GENERAL INSTALLATIONAPPROACH:

1)Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed

(i.e.: what components, VCP,Tuner,RF Modulator/externalamp,

remoteheadphones, DVD, etc.).

2)Reviewall manuals to become familiar withelectrical requirements

and hookups.

3)Decideupon mounting locations of all componentsandmethodof

mounting.

4)Prep the vehicle by removing anyinteriortrim necessary to gain ac-

cess to vehicle'swiring as well asall areas whereinterconnecting

wire harnesseswillneed to belocated.Ifany access holes need to

be cut intothevehicle(headliner,other trim components etc.), this

should be done nowas well.

5)Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicleas necessary.

(Refer to theWiringDiagrams on page10 of this manual as wellas

the wiringinstructions for the individual components and accessory

options being installed).Besure thatall wiring isprotected from

sharpedges and is routed in such amannerthatitwill notbe pinched

whenall components andinterior trim arefully installed. Be sure to

leaveenoughslack inthewiringateachcomponenttoallowworking

room.

6)Remove allA/V system components fromtheirpackaging and place

them looselyin the vehicle at their respective locations.

7)Connectallcomponents together(electrically)and verifyproper op-

erationof all system functions.Note:This is bestdoneBEFORE

components have been permanentlymounted.

8)Afterverifyingproper operation ofthe system,proceed tomounteach

ofthecomponents.

9)When all components are mounted, recheckfunction ofentire sys-

tem againto ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected im-

properlyduringfinal installation.
