Hooking stereo to parking brake




By Becca0281 on Jun 09, 2008

" "
I am trying to hook my stereo to my parking brake. I am not sure if I am hooking it up right. I am hooking the stereo to the blue cable on the brake switch. Is this the right cable? If not where would the correct one be located. I have a 2003 dodge durango. Please Help. Rebecca

Don't even bother hooking it up to the e-brake. You can bypass the e-brake. Take the peach-colored wire and ground it to metal inside the dash. Put a toggle switch inline on the wire and mount it somewhere you can reach it. When you get the blue screen when starting a movie, open the switch for 3-5 seconds, then close it again to reapply the ground. Your movie will start up, and you can then drive away with it playing. The bonus is that you can play a DVD while driving, and you also don't have to worry about tapping into the wrong wire and potentially damaging the head unit.
