• Wire cutters • Soldering Iron
• #2 Phillips screwdriver • Solder
• Battery post wrench • Heatgun
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing
your new source unit. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring
routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new
system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making
adjustments.
If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by
a qualified Lightning Audio technician.
Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent
damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.
Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before
attempting to install the unit.
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to
beginning the installation.
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting
your unit in place.
4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high
current wires.
5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize
signal or power loss.
6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel
lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when
working on any vehicle.
7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection.
8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic
grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the
firewall.
9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with
proper fusing. Install the appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V
power wire within 18" (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from
the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding
connections should be as short as possible and always be connected
to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
Seatbelt bolts should never be used for connecting to ground.

Mounting Locations

The mounting position of your source unit will have a great effect on the
performance of your in-dash Media Player. The source unit can be installed
in a wide range of operating locations. However, care should be taken to
ensure optimum performance.
Instrument Panel
Mounting the source unit in the instrument panel provides optimum
access. The source unit should be securely mounted using the "Standard
Mount" or "ISO-DIN Mount" method to ensure optimum Media Player
performance.
Center Console
Mounting the source unit in the center console also provides optimum
access. Be sure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the
gear shift or parking brake.
Glove Box
Mounting the source unit in the glove box is adequate, but does not provide
easy access. Glove box mounting should only be done if "Instrument
Panel" or "Center Console," mounting is not acceptable (i.e., maintaining
integrity of older vehicles with metal dashboards.)
Under Dash
Mounting the source unit under the dash is adequate, but does not provide
easy access. Under dash mounting should only be done if "Instrument
Panel," "Center Console" or "Glove Box" mounting is not acceptable.
Mount the source unit off to the side of the driver's area to reduce
interference with the parking brake, gear shift, or operating pedals.
NOTE: The source unit should have a mounting angle within ±20° from
horizontal.
Before installing, remove the top screws in the
unit. (LA-2300BT only)
