Check out the vehicle and plan your work
IMPORTANT!
The vehicle's roof beam (above the headliner) must support the
!
weight of the overhead console. The supplied mounting bracket must
be firmly attached to the roof beam. Determine if this is possible to
ensure that the vehicle is suitable for the installation.
CHECK THE BATTERY
Test the battery voltage and inspect battery terminals for tightness and any corrosion. This
takes 30 seconds and can save hours of troubleshooting later.
DECIDE ON A LOCATION FOR THE MAIN UNIT
Location of the main unit varies by vehicle, but is typically on the center line of the vehicle
and is always aft of the front seats. Often, the main unit's domelights replace the factory
dome light. Always attach the mounting bracket to the existing roof cross beams.
NOTICE OF INTENDED INSTALLATION AND USE
ROSEN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS OVERHEAD VIDEO PRODUCTS ARE NOT INTENDED
FOR VIEWING BY THE DRIVER, AND ARE TO BE INSTALLED ONLY TO BE VIEWED BY REAR-SEAT
OCCUPANTS. IMPROPER INSTALLATION COULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER OR INTERFERE WITH
SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH,
AND COULD ALSO VIOLATE STATE LAW. ROSEN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS DISCLAIMS
ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT
FROM ANY IMPROPER OR UNINTENDED INSTALLATION AND/OR USE.
The main unit requires adequate roof support and a relatively flat headliner. Before you
begin installation, drop the dome light and partially drop the headliner, and verify that you
have sufficient clearance and sufficient support from a roof beam. Inspect the vehicle roof
and headliner area and consider the following questions.
!
Does the vehicle have overhead climate controls? Does their location interfere with
installation of the main unit?
!
Is the dome light located where it would interfere with your installation of the unit?
The main unit has built-in dome lights which connect to the existing vehicle
domelight wiring, so it can replace the factory dome light.
!
Does the vehicle headliner contour require using an optional Tall Trim Ring
and modifying it? (Make sure you have the tools needed).
