Audiovox LCM5043NP - Manual (Page 5)

VEHICLE PREPARATION
1) Decide on the system configuration and the options that will be in-
stalled (i.e. what components, VCP, DVD, TV Tuner, Video Game,
Monitor, FM Modulator, etc.).
2) Read the manuals and get familiar with the electrical requirements
and connections.
3) Decide on the mounting locations and methods of mounting the prod-
ucts.
4) Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain
access to the vehicle's wiring as well as all areas where interconnect-
ing wire harnesses will be located. If any access holes need to be cut
into the vehicle, headrests, or other trim components, this should be
performed now. (Refer to the Installation Procedure).
5) Run the wiring harnesses and cabling throughout the vehicle as nec-
essary. (Refer to the wiring instructions for the individual components
and accessory options being installed). 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 sufficient working
room.
6) Remove all the A/V system components from their packaging and
then place them in the vehicle at their respective locations.
7) Locate an accessory power source (Red Wire)(+12VDC present when
the ignition key is in the accessory and run positions. 0VDC should
be present, when the ignition key is in the OFF position). Generally,
these wires can be found at the ignition switch or fuse box.
8) Locate a Constant Power Source (Yellow Wire)(+12VDC present at
all times).
NOTE: Ensure that the accessory power is fused at the source.
Failure to do so may result in vehicle wiring damage.) Ground the
black wire to a chassis ground close to the mounting location of AV
sources.
9) Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify that the
proper operation of all the system functions. NOTE: This is best
done BEFORE the components are permanently mounted.
