    I just purchased an oem dvd player and while it was being uninstalled it was cut from the head liner above the drivers side by the vent ducts. I know the harness has 3 wires. Can someone help me configure these wires as well as letting me know if I have a sunroof will the mounting bracket fit.

On the parking brake under the dash is a switch at the top that actuates the parking brake light. On most vehicles most are two wire switches, but some are one wire switches. If you have a two wire switch then you can unplug it and use a test light with the ignition turned on without starting the vehicle and test the wires to see which is the hot wire and then connect to the one that has no voltage on it because it is the ground for the switch. The wire is used to detect the parking brake position as engaged before it will allow viewing of the DVD player when the vehicle is not moving. When the brake is off the DVD player will not play DVDs, this is a safety measure so the driver will not be distracted while driving. Good Luck, RAC

Why does the DVD player in my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder say invalid region?
Question edited for clarity.

It means the the car was imported from a different country. or that the DVD Player was bought in a different country to be retrofitted to a vehicle so that existing purchased DVDs can be played.

So, the car was originally bought in Mexico and sold in Canada. Only Mexican DVDs play.

or Car was bought in Canada, and the DVD Players was bought in Mexico so the Mexican family can play the DVDs they had at home.

It is called a Region Lock. Some are fixed, some can be changed once or twice.

How can I play all DVDs on the DVD player?
The DVD player maybe locked to a region, to make the player regionless so it can play DVDs from any region the player need the firmware changed.
But if you make a mistake then the player will be a piece of junk.

If your using copies then some dvds wont read them even if the old one did, sometimes its a gamble if it reads or not, if your using a master then i would have them check it out, it may be bad or need programing, it funny because sometimes it will play a copy and sometimes not, thats what i've run into. hope this helps.

I am trying to install a Clarion NZ409 Radio/DVD player in my 1997 Dodge 2500 extended cab diesel truck. I need to hook up one wire to the parking brake signal cord so that video will play only when the...
You can do like I did installing it in my 04 Civic Hybrid - find another wire that supplies a constant +5VDC and then it will believe the parking brake is always engaged and allow video. It's not legal to watch video while driving, but in my case, there was a wire bundle of around 30 or 40 wires harnessesd together that I wasn't about to jack with.

Also note that Clarion will not warranty any self installed NX or NZ 409 units. Something I hadn't realized when I got mine off e-bay.
