sleeve from the radio.

PREPARE RADIO

CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car
wiring.

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

Wiring

Complete wiring as illustrated in the wiring diagram on page

3. 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.

2. Install the half-sleeve.
a. Install adapter if necessary (optional).
b. Install half-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 opening, bend as many of
the tabs outward as necessary so that the sleeve is
firmly secured to the dashboard.

d. Install support strap to make the unit more stable.

INSTALL HALF SLEEVE

NOTE: When replacing a fuse, be sure to use
correct type and amperage to avoid damaging
the radio. The VM9311TS uses one 10 amp mini­ATM fuse, located in the black filter box in-line
with the main wire harness.

Final Installation

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 half-sleeve, making
sure it is right-side-up, until it is fully seated and the
spring clips lock it into place.

NOTE: For proper operation of the CD/D VD play er,
the chassis must be mounted within 20° of
horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within
this limitation.

4. Attach one end of the perforated support strap
(supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis
using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the
perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either
above or below the radio using the screw and hex nut
provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.

CAUTION! The rear of the radio must be
supported with the strap to prevent damage to
the dashboard from the weight of the radio or
improper operation due to vibration.

5. Replace any items you removed from the dashboard.
