u need it because without it you cant activate some setup menus but its also needed by law since it is used as a safety feature on the deck( so you cant watch DVDs will the car is in drive) I'm going to bypass them so i can use the DVD will the car is in drive.

just hook it up to a switch

Why a switch? Cant you just short the wires permanantly?

use a switch a toggle switch for the ground brake, and a push botton for the hand brake, it will be like 3 toggles and then a a push on the botton gives it a signal... OR get a Pac TR7 trigger that gives it a low impluse making it think it is there...

so get a constant wire and a ground wire hook one up too a toggle and the other to a push botton. and then the 2 cabels from the brain to either one.. and play with it alittle till it is easy for u or switch either of the 2 cables from the brain

Parking/e-brake: Underneath the center console. The wire is attached to a switch underneath the e-brake handle.

Foot brake: Sensor towards the top of the brake. You have to get underneath the dash to see it. The sensor screws in and has a wire attached to it.

well, you said that you wanted to bypass the saftey anyway, so why even bother with the brake lead?

ok i went and looked for the brake lead.....i took pics...

is it the wires coming out of that blue plug???

if so is it the green,white or red on???

thanks everybody for the help

id say it looks like one of those wires commin outa of the blue thing, get one of those continuity testors and see which ones lites up when you step on the brake.

altho just wired mine up to my headlights, too lazy to look for the brake lead..

I dont get it? why dont you place the wire that should be on the hand brake to any constant wire in the car. My screen is wired like that. I basically tapped into everything on my deck. This way it'll think the hand brake it on all the time.

lucanhookup · 03-05-2006, 05:59 PM

so just wire both wires up to a constant source??? positive or ground???
