1. Remove the existing headrest from the seat.

2. Adjust the posts of the new headrest to fit the holes in the seat where the
headrest will be installed. The post can be moved together or apart
grasp one post in each hand, move the posts in opposing directions
(like they were walking) while pushing them toward each other or away
from each other.

3. Insert the cable in the proper hole. Insert the posts into the holes in the
seat and carefully work the headrest into position. Make sure the cable
is not pinched.

4. Run the cable down the seat and out to the location of the video source

How to use the Adapter tubes

can vary on different veicles we supply
two adapter tubes. Use these tubes when
the headrest mounting holes in your seat
