Video playback while driving - James S - 13-04-2020
Just got a new head unit, it says I have to connect a wire to the handbrakeight cable, and then put on/take off/put on mt handbrake so I can watch a video. Is there anyway round this?

If you just ground it to the chassis that normally bypasses that feature

That's what I did with mine and videos play just fine while driving...

Could also connect it to the rem (blue cable)

Do not do this! Most stereos are looking for earth not 12v.
I know the new pioneers need a relay putting in but not direct 12v

Ah sorry the DVD in my brothers car was after a 12v

I think I attached mine when I had it to the earth of the radio and it worked fine

I have the new pioneer appradio and it just goes to earth too
The american versions are different though, it's a software thing

Yeah I fitted one for a lad on here, you have to fit a relay powered by the amp delay power wire to fool the stereo.
