DXV3D  
INSTALLATION/OWNER’S MANUAL  
DVD Multimedia Receiver with UltraMotion™ Display  
Safety Notes:  
The DVD video display of the in-dash unit will not operate while the vehicle is moving. This is a safety feature  
to prevent driver distraction. In-dash DVD video functions will only operate when vehicle is in Park and the  
parking brake is engaged. It is illegal in most states for the driver to view video while the vehicle is in motion.  
PREPARATION  
Safety Information  
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install or operate.  
Due to its technical nature, it is highly recommended that your DUAL DXV3D is installed by a professional installer  
or an authorized dealer. This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.  
To prevent damage or injury:  
• Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.  
• Do not remove the top or bottom covers of the unit.  
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or the possibility of water splashing.  
• Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.  
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may  
cause the unit to malfunction.  
• To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness first.  
• Use only the provided hardware and wire harness.  
• You cannot view video while the vehicle is moving. Find a safe place to park and engage the parking brake.  
• If you experience problems during installation, consult your nearest DUAL dealer.  
• If the unit malfunctions, reset the unit as described on page 9 first. If the problem still persists, consult your  
nearest DUAL dealer or call tech assistance @ 1-866-382-5476.  
• To clean the monitor, wipe only with a dry silicone cloth or soft cloth. Do not use a stiff cloth, or volatile solvents  
such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or remove the printing.  
• When the temperature of the unit falls (as in winter), the liquid crystal inside the screen will become darker than  
usual. Normal brightness will return after using the monitor for a while.  
• When extending the ignition, battery or ground cables, make sure to use automotive-grade cables or other cables  
with an area of 0.75mm (AWG 18) or more to prevent voltage drops.  
• Do not touch the liquid crystal fluid if the LCD is damaged or broken. The liquid crystal fluid may be hazardous  
to your health or fatal. If the liquid crystal fluid from the LCD contacts your body or clothing, wash it off with soap  
immediately.

Several states prohibit the installation of monitors/DVD players if the screen is visible from  
the driver’s seat. If you reside in a jurisdiction which has enacted such a law, this unit  
must not be installed so that the screen is visible from the driver’s seat. When installing  
this unit in the front console/dashboard, the unit must be positioned so that it is facing the  
front passenger seat only. Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction  
which could result in serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside  
the vehicle and/or property damage.  
This unit is designed so that it may be operated only when the vehicle is in “Park” and the  
parking brake is fully engaged. To this end, this unit includes a parking brake lock-out  
feature which prohibits the unit from operating if the vehicle is not in “Park” and/or the  
parking brake is not fully engaged. When installing this unit, the installer must connect  
the parking brake detect wire (“Pink Lead”) to the parking brake mechanism in order to  
make the parking brake lock-out feature operable. DO NOT simply ground the parking  
brake detect wire to a metal portion of the vehicle. Failure to properly install the parking  
brake lock-out feature could lead to driver distraction which could result in serious injury  
or death to the driver’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or property damage.  
Once the parking brake lock-out feature is installed, the owner/user must not attempt to  
disrupt/neutralize the parking brake lock-out feature by (a) partially engaging the parking  
brake and/or (b) purchasing/using any device or unit designed to send necessary brake  
signals to the unit. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to driver distraction  
which could result in serious injury or death to the driver’s occupants or persons outside  
the vehicle and/or property damage.  
When operating this unit, keep the unit’s volume level low enough so that the vehicle’s  
occupants can hear traffic-related sounds such as police and emergency vehicles.  
Failure to follow this instruction could lead to driver distraction which could result in  
serious injury or death to the vehicle’s occupants or persons outside the vehicle and/or  
property damage.

SAFETY WARNING  
• The video display of the in-dash unit will not operate while the vehicle is  
moving. This is a safety feature to prevent driver distraction. In-dash video  
functions will only operate when vehicle is in Park and the PARKING BRAKE  
is engaged. It is illegal in most states for the driver to view video while the  
vehicle is in motion. Refer to local laws in your area.  
• The vehicle must be in park and the parking brake applied to view video on the  
in-dash monitor.  
• As a safety feature, a warning message will show on the display when the  
vehicle's parking brake is not engaged. Video display on the in-dash monitor  
isn't allowed until the PARKING BRAKE is engaged. Connect the pink PARKING  
BRAKE wire to the brake switch circuit as described on page 6. Note: DVD and  
AUX AV audio can be heard while the vehicle is in motion without engaging the  
parking brake.  
Parking Brake Initialization
