INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Jensen VM8012 Mobile
Multimedia Receiver. It’s a good idea to read all of the instructions before
beginning the installation. We recommend having your Jensen VM8012
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 8:30am to 7:00pm EST Monday
through Friday and from 9:00am to 5:00pm EST on Saturday.
Tools and Supplies
The following tools and supplies are needed to install the radio:
• Torx type, flathead and Philips screwdrivers
• Wire cutters and strippers
• Tools to remove existing radio (screwdriver, socket wrench set or other
tools)
• Electrical tape
•Crimping tool
• Volt meter/test light
• Crimp connections
• 18 gauge wire for power connections
• 16-18 gauge speaker wire
Preparation
1. Disconnect Battery
Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.
NOTE: If the VM8012 is to be installed in a car equipped with an onboard drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery
cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost.
Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation to avoid
causing a short circuit.

3. Remove Radio from Sleeve
Lift latches on both sides of sleeve to remove half-sleeve from radio.
Mounting Sleeve Installation
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If it is locked into position,
use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.
2. 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.
3. 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 to firmly
secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
CAUTION: For proper operation of the DVD player, the chassis must
be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted
within this limitation.

4. 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. See “Wiring” on page 3. After
completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation
(vehicle ignition must be on). If the unit does not operate, re-check all
wiring until the problem is corrected.
5. Make sure the radio is right-side up, then
carefully slide the radio into the mounting
SPRING CLIP
sleeve until it is fully seated and the spring clips
lock it into place.
6. Secure the rear of the unit to the car body
using the mounting bolt and rubber cushion.
7. Test the radio using the “Operation”
instructions that follow.

ISO Installation
This unit has threaded holes in the chassis
side panels which may be used with the
original factory mounting brackets of some
vehicles to mount the radio to the
dashboard. Please consult with your local
car stereo 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. Carefully unsnap the plastic frame from the front of the new radio
chassis. Remove and discard the frame.
3. Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the existing
radio and attach them to the new radio. Do not exceed M5 x 9mm
maximum screw size. Longer screws may damage components inside
the chassis.
4. Wire the new radio as outlined in the Mounting Sleeve Installation
instructions.
5. Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center console
using the reverse procedure of step 1.
Fuses
When replacing a fuse, make sure the new fuse is the correct type and
amperage. Using an incorrect fuse could damage the radio.
TRIM RING
Kit Installation
If your vehicle requires the use of an installation kit to mount this radio,
follow the instructions included with the installation kit to attach the radio to
the mounting plate supplied with the kit.
1. Wire and test the radio as outlined in the Mounting Sleeve Installation
instructions.
2. Install the radio/mounting plate assembly to the sub-dashboard
according to the instructions in the installation kit.
3. Replace the dashboard trim panel.

the trim ring by lifting in the center and pulling
it off from either side. Insert the removal keys
