prepare the headrest units.  

 

Step 2: 

Locate the mounting bracket as shown.

4 Running the cables through the headrest posts 

 
You will need to route the cables through the headrest posts. The following steps will guide you through this 
process. 
 

Step 1:

 Place the Car Show electronics system above the 

headrest bucket as shown in figure 1.   

 

Step 2:

  Position the cables on each side of the headrest 

bucket and ensure they are smooth without kinks or knots. 

 

Step 3:

  Route the cables through the headrest posts, being 

careful not to cross the cables.

 

 

 

Step 4:

  Position the Car Show electronics unit in the 

headrest bucket while constantly pulling the cable through 
the headrest posts (see figure 2). This step is critical to 
prevent damage to the cables or Car Show unit. 

 

 
IMPORTANT

Do NOT allow the cables to cross over one another or leave excess cable slack in the 
headrest bucket. This will prevent the unit from closing properly, could permanently 
damage the unit.
