So i got this stereo last week it's one of those DUAL 7 in. lcd screen stereos with dvd an all that an it has a wire that i'm suppose to connect to the parking brake that will enable me to be able to view the video, but i won't be able to drive and watch at the same time does anyone know how to rig it up so it will play the video while i drive???

Thanks Chris

 

Iv seen it done so it ispossible.

 

Yeah hotwire a switchto thee-brake thatwhen flipped on tells the car the emergency brake is enabled. My friend hotwired his in his Maxima and all it does is trigger on the "Brake" Light. It works awesome.

 

Or... u could just ground the ebrake wire to the chassis... but I didnt tell you that.
You really should be watching the road when u drive.. NOT the tv.

 

agreed with dusty, if that cable is actually looking for another thats hot, you can draw current from somewhere else to not mess up with your ebrake, but your ride your choice.

 

No, its looking for a ground.

 

I'm not hooking it up like that so i can watch videos it's so other people riding can watch them.. but anyways i'm kind of car retarted so what is the chassis and your saying if i hook up the wire that is from thew stereo to the chassis that should do it?? can you give me a pic of the chassis or sumthing.....Haha i'm not very good at this.

Thanks Chris

 

the metal body of your car. Use a bolt from the chassis to hold it there.

 

Hooking it up to a ground or the chasis might not work. It depends on the how new the radio is and if they company fixed it so you cant ground it out and watch the dvd player while driving.

 

If it uses the ebrake to turn it on or off, it must be looking for a ground Ant.
