GENERAL VEHICLE INSTALLATION APPROACH
1.
Decide upon system configuration and options that will be installed (i.e.: what components, Video Game, external amp.).
2.
Review all manuals to become familiar with electrical requirements and connections.
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. If any access holes need to be cut into the vehicle (headliner, other trim components etc.), this should
be done now as well.
5.
Route the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagrams on page 14 of this manual, as well as the
wiring instructions for the individual components and accessory options being installed). Be sure that all wiring is protected from sharp
edges and is routed in such a manner that wiring is not pinched when all components and interior trim are fully installed. Be sure to leave
enough slack in the wiring at each component to allow working room. Avoid routing wiring near or over airbag wiring or airbags.
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 (electrically) and verify 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 again to ensure that no wiring was pinched or connected
improperly during final installation.
