Don't buy that thing. If it has a wire for the parking brake(I dont know about that unit) just ground it to your car, it works on my Sony unit, hope that helps. |

What do you mean ground the wire to the car...like actually splice the wire and connect it to any metal? |

Like, take the wire that your supposed to splice into the parking break wire, and instead of splicing it and connecting it to the parking break wire, take it and ground it(like you would the groud wire for an amp) |

First of all, just because grounding the brake leads worked for your Sony doesn't mean it will work for the Alpine. Alpine's new models REQUIRE the brake leads to be 'pulsed' three times before the head unit will play DVD's, eliminating the option to just ground the wires. Therefore buying the $25 bypass unit from Ebay that pulses for you seems to be the best way. |

yeah, not all indash screens work the same.
although you just hook up a momentary switch to that wire and ground the other end then just press it three times.
provided all it needs is 3 ground pulses.

i talked to a few installers and they led me to believe most cars grounding the parking brake is all that is necessary. well when your parkning brake is on that just grounds out the 3v on the brake wire. so grounding the brake wire to the stereo just tells the stereo the parking brake is on all the time. it worked on my kenwood, the oem nav for the nissan and my gm hummer. most nav systems wont let you change route while driving.(or play movies)
dont look for the parking brake wire for the car look for the brake wire of the stereo. so telling us the car you have does nothing, more important is what stereo do you have. |

i cut the wire on the radio that went to the parking break and grounded it. the wireing diagram for the radio told me which wire it was. not all nav systems use the parking break as the safety but it is the most common. |

That parking break feature , Does that mean the parking brake must be on in order to change routes while driving ? 'Cause my navigation system will only allow me to make changes while stoped ( parking brake applied not necessary). After stopping I can cruise at like 2-3 MPH until it finally will not allow me to make any changes.What I'm saying is, Is there any other types of feautures, Navigation systems use ? I'm trying to bypass this because although its a good idea for safety, it can also be helpful while drving sometimes. |

yes there are other types of safety features. if you can cruze at 2-3 mph and still use your navigation system you don't have a barking break based safety system. the other prevalent system i know about is connected to the drive line and should not be removed. what you are looking for is made by pacific accessory corp. and will have a toggle switch. when turned on you can manipulate your navigation system while moveing. but you want to turn it back off when not entering data because the navigation uses the data from the drive line.

look up your car audio system and be sure there is an on off toggle. |

I have a Kenwood KVT717 DVD and I am trying to bypass the brake also. Now, you all are saying ground the parking brake wire itself to the car? Or take the parking brake wire from the reciever and ground it to the car? |

ground the stereo wire that says parking break. do not connect that wire to the parking break. if it is already connected cut it an then ground the side that goes to the stereo. the idea here is to fool the stereo into thinking the break is always on, you dont really want to change the actual break wirring. if you want pictures let me know as i am sure my kenwood is pretty similar to yours. |

First of all, Alpine uses a two trigger system, you have to either use the PAC box or put switches in for these units. |

Roni,
i have the 915 kenwood and am quite happy, makes the h2 and touareg factory nav units really look bad. when the kenwood was in the touareg i used more of the features, now that it is in a sports car i dont use all the inputs.
do you really need to have satelite radio, a dvd player, second dvd player for the navigation disc, ipod input, an auxillary video/audio inupt, and a second audio input. plus the regular am/fm radio. then thow in th multi zone features. it is over kill for my sports car but in the suv most of that got used. for the right car it is an awsome stereo, had it hooked to the factory amp in the touareg and it was fine, the factory porsche amp didnt do justice so i needed to upgrade but really this stereo needs to be in a minivan or people moover to use all the features. dvd's look great, so much audio adjustability i might buy a second i like it so much. worst part is how bad it makes the factory units look in my other cars. come to seattle and i will take you for a spin. |

Hey Greg, I just got the Kenwood KVT-717 indash unit. I was wondering do I have to ground the parking break wire, or could I just leave it unconnected, some dude told me that it would work just leaving it unconnected but im not sure about that. THanks MAn |

mike,
the reason you want to ground the brake wire is to trick the head unit into believing the parking break is on. if the head unit believes the parking break on you will be able to program new addresses while driving just like when you are in park. i tried just cutting the wire and that was not enough. good luck with it. |

some units use a mercury feature so that when moving the mercury sets off something to tell it its not stopped. and then when your stopped the mercury settles and it will let you play dvds |

hey people, i have a AVIC-N2 Pioneer, i hooked it up properly, and when i by slice the parking break wire, and attach it to the "Parking Break" Wire of the unit, it work up to 10 miles, and after that it won't let me see the video while driving. I read the old posting stating that i need to ground it instead, i tried that too, but it does not work. Also for the NAV, i can't even program any destination address. Any ideas on how i can fix this issue? |

I have a Jensen VM9411 In-Dash DVD Receiver with 7" Motorized Screen in my 95 Subaru Legacy. How do you connect the parking brake wire from the head unit to the parking brake? I tried connecting it to the parking brake switch and the wire but nothing happens. The wiring diagram says something about connecting it to the switch and that switch is connected to ACC? or something. Please help me, I really want to watch video and play Gran Turismo 4 in my car. |

Scott, in order for you to Play DVD or change your navigation on the Avic N2. You'll need to solder the chip on the bottom of the unit which is covered by the tape. You'll also need to ground the parking brake wire from you deck for it to work. If your solder falls out and short your deck, Pioneer will void you warranty. There is no easy way to get around the N2. Good Luck. So far so good on my. |

i had the same question as I am about to purchase the vm9511ts. I know the 9510 could just ground the wire but I read the the manual for the 9511 and it says you have to follow the sequence of
a. Release parking brake for 2 seconds.
b. Reapply the parking brake for 2 seconds.
so will just grounding the wire work? |

My 9511 is the same as Dereck Neal's. I have to release it for 2 seconds and then reapply it. Will grounding the wire work? Where exactly do I ground it? Do I ground it to metal that is connected to the head unit or just any bolt attached to the frame? |

ty, you can't just ground the ground wire on the AVIC-N2. The N1 you can, but not the N2. I have had both the N1, which I grounded the wire, and the N2, which is the one I currently have in my 05 Duramax diesel, you have to solder the two contacts on the bottome of the stereo in order to have the video play or navigate you direction while you are moving. |
