Installation, Using the Cosmetic Trim Ring

VM9021TS

INSTALLATION

This unit is designed to fit into a 2.0 DIN dashboard opening, found in many imported cars. The unit has threaded holes in the chassis side panels which may be used with the original factory mounting brackets of some Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Hyundai and Honda vehicles to mount the radio to the dashboard. Please consult with your local car stereo specialty shop for assistance on this type of installation.

1.Remove the existing factory radio from the dashboard or center console mounting. Save all hardware and brack- ets as they will be used to mount the new radio.

2.Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the existing radio and attach them to the new radio.

ISO INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Do not exceed M5 X 6 MM screw size. Longer screws may touch and damage components inside the chassis.

3.Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape. After completing the wiring connections, plug the ISO connectors into the mating sockets on the rear of the chassis. Turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition switch must be “on”). If the unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected.

4.Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center console using the reverse procedure in step 1.

CAUTION: For proper operation of the CD player, the chassis must be mounted within 30° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation.

NOTE: It is the end-users responsibility to install and operate this unit in a manner in accordance with local, state and federal laws. The PARKING BRAKE wire MUST BE CONNECTED as directed in the manual.

CAUTION: Do not block the cooling fan exit. If blocked, the unit may overheat and become damaged.

Using the iAUX3 External AV Connector

The iAUX3 (sold separately) allows you to connect a variety of external devices, including a VCR, DVD player, portable MP3 player, etc., to your VM9021TS without removing the radio.

To install the iAUX3, connect it to the AUX-IN cables on the back of the VM9021TS (see the Wiring Diagram on page 3),

and then install the iAUX3 in a location convenient for plugging in auxiliary devices.

Using the Cosmetic Trim Ring

A trim ring is packaged with the VM9021TS for installation flexibility. The VM9021TS will fit into most import dashes with little or no modification to the dash board/cavity. Some US domestic vehicle dashes will accept a Double-DIN chassis, but there is usually a small gap between the radio and dash piece after installation is complete. In this case, use the trim ring to conceal any gaps that may be present.

Replacing the Fuse

When replacing the fuse, use a new 20A replacement fuse. Using a fuse with an improper rating could damage the unit and cause a fire.
