   Vehicle Preparation
1.  Locate an accessory +12v power source with a good ground.  These wires can be 
found at the ignition switch or fuse-box.
 Power 
Source
t +12v when the key is in the ACC and run positions.
t 0v when the key is OFF. 
NOTE:  Always fuse the ACC +12V at the source where it is connected to the vehicle.
2.  Some vehicles come equipped with a factory option that places the vehicle in an 
“Environmental Friendly” mode that shuts down the engine when the vehicle is not 
in motion. This may cause this Mobile Video system to shut down depending on the 
operating voltage of the vehicle when in this mode. Please note that this system 
must be connected to a stable ACC +12V power feed. Any voltage supplied to this 
unit less than +12V could result in performance issues or system shutdown. This 
is not a defect so take precaution if in fact the vehicle for which this Mobile Video 
system is installed has this factory option.
3. The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, the only focus 
of this manual is to provide proper installation guidance for this system. 
4.  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. 
  
NOTE: 
  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.
5.  
Once the mounting location of the monitor has been determined, additional 
preparation work may be 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. Cutting an opening in the headliner to install the mounting bracket.
   c.  If the optional Thick Trim Ring will be used, it may have to be trimmed to fit the 
contour of the vehicle’s headliner. Refer to Appendix B Installing the Optional Thick 
Trim Ring.
