wire the safety wire that goes to your ebrake to the power antenna....

hypntcpimp · 10-19-2007, 05:29 PM

there should be a pink wire, hook that up to the ground wire

malloyboy1 · 10-19-2007, 05:46 PM

if its already in the car and you dont wanna tear it apart you could be an idiot and do what my buddy does........ pull the e-brake up just enough so it works and adjust your rear brakes to that point. PLEASE dont do this

depending on the headunit you have you have to bypass it differently. i have an Alpine IVA-W200 and with that series you gotta press the brake, raise the parking brake depress the brake to use the DVD player however they sell bypasses for it. i would like to know what kinda headunit you have?

the head unit i have is a VRVD630 theres a brown wire that says e-brake -12vdc

gary · 10-20-2007, 02:11 AM

ground it and call it a day man.

Put a wire tap on the ebrake wire. then tap that wire into the ground. It works.

12vdc..... basically any power wire sends the signal to let it play, power antenna, illumination, dimmer, ACC, or REM.....

gary · 10-20-2007, 11:09 AM

ummm he said "-"12vdc If he were to hook it to power he will break something.

Probably. Just buy some wire tap ins from RadioShack and tap the ebrake wire to the ground.

I wouldn't do that either. IF your shop sets it up so that he can watch it while he's driving, and he gets into an accident with it on, you guys can get in some serious trouble for installing it like that. Just an FYI.

J.Ralli · 10-20-2007, 06:14 PM

I did it to my car and its worked fine ever since, that's both my gps and dvd player, wired into my power antenne, if I have to ill pull it apart and take pictures for you.... I think I know what I'm talking about

3000gtvr4tt · 10-21-2007, 10:45 PM

yo guys i just grounded it to a screw in the dash then secured it with a bolt to keep in place thanks a lot much easier than i thought lol thanks a lot

J.Ralli · 10-21-2007, 11:02 PM

word...

Isn't it against the law to do that? Watch dvd's while the car is moving, unless it is mounted behind the front seats
