WARNING

Upon installation of this Monitor/DVD player ("unit") into a vehicle, the driver of the vehicle must not operate this unit by watching videos or playing video games while driving. 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.

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 ("Yellow-Blue 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.

Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install or operate.

Due to its technical nature, it is highly recommended that your DUAL XDVD8183N is installed by a professional installer or an authorized dealer. This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.

Safety Notes:

WARNING

Upon installation of this Monitor/DVD player ("unit") into a vehicle, the driver of the vehicle must not operate this unit by watching videos or playing video games while driving. 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.

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 ("Yellow-Blue 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

DUAL XDVD8183N - SAFETY WARNING - 1

  • 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.
  • Audio can be heard while the monitor is closed.
  • The vehicle must be in park and the parking brake applied to view video on the in-dash monitor.
  • As a safety feature, "ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE" blue screen will show on the display when the vehicle's parking brake is not engaged. Video display on the front monitor isn't allowed until the PARKING BRAKE is engaged. By connecting the yellow/blue PARKING BRAKE wire to brake switch circuit as described below, DVD and AV1 audio can be heard while the vehicle is in motion without engaging the parking brake.

Follow these two initialization procedures carefully to allow video playback on XDVD8183N front panel TFT:

There are two situations that start the PARKING BRAKE sequence.

First situation is while driving:

1) Stop vehicle, put in Park, make sure PARKING BRAKE is off/released
2) Depress PARKING BRAKE for 1 second
3) Release PARKING BRAKE for 1 second
4) Depress PARKING BRAKE permanently

Note:

Once above procedure 1-4 is completed, video will display in approximately 6 seconds.

Second situation is while already parked and the PARKING BRAKE is already applied:

1) Keep vehicle in Park, PARKING BRAKE should be on
2) Release PARKING BRAKE for 1 second
3) Depress PARKING BRAKE for 1 second
4) Release PARKING BRAKE for 1 second
5) Depress PARKING BRAKE permanently

Notes:

Once 2nd procedure 1-5 is completed, video will display in approximately. 6 seconds. The transition time must be less than 2 seconds between depress and release. This procedure will have to repeated if the IGN is turned off.
