General Vehicle Installation Approach - Audiovox AVXMTG13UA Installation Manual

GENERAL VEHICLE INSTALLATION APPROACH

1� Decide upon the system configuration and options that will be installed�
2� Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and hookups�
3� Decide upon the mounting locations of all components and the method of mounting�
4� Prep the vehicle� Remove any interior trim necessary to gain access to vehicle's wiring, as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses
will be located� If any access holes need to be cut into the vehicle, do this now�
5� Route the wiring harnesses in the vehicle as necessary� Refer to the wiring diagrams in this manual, as well as the wiring instructions for the
individual components and accessory options being installed� Ensure that the wiring is protected from sharp edges� Ensure that all wiring is not
pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed� Leave enough slack in the wiring at 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 and verify the 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 each component�
9� When all components are mounted, recheck the function of the entire system� Ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected improperly during
final installation
10� Dome light wiring must be carefully planned due to the design of vehicle electrical systems� Some vehicles use an electronic module (i�e� Body
Control Module) to turn the dome lights on and off� Care must be used to avoid damage to these types of electronic modules or damage to
the dome light circuit in the DVD overhead�
General guidelines for dome lamp wiring:
1� If it is not certain how the dome lamps tie into the vehicle electrical system, wire the dome lamp circuit (of the DVD overhead) to the driver's
door pin switch�
2� Follow the instructions on page 11 and 12�
3� Contact the Audiovox tech support line if you have any questions regarding dome lamp wiring�
