In anticipation of placing my order for the dual dvd headrest monitor/player (A-1000's) I have a few install questions.
1) where is the best place to grab the +12v and switchd +12? I do not have power seats. I hear there is a constant under the pass front door sill plastic piece does anyone know what the wire color combination is how about the switched +12v is there one there also? I hear all yelllow wires on the GM vehicles and the H3 specifically are switched +12v could thee be one under one of the sills? (the long piece of plastic that runs along the bottom outside of the floor) (its under the door when the door is closed).
2) sounds stupid but I tried to pull off one of the headrests tonight and the left post (facing the rear of the seat) has the spring loaded release on it, and when depressed will let the left post coee out all the way, but the right post has none, it just has a plastic cap on the side, I couldnt get that post to come out.
3) how does the seat back large plastic panel/net come off? I dont want to force it and break anything?
4) what is the best way to cleanly route the 2 wires from the new headrest posts down through the seat and under it to tie the wires into the small control box? I want them as hidden as possible.
5) I gues I can grab the ground with a ring terminal to one of the seat base bolts? or is there a ground wire under one of the front plastic sills I can tie into?
6) on the rf(small control box) wire I hear it gets the best reception if it is run directly to the back of the radio and coiled around the head units antenna then have the back core of the rf antenna wire touching the back of the head unit's chassis? Is this the best method? I have taken the dash face off and removed the radio so if this is the best route I will do it.
Thanks to anyone with the answers I need help here. Hopefully someone on thsi board has done the install and can give me some guidance and answer my questions.
Any other tips or tricks I have forgotten about would be great also.
Thanks again
Mike
