Dual XDM290BT CD Receiver

Installation

Before You Start

• Consult a qualified technician for instructions. Dual recommends professional installation.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Remove the trim ring from the unit (if installed).
• Remove 2 transit screws located on top of the unit (if applicable).
• Insert the removal keys and remove the mounting sleeve from the head unit.

Note: Most vehicles require an installation kit, wiring harness, and/or antenna adapter (all sold separately) to properly install the head unit in the vehicle.

Installation Process

1. Carefully remove the existing head unit.
2. Connect the wiring harness. Consult a qualified technician if unsure.
3. Mount the head unit using the mounting sleeve or ISO brackets (depending on your vehicle’s dashboard).
4. Connect the wiring harness and antenna. Test the head unit for correct operation.
5. Slide into the mounting sleeve to secure, or mount the ISO brackets to the vehicle.
6. Snap the trim ring into place.

Wiring Connections

Tip: When a suitable ground wire is not present in the vehicle wiring harness, connect the black ground wire to the vehicle chassis.

Fuse: When replacing the fuse, ensure the new fuse is the correct type and amperage. Using an incorrect fuse could damage the radio.

Mounting the Head Unit

Typical DIN mounting: Diagram illustrates the process of mounting a single DIN head unit using a mounting sleeve inserted into a dashboard or installation kit. Mounting tabs on the sleeve are bent to secure it. The head unit is then slid into the sleeve until it clicks.

ISO mounting: Diagram shows a single DIN head unit being mounted using existing or supplied brackets attached to the sides of the head unit with screws. A decorative bezel may be used.
