I am having some trouble with my avic n2's parking brake wire it tells me that it is not connected properly?I have tried grounding it and I have tried giving it a constant 12 volts?Thanksfor the help

 

The parking brake input wire needs to see a ground when the parking brake is on.

You do know there is a sequence to getting the video to work when watching DVDs....

1- Step on foot brake, and hold it.

2- Set park brake.

3- Release park brake.

4- Set park brake again.

5- Release foot brake

Try that and see what happens. 94

 

fcm giving out good information

 

I knew about the parking brake having to be activated three times but how does the pioneer see you activate the standard brake?

hey fcm those are directions for alpine, good looking out though. every pioneer we install at work says that when you first put them in. i dont know how long it takes but they eventually stop doing it, its like they have to learn your park brake usage. i dunno weird , give it a couple weeks though.

 

I have been told so many different things with this headunit its making me sick lol I even spoke to pioneer and they told me that its a software issue and that the new cds will fix it?He also told me that the video will work for now even though the message is displayed but it isnt working and I have it grounded with an eye loop?

 

this is all you will need,

if you soldered the two pins on the bottom of the unit to "bypass" the unit, the warning comes up most of the time.

Ok thanks Fcm I got it working today and i also spoke to a pioneer tech over the phone.He told me that it will always say that the e brake message on startup until the software is upgraded to 1.2 so we will see?Thanks again
