I've never seen a code that allows it, but you can do it in the wiring harness. Most DVD head units have one extra wire in their wiring harnesses, compared to a standard CD head unit. On mine, it's a peach-colored wire, and is the activation wire for the DVD feature. During the installation, the instructions call for this wire to be tapped into the emergency brake indicator light wire. The reason is this:

The e-brake indicator light is what is called a "ground complete" circuit. That means that the bulb always has power applied, but when you pull the brake, that puts a ground to the wire and completes the circuit, allowing it to illuminate. The head unit sees this ground, and activates the DVD player.

In my Jensen unit, I simply ran this wire to a ground (I used a screw near the fuse box), and I put a switch on the wire, so I could break the ground contact at will. Jensen calls for a procedure to activate DVD playback. In their instructions, they tell you to select DVD from the option menu, and when the "lawyer screen" comes up (the one warning you to park before you watch a movie), you release the e-brake for 3-5 seconds, and then reapply it. To simulate that with the switch I used, I leave the switch closed (activated), and select DVD. Then I flip the switch "off" for 3-5 seconds, and flip it back "on". This tricks the head unit into thinking I put the e-brake off for a few seconds and then put it back on, and the movie will start. Then I can drive away.

Basically, ground the wire that is used for DVD activation, and put a switch inline on it. Then you can break and reapply the ground in whatever manner is required by the manufacturer of your head unit. If there is no off/on sequence with yours, as there is with mine, simply ground the wire to a screw inside the dashboard and you're done.

install a switch with one end going to ground and the other to the pink barking brake wire off the deck switch it to on"ground" for 3 seconds then off"no ground" for three seconds do this 3 times and then leaving it in the ground position and it will work but the car must be in park when you do this

I just got this same unit on thursday of last week and put it in myself. All you have to do is ground the pink wire out and it will work without having to put a bypass code in. Hope this works for you as well.

splice it to the bnlack neg power wire

you mean you are trying to pladvd's while driving??? if you are here you go thae the pink wire form the uv8020 splice it iwith the black wire neg power wire. and that should work if yo uneed picturs just let me know [email protected]

YOU CAN JUST GROUND THIS WIRE

You need to hook up the pink wire to a power wire. I myself have a switch in my cig outlet (which ran blue lights i had inside my car) running it so if i ever got pulled over i just pull out the switch and they cant prove i was playing a movie.

Most in car dvd players require a connection to the parking brake so it will not play a dvd while you are driving (in dash only). The easiest way around it is to run a 12v wire to the lead of the parking brake wire on the dvd player. With a constant 12v it should play when the ignition is in the on position.

I have a in dash DVD player too
Did you try view a MOVIE while you were driving
if not check the wire that connects to the park brake FUSE
it is located in the (fuse Panel of your car) check it make sure that it is not been pulled out or loose and check th fuse that it is it too to see if it is blown. If that doesn't work you remove the car battery cable to resest it or the RADIO memory fuse inthe car panel.
Or if it was installed by a PROFESSIONAL they should of tapped into the parking brake line..it is also located near the fuses.
And if this keeps happening the newer dvd players are set to have this saftey feature so YOU DO NOT WATCH MOVIE AND DRIVE.

BUT sure you could just put a toggle switch on the wrie that connects the parking brake and BYPASS IT ;)

i see you closed our chat session?

Hello MIIkXlong,

Which wire? please be more descriptive of your problem, and give details as to what you are requesting, I will be glad to help you, but I have to have more information to do so.

Thank you,

Is the parking break wire connected to the parking break switch?

It must start out in the off position and then when you want to watch the video put it on. There should not be any more to it than that. You may have an intermittant connection on the parking brake wire that makes you think there is some type of sequence because the first time you set the parking brake it did not work. I would check and make sure the parking brake is always engaging the wire to ground when the parking brake is pressed.

Check fuse on dvd because there is no reason that does not work if the new installations carried out and if everything is well connected.

It should have a blue wire from the harness on the back of the player for turning on the amp, it may also be labeled "antenna" or "power antenna" or "P con". That is the one to run to the remote turn on of the amp.

what the codes\

Connecting the black cable in a good screw, sanding if possible to remove paint or dirt, and ready your noise Disappears

Check see if you get power to your j-Link cable. Blown fuse or some like that. Goodluck

Ground your parking brake wire(light green). Goodluck.
