Parking Brake lead

aight well i guess ill try that first but i think the switch will definitely be backup plan numero uno

A positive thing to the switch is that you can have it playing videos when you want and you can have the videos not show when you want.

I was thinkin that would be a good thing incase the 5-0 decide they need to pull me over for seein videos playin

some do need a series of on off on off type, mine i can just ground out and it works all the time i just wired it that way but my friends alpine had 2 switches which was a huge pain

Yeah that's why I did mine like that, cuz it illegal to drive with video playing in Cali.

If you want to do a switch, then just buy a normal on/off switch and put your parking break lead to one input of the switch and your ground wire to the other. I have a pic, I'll get it from my photobucket right now.

EDIT:

And nice choice of unit, I had a Clarion and that's what I did ^ that too.

I appreciate the diagram and i think its definitely the route im going to go.

Yeah it seems to help, especially if you a visual person, like me.

And the little piece that look cut is the ground cable.

if you wanna be on the 5-0 safe side with out the switch, power the rear view camera turn on, and run the video out, to the camera in. since your h/u dosent cut the sound when your in camera, youll have sound and pic, and just a blue screen on dvd. this works for any h/u with a camera in

the clarion is just ground the park brake.

Pioneer use a relay, wire 85 to your remote turn on, 30 to parking brake wire 87 and 86 to ground.

in my neighbor's blazer we put it on a switch to ground. but it was an older pioneer flip out

some of the smart ass ones want to see the can not view in motion screen, and I hate toggle switches. The only flip out I ever added toggle switches to bypass, was a alpine
