I bought a sumas media sm-30bt i want to know how to by pass the parking brake so i can watch my movies when im driving
Most wiring harnesses have a solid orage wire for illumination of the radio and also have an orange wire with a white stripe for dimming purposes. Most radios do not use this dimming feature. Connect the brake wire to this wire and your able to watch your movies whenever you want. All the wire is looking for is a signal. It cannot differentiate between a parking brake signal and a non-parking brake signal.
I have this model sumas 30bt and worked in a stereo shop for the past 10 year an all i did was ground the wire to the chasisas on the fram of the dash and i hooked my friends stereo up the same way i have a 2009 fusion and there is a place to put the wire into the fran of the car and my friend has a 2008 mustang and i did the same thing and it works great i hope this helps every thing on the stereo works good even the ipod works good the back up camera works good the blue tooth works good it my not play all ur dvds but it is not a bad stereo.
SOURCE: how do i bypass the parking brake switch in order for my video to play
yea it will work if u leave the car running but once u shut off the car and turn it back on it doesnt work there has to be another way

STEP ONE. Ground the E-Brake wire.
No matter which method you use, you must ground the brake detection wire. I suggest you tap it into the ground wire on your wiring harness (ensures a good ground).
FACTORY RESET METHOD (not permanent)
1 Go to the Menu
2 Get to the Settings Menu
3 Select <yes> to Reset to Factory Settings.
Have recently heard complaints of this method not being permanent, as this is needed whenever they want to watch a DVD. Also, radio and screen angle presets are lost.
METHOD 2
AUDIO CD METHOD (Permanent)
1 Insert Audio CD
2 Press PLAY
3 Press STOP twice on remote
4 Enter 26604 on remote
5 Press ENTER
6 Take out Audio CD and Insert a DVD
----------------
METHOD 3
DVD METHOD (Permanent)
** Insert a DVD
** Let it play until you hear sound
** Press STOP twice on remote
** Enter 26604
** Press ENTER
The blue warning screen should immediately go away after pressing the last digit of "26604." Still press ENTER as a precaution.
The 3rd method seems to work with most of the duals
