4. Installation (Setup)

The BLITZ TV Jumper is designed for a coupler-on installation for most compatible models, simplifying the process. However, some models may require additional steps. Always refer to the vehicle-specific compatibility chart and detailed wiring diagrams if provided.

4.1. Pre-Installation Steps

  1. Verify Compatibility: Confirm that the BLITZ 10501 is compatible with your vehicle's make, model, year, and navigation system.
  2. Gather Tools: You may need basic automotive tools such as trim removal tools, screwdrivers, and possibly a multimeter.
  3. Disconnect Battery: For safety, disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery before proceeding with any electrical connections.
  4. Access Navigation Unit: Carefully remove the necessary trim panels and components to gain access to the rear of your vehicle's navigation or head unit.

4.2. Connecting the TV Jumper

  1. Locate Connectors: Identify the main harness connectors on the back of your navigation unit that correspond to the BLITZ TV Jumper harness.
  2. Connect Harness: Disconnect the original vehicle harness from the navigation unit. Connect the BLITZ TV Jumper harness in-line, ensuring that one end connects to the navigation unit and the other end connects to the vehicle's original harness. The connections are typically "coupler-on" (plug-and-play).
  3. Connect Main Unit: Plug the vehicle-specific harness into the BLITZ TV Jumper main module.
  4. Connect Switch: Connect the one-touch switch cable to the designated port on the BLITZ TV Jumper main module.
  5. Secure Components: Secure the BLITZ TV Jumper module and excess wiring in a safe location behind the dashboard, ensuring they do not interfere with moving parts or vehicle operation.
  6. Route Switch: Route the one-touch switch to an accessible location for the passenger, ensuring the cable does not obstruct controls or airbags.

4.3. Post-Installation Steps

  1. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery.
  2. Test Functionality: Turn on the vehicle's ignition and test the TV Jumper's operation as described in the "Operation" section.
  3. Reassemble: Once functionality is confirmed, carefully reassemble all removed trim panels and components.

5. Operation

The BLITZ TV Jumper activates its function by pressing the one-touch switch after the engine has started. This allows passengers to view TV or other video sources while the vehicle is in motion.

5.1. Enabling TV Viewing

  1. Start Engine: Ensure the vehicle's engine is running.
  2. Press Switch: Press the one-touch switch. The device will activate, enabling TV viewing for passengers.
  3. Verify Display: Confirm that the video content is now visible on the vehicle's display.

5.2. Returning to Normal Mode

To return to the vehicle's standard navigation or display mode (where video is restricted while driving), simply press the one-touch switch again. This will deactivate the TV Jumper's function.

5.3. Navigation Functionality

For some vehicles, the BLITZ TV Jumper also allows for navigation input while the TV viewing function is active. Refer to your vehicle's specific compatibility information for details on this feature.

Note: If you desire automatic activation of the TV viewing function upon engine start, consider the "FULL AUTO" model (if available) as this product requires manual activation via the switch.
