manual abstract
Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner that pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at it will not be each component to allow working room. 6) Remove all A/V system components from their packaging and place them loosely in the vehicle at their respective locations. 7) Connect all components together (electrically) and verify proper operation of all system functions. Note: This is best done BEFORE, components have been permanently mounted. 8) After verifying proper operation of the system, proceed to mount of each component. 9) When all components are mounted, recheck function of entire system again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during final installation. SYSTEM OPTIONS: There are a few audio output options that can be added as follows: a) Wireless Headphones (P/N MVIRHS). b) Wired relay box for wireless FM Modulator (SIRSWB). The VDS102T video system is only intended for an overhead, drop down installation. It is not intended for Seatback or any other type of mounting. The hinging mechanism is designed for horizontal, drop down use only. ~3~ VEHICLE PREPARATION: 1) Locate an accessory power source (+12v when key is in the ACC. and run positions, and 0v when key is off), and also a good ground generally, these wires can be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box. 2) The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus on the installation of the video monitor and related console accessories. 3) Generally, the best location for the video monitor is where the vehicle's factory dome light is installed. The monitor should be located in such a manner that it can be comfortably viewed by rear seat passengers. NEVER INSTALL THE MONITOR IN A PLACE WITHIN THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS, BUT IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL IN MANY STATES. 4) Once the mounting location of the monitor has been determined, there may be additional preparation work necessary, depending on the vehicle structure and installation method. Some of the steps that may be required are: A) Removal of the vehicle's dome light B) The headliner may. C) If the trim ring will be used, it will have to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle's headliner. Refer to the "trim ring installation" section in this manual. ~4~ TRIM RING INSTALLATION: This page only covers special installation considerations for the trim ring installation. If the docking station is to be installed in a vehicle with the trim ring, it may need to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle headliner. 1) docking station In this installation, the is mounted directly to the overhead cross-member in the roof using the mounting screw bosses. These screw bosses should contact the cross-member directly (i.e.: no gap between the screw boss and the roof structure). Also, be sure that the screws do not pierce the outer roof docking station skin when fully fastened to the cross-member. The trim ring is attached to the using the perimeter screw bosses. It is important that the screws used in this installation are not over tightened, docking station and that the and trim ring are mounted in such a way that the assembly does not distort (or bend) when the mounting screws are tightened. An alternate method is to use the supplied mounting bracket. Refer to the drawing on page 6. 2) docking station It is best to mount the to the roof structure without the trim ring first. There should be a docking station gap between the headliner and the outer flange of the . The trim ring should be cut to full this gap. Apply masking tape to the outer surface of the trim ring in the areas where the cut will be made. 3) Mark the cut to follow the necessary contour of the roof. The suggested method of marking is as follows: A) First mark the narrowest point of the trim ring on the masking tape. Be careful to consider not only vertical location, but fore-aft location. B) Using the handle of a screwdriver, make a “transfer marking tool”. See diagram below. Place the tool against the roof and the marker against the masking tape on the trim ring. Trace the cut to be made around the entire perimeter of the trim ring. C) Cut the trim ring using a sharp utility knife or shears. Make the cut in several passes over the marked line, each time cutting a little deeper. It is not necessary to cut completely through the plastic, the cut only need be over 50% of the wall thickness of the plastic. By bending the cut back and forth several times, the plastic will break cleanly at the cut. D) Check the fit of the trimmed console and make any minor adjustments necessary. 4) The finished trim ring should be attached to the video monitor, then attach the assembly to the roof. Tape marker to screwdriver. Lowest point mark Cut line Headliner Starting at your mark for the lowest point, trace the contour of the roof ~5~ MOUNTING THE TRIM RING...
