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).You have constant B+ (orange) wire to the rear accessory plug. Yes, as a general rule, orange is always hot, and yellow is switched hot. Rear wiper/washer has an ignition hot (VIA the RAP relay), or under the console at the floor shift console. These would be yellow wires. However, I believe the power to the rear wiper/washer runs down the driver's side of the vehicle. When under the console, don't mess with any of the wires going to or from the sensing and diagnostic module, it controls the air bags. Also, there is a module under the front of the passenger seat that is used for the passenger presence system that turns on/off the passenger air bag.

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.Depress the button on the inboard head restraint guide to raise the head restraint to the full up position. Then insert a small diameter tool into the hole on the inboard side of the outboard head restraint guide and pull upward to remove.


3) how does the seat back large plastic panel/net come off? I dont want to force it and break anything?Pull outward at the sides of the back panel to release the clips at each side.
Using a flat bladed tool push down at the two top retainers to release from the seat back frame.
Push in and up at each of the retainers on the lower edge of the back panel to release.


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?Should be a ground under the passenger seat, or right behind it.

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

Never did an install, so I can only help. Those who have installed may have better places to tap into the wires.
