jmsonoma03 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 How many screens you put in? A couple brands need a bypass Pioneer Alpine. The Panasonic in my Ram is grounded at the harness with head unit and it plays fine. Wont work anyway??? IDK where your getting your info but I have put quite a few screens in vehicles and other than a few brands all I have done with parking brake wire was ground it. None of them have had any problems. Aint trying to start nothing but I personally have had zero problems grounding the Brake wire.. how many screens probally about 100 and the guy has a dual indash the only way to get the screen to come on is to set the brake release it and reset the brake and hope it comes on because they suck and dont always come on!!!and yes my avic n1 can be grounded and it works alpines and pioneers you can buy bypasses for in fact on the certain pioners all you have to do is move 1 wire in the harness to a certain emty spot and it bypasses it some like panasonic and other cheap indashes can be grounded and work fine but either way a toggle switch should be used because in most states it is illeagal to have on while driving. just because i havent posted on here much in a few months dont mean im a noob.

Don't get your panties in a bunch man. My questions to youwere serious. I was wanting to know what was up and where you were coming from. I said IDK about why it wouldn't work just grounded out. I've done a bunch of installs and my wholesaler ain't ever sold dual there cheap shit is jensen. Just ground em out. But the cheap Panasonic your talking bout was cheap I only paid 150 for a brand new 7003U I wasn't gonna pass it up. Your second explanation was better. I was just trying to help the dude. And I have only been on here a couple months Im a noob around here. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a toggle switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Soo they said any switch would work...can I make one out of a small night light. Or would another type of switch would work? It would be easy to just go get a switch like the one I used (its in the pic) and its not that expensive, I think I got mine for like $5 (AutoZone).

DONT PUT THE POSITIVE WIRE TO THE GREEN! IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR NEW HEAD UNIT!!! The picture above shows that you basically add a switch into the wire that goes to your parking brake(GREEN) and then take the end of that wire and splice it to JUST the ground wire(BLACK). 88-98 GM Full Size Forum www.GMT400.com i put fuses on power wires, and condoms on fuses, to keep the fuses safe!
