ticket light (round light) added to your vehicle, you
have to use the ticket light adapter.
Attaching the Control head mounting plate
To determine wether or not you need the ticket light adapter, position the control box behind the light. You should
have at least 2 inches between the control box and window, but still be able to get to the monitor controls on top of the
control box. Most Ford Crown Victoria’s will not need this, most Chevy Caprices will.
between the sun visors.
Antenna Mount
This is a common lip antenna. Position the antenna at the desired location on top of the trunk. For mounting see the
instructions enclosed with the antenna.
Note: If the Radio Frequency Interface is significant, a permanent 1/4 inch wave VHF antenna may be needed to
mount through the fender of trunk.
Rear Camera & Microphone
Position the camera and microphone to the desired location at the rear of the vehicle. For mounting, see the
instructions enclosed with the Rear Camera.
Interface Cable
This is the gray cable with a 4-pin connector on one end and the orange, black, blue, and white wires on the other end.
Route the interface cable from the control head to the fuse box. Start at the center of the headliner, to the driver side
of the central cable, leaving about 4 inches of the 4 pin plug end of the cable hanging down. Route across, under edge
of the headliner, down the door to the fuse box. Attach the orange wire to switched 12 V. Extend white wire to the
light box wire that gets 12 V when the overhead lights are activated. Attach the blue wire (+) and the black wire () to the siren. If the siren is AC instead of DC, you can use the same connections.
Note: For AC-The Blue wire is Hot, the Black wire is Neutral.
DB-25 Control Cable
This is the 25 foot DB-25 male to DB-25 male cable. Connect one side of the cable to the control head and other to
the vault. Route the cable through the backseat to the front of the car, up the front door post, along the front edge of
the headliner, to the middle of car. Leave about 4 inches hanging from the headliner. (Pictures of cables being routed
located on next page with Power Cable routing)
12
Power Cable
This is the gray cable with red and black wires on one end and a 4 pin connector on the other end. Verify the 4-pin
connector is connected to the vault in the trunk. Route the cable through the rear seat panel, under the back seat and
carpet, to the battery area of the car (routing through the firewall to the battery is preferred). Secure the red wire to +12
V (through the firewall to the battery is the best way). Connect the black wire to chassis ground.

Final Assembly
Attach the front camera to the camera mount and attach the camera cable to the control box. Also, attach the control
cable , interface cable and LED cable to the control box. Securing the cables out of sight in the headliner, mount the
control box to the back plate using the 2 screws that were previously removed. Secure vault to base plate and lock in
place. Verify cables are properly routed and are not pinched or in a bind.
