hooking up video to parking brake switch

hooking up video to parking brake switch

Postby blackedout » Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:11 pm

So i just got a touch screen deck that is capable of playing video the other day. I hooked it all up and it works great, but there is a yellow/blue wire that needs to be connected to some wire of the parking brake. Any help on which wire and how to get to it would be great thanks!

what brand and model number is it? if just grounding it all the time doesn't work you'll have to bypass it another way.

it is a Dual XDVD700. It says on there to connect it to the parking brake switch because of the fact that it only works when the e-brake is up. So i dont believe i can just ground it but not completely sure

i have a Dual XDVD700. I think that i need to actually connect it to the parking brake switch because of the fact that the video only works when the parking brake is up.

They tell you to connect it to the p-brake so that you can only use the video function
when the brake is engaged. It saves the company from liability.
You can ground it wherever you want.
Trust me, I'm a technician.
