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: Do not exceed M5 X 6 MM screw size. Longer
screws may touch and damage components inside the
chassis.
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 bloc ked,
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 iAUX
back of the VM9021TS (see the Wiring Diagram on page 3),
and then install the iAUX
plugging in auxiliary devices.

, connect it to the AUX-IN cables on the
3
in a location convenient for
Using the Cosmetic Trim Ri ng
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.
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.
OPTIONAL
TRIM RING
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.

Surround Sound
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the reigning standard for surround sound
technology in general and 5.1-channel surround sound in
particular.
Dolby Digital is a highly sophisticated and versatile audio
encoding/decoding technology. Dolby Digital technology can
transmit mono, stereo (two-channel), or up to 5.1-channel
surround sound.
Pro-Logic II
Pro-Logic II is a dramatically improved matrix surround
system based on the original Dolby Pro Logic system. ProLogic II offers two full-range stereo surround channels, more
sophisticated steering logic, high channel separation and an
exceptionally stable sound field. Dolby Pro-Logic II uses
simple servo circuits used to derive the five audio channels.
Unlike other "Surround Effects" found in other consumer
equipment, Dolby Pro-Logic II does not introduce unwanted
delays, echoes, reverberations or tonal colorations.
