ou get what you pay for!!! And hey its a Dual3
The player worked great and was a decent deal for the money... Had a couple problems though.... I would put in a dvd and it would sound like the player was tearing itself apart figured out that the wiring was screwy and i fixed that so it worked perfectly... I really hate the "safety" feature on the device which makes it so you have to put parking brake on/off/on/off/on (quickly i found works better) and leave it for 10 secs before the actuall picture would go through or you have to do it again. I found if you just ground the cable to the frame (test if there's any current going through frame, OR THIS WONT WORK!!!!) wire a spare wire/cable to frame then wire the other end to a switch and the other side of the switch to the yellow ground cable they give you that goes into stereo. Then to play movies just flick the switch franticly and then turn to "off" position it should play unless you did something wrong. I did it because I dont know about you but using the brake is a hassle and if your on a hill its just a pain to do... just be smart DONT PLAY MOVIES WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And a couple more things is that the screen is very touchy and will crack easy. and the motor that makes screen come out usually will die after a year of use. BUY THE INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $40 for 4 years is worth the cost!!! I used to work at Best Buy and this item (and almost all dual and kenwood) has the highest return rate. Dont say i didnt warn you when it dies in a year maybe two if your lucky, and then you've basically thrown $400 away.
