Installation
Please note: photos used to illustrate the following steps are of a TOYOTA PRADO 120
series. With different model cars, the installation method may vary. Photos are used for
demonstration purpose only.
STEP 1: Remove original radio.
Start by removing necessary dash trims. As the trims are removed, it will allow the original
radio to be removed by unfastening the original mounting bolts. Please keep all trim
pieces, bolts & accessories in one place. If you are unfamiliar with which positions the
screws came from, it is wise to label them.
Step 2: Remove radio from original brackets.
In most vehicles, the original radio is bolted to the original brackets by 4 bolts on either
side. Remove these bolts to separate the OE radio from its mounting bracket.
Step 3: Drill mounting holes for A.V.N.C
To make finding the right positions to drill easier, VMS offers premade template
downloads from
http://www.vms4x4.com/support/support.html
If you vehicle is available, download the template in PDF format and print out at 100%
original size.
Place the template over your factory mounting bracket, mark the holes & drill.
We strongly recommend the use of a bench drill to drill the mounting holes. This will allow
for a more precise fitment.
Step 5: Position GPS Antenna & Microphone
.
Now is a good time to position both the GPS antenna & microphone for the bluetooth. Both are best
suited to the driver’s side, so start by clipping the microphone onto the top of the A pillar plastic trim.
In most vehicles, the door trim seal can be removed and the wires can be hidden behind the trim.
Place the GPS antenna in the corner of the dash on the driver’s side A pillar. Run the wiring under
the dash trim. If the wires are run across the top of pedals, be sure to use cable tires to secure loose
wires from protruding near the pedals.
Step 5: Wiring the A.V.N.C.
VMS offer a range of wiring looms to suit specific vehicles and is made to be compatible with the
original radio harness. If this part is available for your vehicle, please utilise the integration kit.
Plug the VMS factory integration loom into the A.V.N.C, then plug the other end into the factory
wiring harness. Plug the GPS antenna, Microphone & Radio Antenna into the A.V.N.C. (VMS also
provides radio antenna adaptors for antenna configurations not compatible with the A.V.N.C)
On the factory integration loom, there will be few loose wires labeled,
REVERSE (BLUE)
,
AMP CTL

,
BRAKE/SPEED (Purple)
.
-
REVERSE
wire is used when a reversing camera is fitted. This line needs a 12V+ signal which
can be tapped off the reversing light. The purpose of this wire is to let the A.V.N.C know when the
car is in reverse gear so that the screen can automatically change to reverse mode.
-
BRAKE/SPEED
wire is used to control the play back of DVDs. This should be connected to your
vehicle’s handbrake (GND). Consult an auto electrician if you cannot find the ground to your
handbrake. If grounded to the vehicle’s body, the DVD player will play at anytime regardless of the
vehicle being in motion.
Step 4: Insall A.V.N.C onto original factory radio bracket
After the mounting holes are drilled. Install the A.V.N.C on to the original factory bracket
using the mounting screws provided in the package. Do not use screws that are not
supplied with the unit as this may damage internal components on the A.V.N.C.
Please note, use the longer fixing screws on the side of the A.V.N.C with heat sink.
