michaelholey Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 I am helping my friend install an in dash dvd player and everything works but when u try to play dvds it says shit about the parking brake or whatever. is there any way to wire both the parking brake and the reverse bulb wire so that you can play dvds while driving(not for the driver to watch but for the passengers.) we tried to install the wires to power and then to the remote turn on and the unit just says no signal detected. idk wtf to do. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Mtgrooves Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 pac makes a part that bypasses the parking brake wire and lets you see movies while driveing The Shoe Maker without shoes!
raytard Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 the reverse signal line (usually purple) will switch the unit into "rear view mode" if it sees 12 volts. this is only if you have a reverse camera, if you dont just leave it disconnected for now. the parking brake wire is usually light green or pink (if you have an alpine, get a part called a ptr7 from peripheral, itll do the bypass for ya)> read the manual...if it says you have to do some brake on brake off reverse thing (which im guessing...which means you have an alpine) get a ptr7 if it says it needs to see a parking brake on/off/on or parking brake on after ignition, put a switch in and flip it a few times till video shows if it doesnt specify, just touch the brake wire to the radio chassis and turn the car on, if video plays just tie it in with the ground (black wire) i assume no responsibility for anything happening while you watch the screen, or anything you do to it in the installation process, but that should be a given.
