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
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 allows you to connect a variety of external
devices, including a VCR, DVD player, portable MP3 player,
etc., to your VM9020TS without removing the radio.
To install the iAUX3, connect it to the AUX-IN cables on the
back of the VM9020TS (see “Wiring” on page 3), and then
install the iAUX3 in a location convenient for plugging in
auxiliary devices.
Using the Cosmetic Trim Ri ng
A trim ring is packaged with the VM9020TS for installation
flexibility. The VM9020TS 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.
VM9020TS
CAUTION: Do not exceed M5 X 6 MM 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.
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.
Replacing the Fuse
When replacing the fuse, use a new 10A replacement fuse.
Using a fuse with an improper rating could damage the unit
and cause a fire.

Care and Maintenance
1.Use only a clean silicone cloth and neutral detergent to
clean the front panel or monitor. A rough cloth and nonneutral detergent (such as alcohol) may result in
scratching or discoloration.
2.Do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
3.If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a
protective circuit automatically stops play of the disc. If
this occurs, allow the unit to cool before operating the
player again.
4.Never insert anything other than a 5” (12 cm) compact
disc into the player as the mechanism can be damaged
by foreign objects.
5.Do not attempt to use a 3” (8 cm) CD-Single disc in this
unit, either with or without an adaptor, as damage to the
player and/or disc may occur. Such damage is not
covered by the Warranty on this product.
6.The CD player may not operate properly in extreme hot
or cold. If such conditions occur, allow the interior of the
vehicle to reach a normal temperature before using
player.
7.When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or
under damp conditions, condensation may appear on
the LCD panel. Should this occur, the screen will not
operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.
8.We suggest you use a cleaning disc in this unit more
frequently than in the unit in your home due to the
environmental conditions of the vehicle.
