MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE TOOLS AND PARTS YOU’LL NEED

These common hand tools are needed in almost every installation:

!Phillips #2 screwdriver

!Knife and blades

!Digital multimeter (DMM)

!1/4” drive sockets are often needed for dashboard and trim disassembly.

!3/8” drive sockets are often needed for seat removal and reinstallation.

!Check if Torx or Allen-drive bolts are used on any panels you will be removing.

!You will need a DVD in good condition when testing the system.

Standard installation parts you will need include wire, wire ties, wire crimp connectors or

solder, and electrical insulating tape. Installation of aftermarket automotive electronics

also often requires access to special parts. It is a good idea to have a source for these

common installation parts.

2 Check out the vehicle and plan your work

IMPORTANT!

The vehicle’s roof beam (above the headliner) must support the

weight of the overhead console. The supplied mounting bracket must

be firmly attached to the roof beam. Determine if this is possible to

ensure that the vehicle is suitable for the installation.

CHECK THE BATTERY

Test the battery voltage and inspect battery terminals for tightness and any corrosion. This

takes 30 seconds and can save hours of troubleshooting later.

DECIDE ON A LOCATION FOR THE MAIN UNIT

Location of the main unit varies by vehicle, but is typically on the center line of the vehicle

and is always aft of the front seats. Often, the main unit’s domelights replace the factory

dome light. Always attach the mounting bracket to the existing roof cross beams.

NOTICE OF INTENDED INSTALLATION AND USE

ROSEN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS OVERHEAD VIDEO PRODUCTS ARE NOT INTENDED

FOR VIEWING BY THE DRIVER, AND ARE TO BE INSTALLED ONLY TO BE VIEWED BY REAR-SEAT

OCCUPANTS. IMPROPER INSTALLATION COULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER OR INTERFERE WITH

SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH,

AND COULD ALSO VIOLATE STATE LAW. ROSEN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS DISCLAIMS

ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT

FROM ANY IMPROPER OR UNINTENDED INSTALLATION AND/OR USE.

The main unit requires adequate roof support and a relatively flat headliner. Before you

begin installation, drop the dome light and partially drop the headliner, and verify that you

have sufficient clearance and sufficient support from a roof beam. Inspect the vehicle roof

and headliner area and consider the following questions.

!Does the vehicle have overhead climate controls? Does their location interfere with

installation of the main unit?

!Is the dome light located where it would interfere with your installation of the unit?

The main unit has built-in dome lights which connect to the existing vehicle

domelight wiring, so it can replace the factory dome light.

!Does the vehicle headliner contour require using an optional Tall Trim Ring

and modifying it? (Make sure you have the tools needed).

3 Cut the headliner and mount the bracket

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT BEGIN THIS STEP UNTIL YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE HEAD-

LINER, THE ROOF BEAM, AND ALL OTHER ESSENTIAL AREAS, AND

VERIFIED THAT THE INSTALLATION CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY COM-

PLETED! IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THE INSTAL-

LATION IS SAFE, SECURE, AND APPROPRIATE TO THE VEHICLE.

STEP 1: SELECT A MOUNTING METHOD

!Standard mounting. You will need to cut the headliner in order to create a path for the

cables and to mount the bracket. Sometimes the headliner has enough contour that

modifications to the included trim ring are needed. (If this contour is severe, you may

need to use one of the optional tall trim rings.) It is critical to modify the trim ring when

working with uneven surfaces, as the uneven pressure can cause various problems

with the unit. The bracket will mount laterally and the mounting screws must be able to

line up with the threaded standoffs on the bracket as shown.

!Custom mounting. This involves modifying the bracket or using appropriate

brackets, and can also involve using a Universal Tall Trim Ring, and modifying it to fit

the vehicle. Again, sometimes the headliner has enough contour that

modifications to the included trim ring are needed. (If this contour is severe, you may

need to use one of the optional tall trim rings.) It is critical to modify the trim ring when

working with uneven surfaces, as the uneven pressure can cause various problems

with the unit.

As with every installation, it is your responsibility to make the installation

safe, secure, and appropriate to the vehicle. RES does not recommend recessed

mounting (without a trim ring) due to possible high-temperature operation issues.

Bending or modifying the bracket

The bracket is designed to be able to be bent or shortened as needed. You may also

want to remove the four unused threaded standoffs with a hammer as shown, but

only when you are certain they will not be needed.

STEP 2: CUT THE HEADLINER

1 Remove the cardboard template (it

is perforated into the inner box). Center

the template on the center line of the

vehicle by measuring the width of the

headliner, dividing by two, and making a

chalk mark on the center line.

Always double-check that the

template is correctly oriented

front-to-rear.

Note: The Trim Ring Footprint

is NOT the cut line!

IMPORTANT! If you cut away too much of the headliner, you will cre-

ate a direct path for heat to radiate from the roof of the vehicle into

the DVD drive. On very hot days, this type of installation could trigger

the unit’s temperature protection (the DVD drive shuts down above

140OF). To minimize heat exposure, only cut the headliner as shown.

2Double-check the template’s front/rear orientation and position.

3 Trace the template cut locations onto the headliner with a pencil, marker, or chalk.

4 Using a sharp blade, carefully cut out the headliner. Cut on the inside of your lines. Cut

a rectangle for the cable exit, and small squares for the screw locations. (Cutting

squares makes the alignment process much easier than drilling precise holes).

Note: If you plan on removing unused standoffs from the bracket, you can reduce the

number of holes to cut - see page 8.

5 Test-fit the mounting bracket into the headliner opening from above.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the screws you use to mount the bracket and the main

unit are not too long! If the screws you select are too long, you will

damage the roof of the vehicle. Take great care when planning this

part of your installation.

Optional spacers may be needed

With some vehicle roof beams, you may need to use optional spacers to mount the bracket

to the beam. Some thick headliners require spacers between

the bracket standoffs and the main unit.

If test-fitting indicates that you need to use the

included spacers between the main unit and the bracket standoffs,

pre-insert each mounting screw into the main unit from below

as shown. Then press the spacer over the tip of the screw.

The spacers should hold the screws in place.

After you have pre-inserted all four screws, go to the next step - do not mount the unit yet!

4 Route the harnesses and make all wiring connections

Basic connections are described in this section. Also see wiring diagrams starting on p.15.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Use caution to assure that harnesses and cables are protected from sharp

edges. Where necessary, add tape to cover sharp surfaces.

• Avoid sharp bends (always less than 90O, but less than 45O is preferred).

• The locking connectors in this system require that even force be applied to the

release latch when harnesses are disconnected. Failure to use reasonable care

will damage the connector and cause system failure.

CABLE AND HARNESS ROUTING

1 Starting at the headliner cutout, route the black power harness to the underdash area.

Leave about six inches of cable hanging through the cutout. Allow enough slack in the

harnesses above the headliner to allow working room. You may want to leave a short

loop hanging out the side of the headliner until final re-assembly (this makes stuffing

cables into the headliner easier when you mount the unit).

2 You may want to secure the cables with tape so they lie flat. This makes it easier to

reassemble the vehicle trim correctly, especially with sunroof vehicles.

3 If any other optional harnesses are being used, route them from the headliner cutout to

their destination. Remember to leave working slack.

When using optional harnesses, you may need to split the harness paths, routing

some harnesses down one side of the vehicle and the rest down the other.

CONNECTING THE POWER HARNESS

The system requires both constant 12V (+) and switched 12V (+) energized when the key is

in the Accessory position. These can be found at the ignition switch harness. The ground

wire should mount to bare metal, using a factory ground bolt whenever possible.

Power Harness Connections:

Yellow 12V (+) Constant Battery Power (Fused 7.5 A)

Red 12V(+) Switched Accessory (Fused 1 A)

Black Chassis (-) Ground

Orange Vehicle Illumination Input (12V(+) when the parking lights are on)

IMPORTANT:

- Connecting the Red wire to constant 12V(+) causes battery drain

and premature battery failure.
