NOTE: If the VM8022 is to be installed in a car equipped with an on-

Universal Installation
1.
Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the radio into it.
If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the
radio easily slides into the opening. Do not force the radio into the open-
ing. Check for sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chas-
sis.
CAUTION: For proper operation of the DVD player, the chassis must
be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted
within this limitation.
2. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be
brought through. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain
all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical
tape. See “Wiring” on page 3. After completing the wiring connections,
