Disconnect the Battery
To prevent a short circuit, be sure to turn off the i
gn
ition and remove the negative (-) battery cable prior to installation.
NOTE: If the VX3012 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.
Replacing the Fuse
When replacing the vehicles
r
adio fuse always use the proper rated replacement fuse. Using a fuse with an improper rating
could damage the unit and cause a fi
r
e.
ISO-DIN Installation
The VX3012 is designed to fit into a 1.0 DIN dashboard opening. 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.
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.
Using the Cosmetic Trim Ring
A cosmetic trim ring is supplied with the head unit for installation fl
e
xibility. This unit will fit
into most import dashes with little or
no modific
a
tion to the dash board/cavity. Some US domestic vehicle dashes will accept a Single-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.
2. Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the
existing radio and attach them to the new radio.
C
AUTION! Do not exceed M5 X 6MM screw size. Longer
screws may 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 connection, plug the
connector
into the
mating socket on the rear of the chassis. Turn the
unit on to
confi
r
m 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 above.
CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.
NOTE: For proper operation of the CD/DVD player, the chassis must be mounted within 30° of horizontal. Make sure the
unit is mounted within this limitation.
