WARNING! Never install this unit where operation and
viewing could interfere with safe driving conditions.

WARNING! T o reduce the risk of a traffic accident (except
when using for rear view video camera) never use the
video display function while driving the vehicle. This is a
violation of federal law.

WARNING! Never disassemble or adjust the unit without
the assistance of a professional. For details, please
consult your local car stereo specialty shop.

WARNING! To prevent injury from shock or fire, never
expose this unit to moisture or water.

WARNING! Never use irregular discs.

WARNING! To prevent damage to the mechanism inside
this unit, avoid impact to the TFT monitor.

WARNING! To prevent damage to the touch screen

WARNING! The monitor employs an automatic motorized
mechanism. To prevent damage to the core mechanism,
please do not push, pull or swivel the monitor manually.

Disconnecting the Battery

To prevent a short circuit, be sure to turn off the ignition and
remove the negative (-) battery cable prior to installation.

NOTE: If the VM9020TS is to be installed in a car
equipped with an on-board 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.

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.
