Default How do I wire my radio to play video when driving? (Or at all)

I have a pioneer AVH-3200bt in my 91 prelude. Every time I try to play a music video or something it says I can't watch the video while driving. So it wont let me see it. It will do this even if I'm not driving. Can anyone tell me what color wire I need to look for from the back of the head unit and where I should put it? Does it just need to be grounded or what?

I meant to ask how to view video when I was parked. Sorry. The thing literally says "You can't view this content while driving" even though I'm not driving.

The green wire need to go to the parking brake.

If wired correctly, I bet if you pull your E-brake while parked and tryed it you could view video.

The back of the radio has a fuse. Isn't that enough? Why would I put a relay on a ground for the parking brake? It also has a relay on the power wire. I think it'll be okay.
