2. Test fit the overhead monitor system on the ceiling of the vehicle, verifying it is not going to

interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle and is physically safe for the driver and passenger(s).

3. Once the mounting location of the overhead monitor system has been determined, carefully

mark the location with masking tape.

4. Lower the vehicle's headliner down to see if a roof support beam is available to screw the

mounting bracket to. If a support beam is not available to screw into, use a ¾" piece of plywood

cut to the appropriate size. Attach the plywood to the roof of the vehicle using silicone allowing

adequate drying time before proceeding.

5. Screw the mounting bracket in the vehicle. DOUBLE CHECK THE LENGTH OF THE SCREWS PRIOR

TO MOUNTING THE BRACKET, TO PRECLUDE PENETRATION OF THE VEHICLE’S ROOF.

pass through.

7. Route cables through the hole to the predetermined location of the AV source(s).

8. Identify the dome light wires in the vehicle and connect them to the corresponding dome light

wires on the overhead monitor system. Ensure the domelight switch is in the correct position.

9. Plug in the AV, DIN, dome light, and power cables into the overhead monitor system.

10. Carefully hold the overhead monitor system to the mounting bracket aligning the mounting

holes while screwing in the screws. (Make sure the wires and cables are not in the way while mount-

ing the monitor).

11. Ground the Black wire of the power cable to a clean ground spot.

12. Connect the Yellow wire of the power cable to the battery positive terminal.

13. Connect the Red wire of the power cable to the Accessory wire in the ignition harness.
