No hook up guide

Your pink wire originating from your player should ultimately terminate at #30 on your fuse box located in the cabin, not to be confused with the high amperage fuse box located in your engine compartment. Should you eventually "go banana's" with the Parking Brake Sequence for your player, an independant trigger or toggle switch can be placed in-line to interrupt/bypass your parking brake. I hope this provides your solution....good luck my friend.

Hi prib....Thanks for the update and I'm glad to see that you have made so much progress. Let me do some research and I'll update you as soon as I have some definitive answers for you.

Hi prib...To be completely honest with you, this Parking Brake Sequence thing is absolutely driving me a bit batty. I read, digested, re-read, walked away to reset myself, and read again, but for the life of me I cannot comprehend the purpose, and therefore, has created a mental block on my end, which is preventing me from moving forward on your issue. IF YOU have an understanding of this single concept/theory, please update your post and educate me so the needle on the record in my brain stops skipping, and I can become productive in this issue again. I can see in my previous post that I mentioned a trigger or toggle switch, but again, this Parking Sequence....WHY...AI YAI YAI!!!!!

Hi prib...see what I mean? Just couldn't move forward...ok, your amp. Just to confirm, the plugs that you are using to connect to your amp originate from above the Harness on your Player correct?

I'll toss in some information while I wait for response to my amp hookup question.

This may sound silly, but after you insert a disc of any kind, you are selecting CD as your source and physically pressing 'start' correct?

On the bottom of your Player, towards the center, there's a button labled "5/2-6CH/RDM", for CD playback, press and hold this button to select between output modes.

The pinhole to reset to factory default is located on the far bottom/right corner.

Just came to mind but I need to check the voltage/amperage and open/closed. I think we can do away with the ebrake altogether by, if compatible, terminating your pink wire to your acc fuse. Well...you get the idea of where I'm headed. I'll toss in some information while I wait for response to my amp hookup question.

prib...check to ensure that the wire originating from your player to amp is Blue and White, and not solid blue. Make sure you start your trace from the player itself just in case your after-market harness morphs the colors after cabling. prib...check to ensure that the wire originating from your player to amp is Blue and White, and not solid blue.

Ok prib...if you'd like to override the ebrake and bypass it, ground your pink to your Antenna Out. This site in phase is high enough up the food chain to provide your ground fault before the bypass can be detected by the unit. Remember, the ebrake seq is there so you don't watch videos while driving...ahem Ok prib...if you'd like to override the ebrake and bypass it, ground your pink to your Antenna Out.

Let's redo this ebrake bypass so you still have the safety feature. Install a single pull double throw rocker switch(neg/pos/out) that has an LED indicator for current drain, and terminate your Pink wire to the Out terminal. This will preserve the safety feature, and you're just using the switch to simulate your ebrake sequence. This way, you won't have to rush and repair your ebrake, then eventually we can install a new unit in your new vehicle that you purchased with the funds received from your insurance company Let's redo this ebrake bypass so you still have the safety feature.

Hi prib....ok, the theory to the amp wire issue is that.....your amp IS fine in Radio Mode, so, possibly, your Antenna Switch Wire, is mistakenly being used for your Amp Switch Wire, thus, only allowing power to freely flow to the amp when the antenna is needed.

Hi prib...the (plan) for your Pink Ebrake wire is to mount it to a rocker switch w/LED, which must be purchased. (I originally said to ground to Ant. Wire, but let's nix that idea altogether)

I think that your Amp and Ant leads have been swapped in error as follows:

Blue/White Antenna Lead originating from your Player;
I believe that this blue/white lead is actually being routed to your Amp in error, which would explain why your amp is allowed power only when in RADIO mode.

Solid Blue Amp Lead originating from your Player;
I believe that this wire is erroneously being mated with your existing antenna wire.

==========================================

The plan for the rocker switch w/LED (to be purchased). The switch should have 3 posts as follows: Ground, Positive, Out/Acc/Power.
My idea is to mount your Pink ebrake lead from your player to the Out/Acc/Power post of this switch, and use this switch to perform the ebrake sequence. In practice, this switch is just an extension of your ebrake. I prefer that you use this method of 'override', in order to preserve the safety feature of the ebrake sequence, so that if you loan your vehicle, or your kids use it, you can leave the switch in the off position, disabling the (main)DVD while driving. (when wiring the Positive Post of the switch, I would terminate it with either numbers 11 or 15 of your fuse panel, which are both Accessory, Instrument Panel fuses) Hi prib...the (plan) for your Pink Ebrake wire is to mount it to a rocker switch w/LED, which must be purchased.

Hi prib...YEEHAH to amplified music! About the rocker switch.....Well, it would be MY personal preference to incorporate this switch permanently in all installs having this safety feature, mainly due to ease of use AND installation, and to prevent unneccessary wear on the ebrake cable. Not to mention that I like excuses to add more switches and shiny accessories. As for ease of use, my understanding is that you're not only required to perform a sequence, but this sequence is also timed. And that is where I think the switch would definately of assistance.
