Installation

The installation of the TVA 2000™ and TVA 3000™ tuner is a relatively simple procedure for many who have a limited amount of car maintenance experience. The following are the phases required in properly affixing the tuners to your car.

Phase I: Remove the faceplate cover that is usually affixed to the dashboard with fasteners or fasterners and a few screws. A plate or panel cover remover tool would be used.

The Tool is used to remove the cover.

The radio unscrewed from its mounting or is pulled out from its locked in positon. See car grid and recap schedule which provided general rules by car manufacturer as to normal removal procedures.

The radio wires are coded and the Television Audio, Inc.'s tranreceiver tuner wire (color yellow) is spliced together with existing radioÕs yellow wire which provides constant electrical power to the tuner.

The transceiver module (Black Box) has straps, adhesive velcro, and wire straps available for permanent affixing to the inside portion of the radio mounting compartment. The best method to use is the one that relies on a common sense conclusion.

At this juncture the TVA 2000tm and the TVA 3000tm require different approaches for the affixing of the TVA 2000tm tuner module head controller versus the TVA 3000tm tuner IR receiver and headphone jack.

The TVA 2000tm tuner: The head controller will be affixed to the dashboard of the car via velcro and have a wire attached from the black box to the contoller.

The wire can be fed from the transreceiver black box through the plastic cover to the velcro affixed controller which is mounted conveniently and strategicly on the dashboard. The wire can be fed out of the transreciver black box from behind the radio unit through a side of the black box up through the front along a side of the multi media unit guided by self adhesive guide clips to the velcro affixed controller.

The face plate cover is replaced by reversing removal operation. The tuner installation is finished

The TVA 3000tm tuner: The IR and the head phone jack will be attached through a 1/2" inch drilled hole in the plastic cover or the dashboard or any where it is best affixed within reach of the IR remote controller transmission.

The face plate cover is replaced by reversing removal operation. The installation is completed.
