help with wiring dvd head unit "saftey features"
i'm replacing pretty much all the audio equipment in my car and putting in a monitor in the center head unit. but these damn units have these "safety" features where you can't watch dvd's when the car is in motion. i just looking for alternate power sources to hook up this unit. thanks

Ususally they have you attach a wire to the Parking brake sensor. Which puts out 12V when the parking brake is engaged. So just hook that wire up to a 12V switched output so the head unit thinks that the parking brake is always on.

or just wire it like your supposed to, you can always back off the tention on the E-brake so you can trigger the DVD,[1 or 2 "clicks on the E-brake handle] but not engage the brakes themselfs
