□ Required Tools
You’ll need a screwdriver and the following:

□ Identify All Leads
The first step in installation is to identify all the car wires
you’ll use when hooking up your LCD monitor.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label it
using masking tape and a permanent marker. This will help
avoid confusion when making connections later.
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the display
unit until you have made all connections. It there are no
plastic caps on the hooking wires, insulate all exposed
leads with electrical tape until you are ready to use them.
Identify the leads in the following order.
Power Lead
It your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug (leav­
ing the leads as long as possible) so that you can work
with individual leads. Turn the ignition on to the accessory
position, and ground one lead of the test bulb to the chas­
sis.
□
II
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the exposed
wires from the cut radio connector plug. Touch one wire at
a time until you find the outlet that causes the test bulb to
light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb also turns
oft and on, that outlet is the car power lead.
If your car is not wired tor an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio
(RADIO) accessory (ACC) or ignition (IGN).
Battery Lead
If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need to locate
the car's battery lead. Otherwise you may ignore this pro­
cedure. (The yellow battery lead provides continuous
power to maintain a clock or other functions.)
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights oft, identify the car battery
lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb to the chassis
