The overhead console unit is attached to a bracket which in turn is attached to a roof cross-member, to the rear of the
front sunroof. The cross-member is drilled and fitted with three captive nuts. The bracket is secured to the cross-
member with three Torx screws and provides the attachment support for the overhead console unit. The unit is
secured to the bracket with two screws located underneath the screen and two further screws which are located
beneath the button and plug trim panels.
The overhead console unit is connected to the main DVD wiring harness by a short link lead which has a connector
at each end. The main wiring harness is routed across the roof, above the headlining, to the top of the right hand 'B'
post and is then routed along the roof panel and descends down the 'A' post, behind the trim panel, to the CD switch
box next to the passenger compartment fusebox.

5Connector C07
The CD switch box is located below the steering column, on the passenger compartment fusebox bracket, behind the
fascia closing panel. The box is secured to the bracket with two metal clips.
The switch box is connected to the lower DVD harness assembly. Two plugs from this harness connect into the switch
box on opposite sides. A fly lead from one of the connectors provides for the connection of the integral noise filter.
Some CD switch boxes have two internal switches which are located next to one of the clips. This type of CD switch
box can be used on vehicles with either a Becker head unit or an Alpine head unit. The switches have two positions;
'Differential Audio' or 'Non-Differential Audio' which is defined by a decal above the switch aperture. For a Becker head
unit the switches must be in the 'Non-Differential Audio' position, for an Alpine head unit the switches must be in the
'Differential Audio' position.
CD switch boxes without the internal switches can only be used on vehicles with an Alpine head unit and cannot be
used on vehicles with a Becker head unit.

86-6-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Connector C05
Connector C05 is located passenger compartment fusebox and supplies power and ground to CD switch unit.
Electrical Supply
The complete system is connected via a connection in the passenger compartment fusebox. A plug is connected to
an auxiliary socket in the fusebox and supplies the ground, accessory power and permanent battery power supplies
to the system via the CD switch and main DVD harness.
The system is connected by two fuses in the passenger compartment fusebox as follows:
lFuse 15 (20A) – Auxiliary power supply
lFuse 27 (15A) – Permanent battery supply.
CAUTION: Always replace fuses with a fuse of the correct Amperage rating.
Voltage Protection System
The DVD system has a voltage protection system to protect the vehicle battery from further loads if battery voltage is
low or to protect the DVD system if the battery voltage is high.
If the battery voltage falls to 11 volts or below, the system will shutdown to protect the battery from further drain. A
message 'Voltage Error shutdown' will appear in the LCD monitor before the system shuts down. When the battery
voltage reaches 11.5 volts or above, the system will restart when the power button on the remote control handset is
pressed.
If the battery voltage exceeds 17 volts, the system will shutdown to a low voltage 'dormant' mode to protect the system
from excessive voltage. A message 'Voltage Error Shutdown' will be displayed in the LCD monitor before the system
shuts down. When the voltage has fallen to 16.5 volts or lower the system will restart when the power button on the
remote control is pressed.
