If this is the case, an optional relay box is available. The Audiovox part number is SIRSWB and it plugs into the 1/8" jack located next to the FM antenna on the side of the chassis. This relay box is installed between the vehicle antenna and the car radio to provide the best possible FM reception of the DVD player audio.

GENERAL INSTALLATION APPROACH: 1) Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, VCP, Video Game, external amp, wireless headphones, VCP, etc.). 2) Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and hook ups. 3) Decide upon mounting locations of all components and method of mounting. 4) Prep the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to vehicle's wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will need to be located.
VEHICLE PREPARATION: 1) Locate an accessory power source (+12v when key is in the ACC. and run positions, and 0v when key is off), and also a good ground generally, these wires can be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box. 2) The mounting method and location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus on the installation of the VOD285 and related console accessories.
TRIM RING INSTALLATION: This page only covers special installation considerations for the trim ring installation. If the video monitor is to be installed in a vehicle with the trim ring, it may need to be trimmed to fit the contour of the vehicle headliner.

CONNECTING THE DOME LIGHTS The dome lights in the video monitor require three connections to the vehicle's wiring. There are two common types of dome light circuits used, positive or negative switched. Positive systems supply voltage to the interior lights to turn them on, negative switched systems apply ground to illuminate the bulbs. To determine which system you have you must locate the wires at the dome light.
