Installation Manual

VEHICLE PREPARATION:
1) Read the installation guide and get familiar with the electrical requirements
and connections.
2) Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to
the vehicle’s wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses
will be located.
a) Monitors: Vehicle-specic Headrest
NOTE:
- The M1 monitor has the pink/green connectors.
- The M2 monitor has the blue/yellow connectors.
b) Wireless FMM Interface Box: Located under either seat where monitors
are located or in the center console.
3) Locate an accessory power source (+12 VDC should be present when the
ignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0 VDC should be present
when the ignition key is in the OFF position) and a good ground. Generally,
these wires can be located at the ignition switch or fusebox.
NOTE: Ensure that the switched power is fused at the source. Failure to
do so may result in vehicle and wiring damage.
4) Run the power harness from the power source to the wireless FMM Interface
Box. Refer to the Headrest System Wiring Diagram on Page 6. Be sure that
all the wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner
that it will not be pinched when it is fully installed. Be sure to leave enough
slack in the wiring at each component to allow sufcient working room. Be
sure to leave enough slack in the monitor cables to allow the headrest to
move up or down, and the seat to move backward and forward.
NOTE: Do not interfere with airbags or airbag wiring.
5) Install the Headrests:
a) Remove the vehicle’s original headrests.
b) Hold the headrest monitor above the seat and insert the two cables into
the headrest support tube holes. Make sure that the headrest is in the
correct position (Display facing the rear of the vehicle).
c) Route the cables through the seat back and out the bottom of the seat.
d) Place the headrest support tubes into the support tube holes while pulling
the cables to remove the slack. Be sure to leave enough slack in the
monitor cables to allow the headrest monitor to move up or down.
e) Keep monitor cables away from seat tracks to avoid wire damage when
seats are moved.

VEHICLE PREPARATION (continued):
6) Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify proper operation
of all the system functions. (Refer to the Headrest System Wiring Diagram on
page 6)
a) Connect the headrest DIN cables to the FMM Interface Box DIN cables
which are color coded. Connect each headrest cable to the correct color
cable on the Wireless FMM Interface Box.
b)
Locate an accessory power source (+12 VDC should be present when the
ignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0 VDC should be present
when the ignition key is in the OFF position) and a good ground. Generally,
these wires can be located at the ignition switch or fusebox.
.
c) Extend the wireless FM antenna to its full length and orient for best reception.
Do not place it on the Wireless FMM Interface Box or near metal.
NOTE: In certain areas where there are a large number of FM radio stations
(e.g. large cities, urban areas), the reception of the FM signal may
not be satisfactory, resulting in static, distorted sound or signal
bleed thru from strong local radio stations. This is not a defect in the
product, but the result of a stronger local radio station overpowering
the wireless FM transmitter in your headrest system.
If wireless reception is unsatisfactory, an optional wired relay box (Audiovox P/N
FMDIRB) can be installed which will improve audio quality.
7) After verifying the proper operation of the system, mount each component.
8) When all the components are mounted, recheck the entire system to be sure
it is functioning correctly. Make sure that no wiring was pinched or connected
improperly during the nal installation. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for system
operation.
100 CHANNEL WIRELESS FM MODULATOR:
The system is equipped with a 100 channel built-in wireless FM Modulator, that
allows you to listen to the DVD audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s radio to one
of the selected frequencies.
This feature is accessed by using the FM transmitter buttons on the remote control
(FMM ON/OFF). Whenever the FM Modulator is on, broadcast reception on the
vehicle’s radio will be poor. Switching the FM Modulator off will allow normal radio
reception.
