INSTALLATION PROCEDURE  
MOUNTING LOCATION  
1. Discuss with the vehicle owner a location  
in the vehicle that will allow viewing from  
the rear passenger seats but not be visible  
to the driver. The best location is usually  
slightly to the rear of the front seats in the  
area of the dome light.  
6. Measure from either side of the vehicle to  
the previously marked center point to find  
the center point from left to right of the  
vehicle and mark it. This will be the point  
at which the cutout template will be  
positioned for cutting the headliner. Make  
sure it is in a location that will allow the  
four mounting posts to solidly attach to  
the vehicle roof.  
2. Ensure that the chosen mounting location  
will not hinder vehicle operation or the  
driver’s view to the rear of the vehicle.  
3. Access the rear of the headliner (remove  
the dome light assembly if necessary) to  
locate any obstructions. At this time check  
for and move any hidden wires, brackets,  
hoses or vehicle electronic components  
above the headliner that could be dam-  
aged during installation.  
NOTE: At this time, locate any roof support brackets that  
can be used for supporting the mounting bracket.  
4. The headliner area chosen for mounting  
should be the flattest possible to reduce  
9
© 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.  
NOTE: For extra support it is suggested that the minimum  
amount of the headliner be removed.  
CUTTINGTHE HEADLINER  
1. Insert a pick tool or pin through the  
cutout templates center point indicator  
and the center point mark on the headlin-  
er to align the cutout template with the  
center of the vehicle.  
INSTALLTHE MOUNTING PLATE  
1. After removing the headliner cutout, thor-  
oughly clean the inside sheet metal of the  
vehicle roof with a degreaser so no dust or  
residue remains. This will allow the mount-  
ing posts to securely adhere to the vehicle  
roof. Extremes in temperature can diminish  
the life of some adhesives allowing the  
overhead monitor to vibrate or come loose.  
NOTE: When installing the mounting plate it is always  
advisable to use any available metal roof sup-  
ports in conjunction with the mounting posts.  
2. Place the mounting plate against the vehicle  
roof or headliner and mark the location of  
the slotted holes that will give the most sup-  
port. As with the template, make sure the  
position of the mounting bracket is square to  
the vehicle and interior components.  
2. Sight down the center of the vehicle from  
the rear and align the template so it runs  
square to the vehicle and other interior  
components.  
3. Make sure the arrows point toward the  
front of the vehicle. Attach the template  
to the headliner using masking tape.  
3. Using these marks as a guide, remove the  
double-stick tape from the mounting posts  
and apply to the vehicle roof. Position the  
mounting posts at the approximate center  
of the slotted holes. This will allow for  
maximum adjustability during the final  
mounting of the OHC100. After adhering  
the mounting posts to the vehicle roof it is  
recommended that a generous bead of sil-  
icone be applied to their base at the point  
of contact with the roof.  
4. Using both hands for control, cut the  
headliner with a razor or sharp knife, being  
careful not to slip. DO NOT cut past the heavy  
line marked CUT LINE. It is the maximum cut  
size when using the trim ring for installation.  
The only time the headliner should be cut  
past this line is when the monitor mount is  
being installed directly to the headliner  
without the use of the trim ring.  
NOTE: Take care not to dimple the vehicle exterior or punc-  
ture the roof sheet metal when tightening screws.

4. Install the mounting bracket.  
ROUTINGTHE CABLES AND WIRES  
1. Remove the negative terminal from the bat-  
tery or remove the fuses for any circuits nec-  
essary for this installation before proceeding.  
2. Remove any body panels or brackets nec-  
essary for routing the wires and cables.  
3. It is important to run the wires in such a  
way that they cannot be damaged or chafe  
against sharp metal during reassembly.  
7. The trim panel should be flush to the  
headliner without gaps. If any gaps occur,  
adjust the length of the spacers and/or cut  
the trim panel to the correct shape.  
4. All wires should be loomed and properly  
fused at the source. Be sure to leave  
enough length in the wires and cables to  
reach the OHC100 connectors during  
mounting.  
8. Install the monitor into the detachable  
mounting bracket and fold into the closed  
position. Open and close the unit to test  
the operation.  
5. Extend the dome light wires if necessary to  
a length adequate for connecting to the  
OHC100's dome light wires.  
VEHICLE-SPECIFIC AFTERMARKET  
INSTALLATION  
NOTE: Information about wiring connections can be  
found in the Wiring Guide section of this manual.  
The mini trim ring adapter has a raised adapter  
portion designed to adapt the OHC100 to fit  
into any aftermarket vehicle-specific overhead  
console.  
MOUNTINGTHE OHC100  
1. Cut the trim ring to match the contour of  
the headliner.  
1. Follow the Installation Procedures (Mounting  
Location, Cutting the Headliner, and Routing  
Cables and Wires) section outlined in this  
guide.  
2. Attach the video console to the trim panel  
using the 11--2.6 mm tape screws.  
3. Check that the depths of the mounting  
posts are adequate by holding the fully  
assembled OHC100 up to the roof. It  
should be spaced so that the headliner will  
not distort when the OHC100 is tightly  
screwed to the mounting bracket.  
2. Install the aftermarket vehicle-specific  
overhead console following the instruc-  
tions included with the console.  
3. If depth is an issue, attach the mini trim  
ring adapter to the overhead console  
(screws not provided).  
4. If adjustment is necessary, the mounting  
posts can be cut to length.  
4. Connect the cables and wires as described  
5. Connect all wires and cables. Refer to  
in the Wiring Guide section of this guide.  
Wiring Guide section of this manual.  
5. Attach the OHC100 assembly to the  
overhead console using the four machine  
screws provided.  
6. Attach the OHC100 assembly to the  
mounting bracket using the four machine  
screws.  
11

NOTE: Take care not to dimple the vehicle exterior or  
puncture the roof sheet metal when tightening  
the screws.  
The included mini trim ring adapter is for  
installing the OHC100 to a flat headliner surface  
that needs minimum space. It is also designed to  
adapt the OHC100 to fit into vehicle-specific  
overhead consoles available through aftermarket  
mobile video distributors.  
Cut along dotted lines  
When using the OHC100 with an aftermarket  
overhead console with inadequate mounting  
depth, the 1" Mini trim ring adapter can be  
modified by cutting out the mounting bracket  
portion of the spacer and using it as a universal  
1" mini trim ring adapter. this gives the installer  
an additional depth of 1".  
AFTERTHE INSTALLATION  
1. After completion of the video source  
installation, reconnect the battery or  
replace any fuses that were removed prior  
to installation.  
HEADLINER INSTALLATIONS  
2. Test the operation of the monitor door,  
dome lights, and remote control operation  
of the video source.  
Remove the adapter portion of the mini trim  
ring where indicated by the dotted line in the  
diagram below.  
3. Remove any marks or dirt remaining on  
vehicle interior using a quality fabric  
cleaner and return the vehicle to the cus-  
tomer.  
1. Install the mounting posts.  
2. Screw in the supplied metal plate to the  
mounting posts.  
3. Attach the 1” mini trim ring adapter to the  
overhead console.  
4. The OHC100 can now be installed following  
the Installation Procedure of this guide.
