Bypass How can we bypass the dvd monitor response too the brake line so passengers can veiw videos while driving ?

Im guessing since this is an in dash dvd player your trying to bypass the emergency brake so it will work with the vehicle in drive. If this is the case all you have to do is take the wire that goes to the emergency brake and ground it somewhere.

some radios are stupid and look only for a voltage on the pin and says yep the brake is on

some radios are clever and look for voltage on the brake pin and also the virecles speed ect

so i recomend that you first connect the brake pin on the radio to ground and test the radio
if it doesnt work then conenct 12V to the pin and see if it works

i recomend that you get someone in the passengers seat and go out for a quick drive to make sure

my radio is the clever one and it knows when the car is moving or not

You will have to connect the brake wire which is pink to the the ground wire.

if you have to ask this you shouldnt be attempting it as youll prolly end up killing yourself !

pay an electrician friend to do it as u need to know which switch you have to piggy from.

better check on your dc wiring system make sure u have fixed them tightly

HOOK IT TO THE GROUND WIRE (BLACK)

There should be an option on your head unit to turn safe mode off. If this fails, you need to trace the parking brake wire that runs from your head unit back to the parking brake switch and disconnect it. This is illegal in some contries and therefore not recommended.

It is both dangerous and illegal to watch video while driving. I don't think FixYa would endorse such hacks. Please understand this lock is provided for the safety of the driver, passengers in the car and other vehicles and pedestrians.
Sorry :(

Hi,

Normally, the emergency/parking brake has to be activated/engaged for the video player to operate.

By bypassing, you are simulating this condition even if in reality, the emergency/parking brake is not activated/engaged.

Solution > ground the video player's brake sensor wire rather than connect it to its intended connection point.

In some brands/model/versions of the video player, this would be light green (Pioneer, Clarion, JVC), green (Kenwood),

In some other rands/model/versions of the video player, there would be a bypass switch underneath a sticker, others would need a special adapter, still others have bypass option/feature in the menu/setup and some would require a toggle switch that would connect the dvd brake wire from positive to ground.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. A reminder pls, in some regions bypassing is not allowed.

Good luck and kind regards.
