Parking break bypass

[VistaV6]

So before anyone yells at me for being unsafe, this is for a friend. He just got a 4100/5100 (not sure) for his 200x stang. He wants me to help him with bypassing the parking break because he doesn't know how to wire it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

You will need a basic 2 wire toggle ....that will be grounded

my brother did his with a relay and has had no problems with his. i dont know about the toggle switch way so i cant tell ya how that works.

copied off the bypass thread in the h/u section

get a relay before you wire up the h/u harness, we're going to tap into that. tie 87 into 85 use spade terminals, make a little daisy chain, and twist that with the black wire of the radio. pin 30 goes to your parkingbrake lead (lt green usually). pin 86 gets tapped in with your remote wire off of the h/u (blue with white line usually). basically what happens is at rest its an incomplete circuit. when you turn the radio on, it checks the PB wire first, and then after it boots fully it engages the remote power, which turns your amp on AND trips the relay to throw ground into the PB wire. Your radio no bypasses itself for you every time it boots, and it just cost you a relay and 4 spades.

ya i would say its safer to go the relay way than just a toggle switch. but the toggle switch is cheaper since you usually have one layin around. not sure if the toggle switch way can hurt the hu or not. how and what wires do you hook up for the toggle switch way

i have the 4100... mines on a switch, it works perfectly..... its very simple to do

its very simple ...its grounded then to the toggle then to the head unit ...simple and cheap solution ..

This is how I had my toggle switch and it worked great.

The Ground wire just got connected to a section of green wire to make it longer, but where those wires met another wire came out and that one got grounded. I don't know if you could see it in the pic cuz when I took it off I cut it pretty short.
