Parking brake bypass?
 

I just bought a dvd player(VR3 brand with a built in 3in lcd screen),and i can not get it to play the dvds.I get an error message that reads -Parking brake..........I looked at the owner's manual and there is a wire from the reciever that i need to connect to the -neg wire on the parking brake.. anyone here know how I can bypass the problem and get the unit to play the dvds on my 69? thanks

I think you can ground that wire with one of your other ground wires.Your tricking it to think your parking break is on.Mine was tied in with another wire.

Did that work?

I can watch mine while I drive.I have a flip up Eclipse.I'm pretty sure I just ran that wire to a ground.I hope someone else chimes in just to be sure.If the manual tells you to run it to the brake ground,then a ground is a ground.Good luck.

can you post up a picture of what your dvd player looks like in your truck? I'm thinking about putting one in mine.

I havn't installed it yet ...just checking to see if everything worked....I bought it for $60 from this guy @ a carwash....looks brand new so i took a risk...and yes everything worked(lucky me). I will post the pics once it is in there.
