Bypassing Parking Brake Wire on my Kenwood DNX7190HD


Recommended Posts

Ok, what I'm looking for is... How simple is it to bypass the parking brake wire on my Kenwood DXN7190HD DVD/Navigation Headunit? I am looking to play DVDs while driving for road trips, and just to ride around with people and play music videos. I know this said activity is a ticketable offense in every state (I believe). I am just wondering how it is done. I used to work in the Circuit City Roadshop for 6 years, as a Salesperson. I am color blind and I understand the CONCEPT of installs, but I don't have any application of installs, except assisting with taking off door panels, and dashes, etc. When Circuit City shut down, most of the installers I knew moved and/or gotten different jobs, so asking them for something, that I could pretty much get anyone to do wouldn't seem right. When I worked there, I allways had DVD/Navigation systems in all my cars, and they were always wired up to play music videos by the installers. Help?

Tie it into the ground of the harness, it should bypass the parking brake feature and play just fine. I did this on both my DDX6019 and my DDX896(eXcelon) and it worked perfectly.

Like I said I'm no expert. Do you know which wire that is (ie. black, green w/ black stripe, yellow, etc)? I'm assuming the black wire is the ground, but it's better to know than assume.

The black is ground, that's correct. You can just tie the parking brake into the ground and you should be in business :)

As far as the parking brake wire, haha it's been too long for me to remember, but I'm sure your harness is labeled. Maybe purple with white stripe?

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Will this generally work for all screen decks? I.E. wiring my eclipse AVN726E to the ground in the same manner will work to watch DVDs and drive?

Booo, my memory sucks. It's ok, I'm glad you got him straightened out. I would hope he still had it labeled. was purple with white stripe a speaker wire?

Any ideas which wire from my aftermarket HU needs to get wired to ground? I didn't see a lime green (different brand) What might it be labeled?
