6. Mounting the Glass Break Detector

The glass break detector module should be mounted behind the
dashboard, in an area that will allow the extension cable from the
microphone to be plugged in. The microphone should be mounted on the
lower dash lip, pointing toward the rear of the vehicle. Mounting the
microphone to hard plastic panels or plastic air conditioning ducts is not
recommended, as normal expansion and contraction of plastics may
cause enough noise to create a false trigger. You should also mount the
microphone below eye level, as the red L.E.D. will flicker on and off
whenever a sharp noise is detected.
To mount these components;
A. Use the screws or wire ties to mount the glass break module behind
the dashboard.
B. Mount the microphone using the enclosed screw, or an optional
double sided adhesive pad.
C. Plug the microphone cable into the glass break module, and secure
the cable along it's path using wire ties.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

Making the connections to the vehicle, as described in this wiring
section, may be beyond the technical abilities of the average consumer.
If you have any questions with the wiring procedures, please call a
qualified automotive technician, or call the AUDIOVOX HOT LINE at 1
- 800 - 225 - 6074. Prior to making any connections, a 12 Volt logic probe
should be used to confirm the proper connection point.
IMPORTANT ! The 9 pin white connector on the end of the main harness
that plugs into the siren control module should remain disconnected
during the wiring portion of the installation. Leaving this disconnected will
ensure that the keychain transmitters are properly programmed later in
the installation.

1. Routing The Wiring Harness

The DARK BLUE, GRAY, ORANGE, BROWN, and WHITE wires must
be routed through the firewall, and into the passenger compartment of
the vehicle.
In most cases, the RED wire will also be routed into the passenger
compartment, to the courtesy light fuse. Before proceeding with the wire
routing, verify the location of the courtesy light fuse, as a small
percentage of vehicles locate this fuse in the engine compartment, and
in these cases, it will not be necessary to route the RED wire through the
firewall.
If you have installed a pin switch into the trunk, you will also need to route
the DARK GREEN extension wire through the firewall, and to the
previously installed trunk pin switch.
After confirming these component locations, route the DARK BLUE,
WHITE, GREY and RED wires towards their connection points. Caution
should be used when routing wires. Keep wires away from all hot
surfaces, and any moving parts of the vehicle ( radiator fans, accelerator
or brake pedal linkage, etc. ).
ADJUSTMENT ACCESS
When routing wires through the firewall, be sure to pass the wires
through an existing rubber grommet. Failure to do this can result in
damage to wires from sharp metal edges, and an eventual failure of the
security system.

2. Connecting the RED Wire

Locate the courtesy lamp fuse. Both sides of the fuse will indicate + 12
Volts on the logic probe while the fuse is plugged in. Remove the fuse,
and test the contacts that the fuse plugs into. One of the contacts will
not indicate + 12 Volts. This is where the RED wire will be connected.
Connection Method A;
A. Locate the wire coming from this fuse terminal at the back of the
fusebox.
B. Splice the RED wire from the harness to this wire, and insulate with
electrical tape.
Connection Method B;
A. " Fuse clip " terminals, which will plug in with the contacts of the fuse,
are available at most electronics stores. This method of connection
may be easier in some vehicles.
B. Refer to the specific instructions included with the fuse clip terminals.
