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 four screws at the front of the radio that attach the mounting sleeve to the radio chassis (two at the top and two at the bottom). Remove the Half Sleeve.

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

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

4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the dash. 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.

5. Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard o 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.

Installation Using Mounting Sleeve

1. Install the sleeve. a. Install adapter if necessary (optional). b. Install 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. 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 ope

ning, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary so that the sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard.

Use the M5 x 6 screws (provided) to install the mounting brackets to each side of the radio using the holes indicated below.

3. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.

CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.

4. Complete wiring as illustrated in the wiring diagram on page 8. 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.

Subject to technical changes

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 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 VME 9120TS for installation flexibility. The VME 9120Ts 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. (Picture 6 / Page 6)

Replacing the Fuse

The fuse is located next to the wiring harness. When replacing the fuse, use a new 15A replacement fuse. Using a fuse with an improper rating could damage the unit and cause a fire.
