[. . . ] 2) Generally, the best location for the video monitor is where the vehicle's dome light is traditionally installed (center of roof, just behind the two front seats). The monitor should be located in such a manner that it can comfortably be viewed by the rear seat passengers in the vehicle. The monitor should NEVER be located in a position that would place it within the driver's field of view. This is not only hazardous for driving conditions (as it creates a distraction to the driver), but it is against the law in many states. [. . . ] Connect monitor (electrically) and verify proper operation of all system functions. Note: This is best done BEFORE, and AFTER monitor has been permanently mounted. After verifying proper operation of the system, proceed with mounting video monitor. When the monitor is mounted, recheck function of the entire system again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during final installation. 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Rear Panel Features Hook Up Procedure A- Perimeter Screw Bosses ­ Use these to A ­ Connect the power harness affix the unit to various console/ trim to the mating connector on the bezels. ­ Use these B ­ Connect power harness to to secure the unit to the roof structure of the vehicle's electrical system the vehicle and/or console assembly. by tapping into an accessory (optional) hot line.

They can be cut to size as needed. Figure 4 Full Size Console Installation: This page covers special installation considerations for full size, custom console installation. There are several "full size" custom consoles available for selected vehicles. Some of these vehicles are the Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition, and the Dodge Durango. These full size consoles incorporate several additional features, and are particularly useful if the vehicle you are installing this system into already has an OEM overhead console in the headliner. Refer to the installation manual that comes with the console itself for complete installation instructions. The diagram above shows a detail of the attachment of the console to the video pod. 4 Mini Console Installation: This page only covers special installation considerations for the mini console installation. If the video monitor is to be installed with a custom full sized overhead console, turn to page 4 now. If the video monitor is to be installed in a vehicle with the mini console (P/N 1181300), it may need to be trimmed to fit the vehicle headliner. 1) In this installation, the video monitor is mounted directly to the overhead cross member in the roof using the mounting screw bosses (item B on page 3). The screw bosses should contact the crossmember directly (ie: no gap between the screw boss and the roof structure). Also, be sure that the screws (2b on page 1) do not pierce the outer roof skin when fully fastened into the crossmember. The mini console is attached to the video monitor using the perimeter screw bosses (item A on page 3). It is important the screws used in this installation are not overtightened, and the video monitor and mini console are mounted in such a way the assembly does not distort (or bend) when the mounting screws are tightened. [. . . ] The plastic will break cleanly at the cut by bending back and forth several times. d) Check the fit of trimmed console and make any minor adjustments necessary. 4) The mini console can be painted or covered with a material that matches the headliner before assembling the mini console to the video monitor. 5) The finished mini console should be attached to the video monitor, then attach assembly to the roof.
