Disconnect 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 VX3020 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 Radio fuse always use the proper rated replacement fuse. Using a fuse with an improper rating
could damage the unit and cause a fire.
ISO-DIN Installation
The VX3020 is designed to fit into a 2.0 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
flexibility. This unit 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.
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 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 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 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.
