In-dash DVD monitors/players are becoming common complements or even replacements for car stereo systems. The XOVision XO1735 multimedia system offers a 7-inch pivoting touch-screen display with an AM/FM tuner and a multimedia receiver capable of playing and displaying most common movie, music and GPS files. The system has a built-in 32-watt amplifier to hook up to your vehicle's sound system, leaving your old system behind. Just purchase the correct wire harness and console mounting kit for your particular model of vehicle, and installing your new XO1735 should be fairly straightforward.
Instructions
1. Open your hood and use your socket set to remove the negative and then positive leads to your car battery.
2. Remove your car stereo by unscrewing and removing screws appropriate to mount your particular model. Pull the stereo from the dash and disconnect its antenna wire, speaker wiring harness and power cable. Make note of the color of each for later placement.
3. Arrange a space on your dash console for your XOVision display. The XO1735 requires a space that is (L/H/W) 7.5 by 6.9 by 3.8 inches. Follow the instructions for your particular mounting hardware to clear the appropriate hole for your DVD player.
4. Connect the wiring from your speaker system. Plug each colored wire into its appropriate hole on your wiring harness, following the manufacturer's instructions. Plug this harness connector into your car's harness connector. If you don't have this wiring harness, navigate to the third link in the Resources section for a wiring diagram for each speaker, antenna and power wire.
5. Plug your car's antenna wire into the corresponding port on the back of your XOVision, then the power cable. Reconnect the positive and then negative leads to your battery and test out the player before finishing the mounting work.
6. Install the wired display according to your particular manufacturer's instructions, and test the system. Press the "Power" button, then "Open." The display should slide slightly down and tilted upward to reveal a card slot underneath at the top.
