Alpine iva nav 1 install question - dvd display while driving - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So i bought a new double din tv for my car. I used to have a single din pioneer dvd player installed and had the parking break wire grounded so that i could get video display without the parking brake. Im installing this alpine and trying to do the same but it has 2 wires, 1 for parking brake and one for foot brake lead. The instruction say after wiring them you need to:
1 bring car to complete stop and engage parking brake
2 keel pushing foot brake and release parking brake one then engage it again
3 when parking brake is engaged for second time release foot brake

Ive tried grounding both but didnt work. Does anyone know of a way to wire it so that it will work with the parking brake down?

Thanks

You are going to need something like this http://www.amazon.com/PAC-TR7-Univer.../dp/B0002J22BO

I saw on some other forums people talking about using them and that they werent really that reliable and would tend to stop working. I went with a creative solution, 2 small switches which are hiden but easily accessable. One wired to the foot brake and another to the parking brake wires off the headunit..now all i have to do is flip the switches on and off and i get a display with the e brake down..kinda ghetto but it works and without looking for the switches you would never know they are there. By the way anyone looking for a double din set up this is a great unit.
