INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Jensen VM8023HD Mobile Multimedia Receiver. It’s a good idea to read all of the instructions before beginning the installation. We recommend having your Jensen VM8023HD installed by a reputable installation shop.

INSTALLATION

This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle. If you have trouble locating a kit or need installation assistance, contact Technical Support at 1-800-323-4815 from 9:00am to 6:00pm EST Monday through Friday.

The following tools and supplies are needed to install the radio:

Torx type, flathead and Philips screwdrivers

Mounting Sleeve Installation

1.Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it.

If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.

2.Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard
