I have a jensen VM 9412 in dash dvd i'm trying to install in my boats cabin i can't get it to work due to the pink parking brake wire . Where do i hook it up?

disconnect the pink wire from the parking brake (the one coming out of radio) and put a switch on it going to ground. turn switch on off on. youll get picture then

pink

put it directly to ground.

i am not too sure what u realy want. but if the pink wire is connected to the parking brake u can only view videos when the parking brake is engaged but if you want to view videos all the time or anytime just disconnect the pink wire from its current connection and reconnect it to the vehicle's chasis

Here's what you need to know: DVD head units have one extra wire in their wiring harnesses, compared to a standard CD head unit. On the Jensen, 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 mine, 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 the manner of the e-brake cycle I mentioned earlier.

if you want to play dvds well you drive you just need to put parking brake wire (pink) to ground no code needed

turn on the player, start the radio option, go into the setup menu, tap the language tab, ON THE REMOTE press "stop, stop, 5,4,3,2,1" This will bring up the secret menu, you do not need to connect the pink wire

If you have the VM9410 then there is a way to play dvd's even when you are driving. You must ground out the pink wire in the harness. This allows you to watch dvd's even when driving. good luck!

YOU DONT NEED TO HOOK THE PINK WIRE UP JUST PUT IN A DVD AND TYPE IN 543210. THIS IS A BYPASS CODE SO YOU CAN PLAY DVD WITHOUT HOOKING UP THE PINK WIRE. YOU MUST HOLD DOWN THE 0 FOR 4 SECONDS WHEN PUTTING IN THE CODE.

jensen double din dvd monitor it a uv8020 model to bypass the e brake or parking brake
