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. rep the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to vehicle’s wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire P harnesses will need to be located.
VEHICLE PREPARATION 1. L ocate an accessory +12v power source with a good ground. These wires can be found at the ignition switch or fuse-box.
