INSTALLATION
ISO DIN 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 brackets 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: 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.
Installation Using Half-Sleeve
1. Press the metal levers on both sides to remove the halfsleeve from the radio.
2. Install the half-sleeve.
a. Install adapter if necessary (optional).
b. Install half-sleeve into adapter or dashboard (use only
the supplied screws). Do not force the sleeve into the
opening or cause it to bend or bow.

3. Use the M5 x 6 screws (provided) to install the mounting
brackets to each side of the radio using the holes
indicated below.
CAUTION: Do not exceed M5 X 6MM 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.
INSTALL HALF SLEEVE
2b
c. Locate the series of bend-tabs along the top, bottom
and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully
inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of
the tabs outward as necessary so that the sleeve is
firmly secured to the dashboard.

CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.
5. Complete wiring as illustrated in the wiring diagram on
page 3. Once the wiring is complete, reconnect the
battery negative terminal. If there is no ACC available,
connect the ACC lead to the power supply with a switch.
MOUNTING SLEEVE
M3x4
SCREW
After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to
confirm operation (ignition switch must be on). If unit does not
operate, recheck all wiring until problem is corrected. Once
proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition switch and
proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
1. Connect wiring adapter to existing wiring harness.
2. Connect antenna lead.
3. Carefully slide the radio into the half-sleeve, making
sure it is right-side-up, until it is fully seated and the
spring clips lock it into place.
Using the Cosmetic Trim Ring
Two cosmetic trim rings are packaged with the AMM12N for
installation flexibility. The AMM12N 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 appropriate trim ring to conceal any gaps that may be
present.
The 4 tabs on the trim ring will snap into four holes on top and
bottom of the mounting sleeve.

Installing the MediaLink External AV
Connector
The MediaLink allows you to connect a variety of external
devices, including a VCR, DVD player, portable MP3 player,
etc., to your AMM12N without removing the radio.
To install the MediaLink, connect it to the AUX-IN cables on
the back of the AMM12N (see the Wiring Diagram on page
3), and then install the MediaLink in a location convenient for
plugging in auxiliary devices.
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.
