BEFORE YOU START THE INSTALLATION, READ THIS GUIDE! 

Car Show “Headrest DVD” systems are the easiest-to-install DVD entertainment systems available today. 

However, we

 

strongly recommend reading this guide before starting the installation! 

 

 
 
 

1 Make sure you have the tools you will need 

 

These common items are needed to complete this installation: 

 

·

 Digital multimeter (DMM) 

 

·

 #2 Phillips screwdriver  

·

 Appropriate tool for headrest removal 

·

 Allen wrench set 

·

 Panel removing tools   

 

·

 Cable routing tool (included) 

·

 Security latch tool (included)   

·

 Retractable knife 

·

 Wire cutters, strippers, and a crimping tool     

·

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

·

 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 Inspect the vehicle and plan your work

CHECK THE BATTERY

 

Test the battery voltage to make sure it’s fully charged and inspect battery terminals for tightness and any 
corrosion. This only takes seconds and can save hours of troubleshooting later.
