Final Installation  
Final ISO-DIN Installation  
1. Remove trim ring.  
After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to  
confirm operation (ignition switch must be on). If unit does not  
operate, recheck all wiring until problem is corrected. Once  
proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition switch and  
proceed with final mounting of the chassis.  
2. Install the half-sleeve.  
a. Install adapter if necessary (optional).  
2. Mount factory brackets on new radio using existing  
screws from old radio.

only the supplied screws). Do not force the sleeve  
into the opening or cause it to bend or bow.  
c. Locate the series of bend-tabs along the top,  
bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the  
sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening,  
bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary so  
that the sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard.

3. Slide radio chassis into dash opening and secure.  
4. Reinstall dash panel.  
1. Connect wiring adapter to existing wiring harness.

MP3/WMA OPERATION  
Instructions for TFT control and Insert/Eject are the same for  
DVD and MP3 operation. Please see the DVD/Disc Video  
Operation section for information about these topics.  
MP3 Playing Order  
Loading an SD Card  
Insert the SD card into the SD slot (21) on the front of the  
radio. The unit will read the audio media files on the card  
automatically.  
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File  
Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were  
written by the CD writer. As a result, the order in which they  
are expected to be played may not match the order in which  
they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in  
which MP3/WMA files are to be played by writing them onto a  
medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with  
play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99".  
MP3/WMA Media and File  
Requirements  
This player allows you to play back MP3 and WMA files  
recorded onto CD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and DVD-R/RWs.  
For CD-RW discs, please make sure it is formatted using the  
full method and not the quick method to prevent illegal disc  
operation.

For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy  
is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select, as  
shown below.  
Up to 1500 songs/files can be burned onto a disc for a MEGA  
DVD music mix. Do not exceed this number of songs/files or  
disc readability problems may occur.  
To remove the card, first press the SRC button (6) to switch to  
another mode and stop SD playback. Pull the SD card out to  
remove it.  
MP3 Format Compatibility  
The file naming formats listed below are compatible with this  
unit:  
Loading a USB Device  
1. Locate the USB jack located on the MediaLink4.  
ISO 9660 – file name: 12 characters, file extension: 3  
characters  
ISO 9660 – file name: 31 characters, file extension: 3  
characters  
Joliet – 64 characters  
MediaLink  
If the file or folder name does not conform to ISO 9660 file  
system standards, it may not be displayed or played back  
correctly. Use the following settings when compressing audio  
data for your MP3 disc:  
3.5mm - Audio  
VIDEO  
LEFT  
RIGHT  
USB JACK  
Transfer Bit Rate: 128kbps  
Sampling Frequency: 48kHz  
2. Insert the USB device into the USB jack. The unit will  
read the audio media files on the USB device  
automatically.  
When recording MP3 up to the maximum disc capacity,  
disable additional writing. For recording on an empty  
disc up to maximum disc capacity, use the "Disc at  
once" setting.  
To remove the USB device, press the SRC button (6) to  
switch to another mode and then remove the USB device  
from the USB jack.  
The VM9512 player will only recognize three folder levels and  
does not display folders containing only other folders. In the  
example above, the unit will display folders 3, 4, 6, and 8, but  
not 2 and 7 since they do not contain any tracks directly.  
Folder 5 is not recognized at all since it is at the fourth level.

About Bluetooth  
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio connectivity  
technology that is developed as a cable replacement for  
mobile phones, handheld PCs and other devices. Bluetooth  
operates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and  
data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was  
launched by a special interest group (SIG) comprised of  
Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM in  
1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2,000  
companies worldwide. The Bluetooth word mark and logos  
are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such  
marks by Audiovox Corporation is under license. Other  
trademarks and trade names are those of their respective  
owners.

To use a phone wirelessly with this unit, it is necessary to first  
establish a connection using Bluetooth wireless technology.  
Connection is normally established using HFP (Hands Free  
Profile), which gives you full control of functions available on  
the telephone source. However, depending on your phone,  
the connection may be made using HSP (Head Set Profile),  
making some functions unavailable. This is a limitation of  
your phone, not the VM9512.  
Try to perform pairing within a few minutes of the phone  
being turned on.  
Once the unit has been paired with the phone, the unit’s  
model number, “VM9512”, will be displayed on the  
mobile phone.

Care and Maintenance  
1. Use only a clean silicone cloth and neutral detergent to  
clean the front panel or monitor. A rough cloth and non-  
neutral detergent (such as alcohol) may result in  
scratching or discoloration.  
2. Do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.  
3. If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a  
protective circuit automatically stops play of the disc. If  
this occurs, allow the unit to cool before operating the  
player again.  
4. Never insert anything other than a 5” (12 cm) disc into  
the player as the mechanism can be damaged by  
foreign objects.  
5. Do not attempt to use a 3” (8 cm) CD-Single disc in this  
unit, either with or without an adaptor, as damage to the  
player and/or disc may occur. Such damage is not  
covered by the Warranty on this product.  
6. The CD player may not operate properly in extreme hot  
or cold. If such conditions occur, allow the interior of the  
vehicle to reach a normal temperature before using  
player.  
7. When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or  
under damp conditions, condensation may appear on  
the LCD panel. Should this occur, the screen will not  
operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.  
8. We suggest you use a cleaning disc in this unit more  
frequently than in the unit in your home due to the  
environmental conditions of the vehicle.
