Important Notices
Installation of headrest products requires careful planning and preparation. Be
extremely careful with seats that have airbags built into them. Keep wiring away from
any air bag wiring (usually identified by yellow connectors and yellow wire jackets).
Damage to air bag wiring can result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. If you have
any questions regarding wire routing or installation in a vehicle, please contact VOXX
Electronics Technical Support at 1-800-225-6074.
When connecting power and ground in a mobile video installation, insure that the ACC
wire is fused at the point where it is connected to the vehicle ACC wiring. Failure to do
so can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the vehicle
connection point and the mobile video product.
An LCD panel and/or video monitor may be installed in a motor vehicle and visible to
the driver if the LCD panel or video monitor is used for vehicle information, system
control, rear or side observation or navigation. If the LCD panel or video monitor is
used for television reception, video or DVD play, the LCD panel or video monitor must
be installed so that these features will only function when the vehicle is in “park” or
when the vehicle’s parking brake is applied.
An LCD panel or video monitor used for television reception, video or DVD play that
operates when the vehicle is in gear or when the parking is not applied must be
installed to the rear of the driver’s seat where it will not be visible, directly or indirectly,
to the operator of the motor vehicle.

1. Decide on the system configuration and the options that will be installed.
Installation - Vehicle Preparation
2. Read the manual and get familiar with the electrical requirements and connections.
3. Decide on the mounting locations and methods of mounting the products that will be
connected to the AVXMTGHR9HD system.
4. Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to the vehicle's
wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will be located. This
manual will only focus on the installation of the AVXMTGHR9HD monitor in the supplied
configuration.
NOTE: The monitor should be installed in the passenger position most used.
5. Locate an accessory power source and ground with +12 VDC (ACC) present when the
ignition key is in the accessory and run positions and 0 VDC should be present when the
ignition key is in the OFF position. Generally, these wires can be found at the ignition
switch or fusebox.
NOTE: Insure that the accessory power is fused at the source. Failure to do so may result in
vehicle wiring damage.
6. Run the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary (Refer to the Wiring
Diagrams on page 9). Be sure that all the wiring is protected from sharp edges and is
routed in such a manner that it will not be pinched when it is fully installed. Be sure to
leave enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow sufficient working room.
Be sure to leave enough slack in the monitor cables to allow the headrest to move up or
down, and for seat movement.
7. Install the headrest:
a. Remove vehicle's original headrest.
b. Adjust the posts of the AVXMTGHR9HD to the same width of the posts on the original
headrest by pulling the posts apart or pushing them together. (Note: grab the posts close
to the bottom of the headrest while doing this adjustment)
c. Locate the tube adapters that most closely match the outer diameter of the original
vehicle headrest post.
d. Insert the appropriate support tube adapters in vehicle headrest post guides (if
needed).
e. Hold the headrest above the seat and insert the two cables into the vehicle support
guides. Make sure that the headrest is in the correct position (display facing the rear).
f. Route the cables through the seat back and out the bottom of the seat while pulling the
cables to remove the slack. Be sure to leave enough slack in the monitor cables to allow
the headrest to move up or down.
8. Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of all the
system functions.
9. If two (2) AVXMTGHR9HD’s are installed in a vehicle, set one unit to IRTA and the other
unit to IRTB. See page 16 or page 18 for instructions.
