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,
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.
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 rever-
se 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 wit-
hin 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 manu-
al.
CAUTION: Do not block the cooling fan exit. If blocked, 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 VME9020TS without removing the radio.
To install the iAUX3, connect it to the AUX-IN cables on the back of the VME9020TS
(see “Wiring” on page 9), and then install the iAUX3 in a location convenient for plug-
ging in auxiliary devices.

Using the Cosmetic Trim Ring
A trim ring is packaged with the VME9020TS for installation flexibility. The
VME9020TS will fit into most import dashes with little or no modification to the dash
board/cavity. Some European and 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.
Replacing the Fuse
When replacing the fuse, use a new 10A replacement fuse. Using a fuse with an impro-
per rating could damage the unit and cause a fire.
