Just picked up an in dash DVD/screen combo made by Pioneer. Problem is, the video output is not operable while driving due to a park brake cord installed by the dealer. Unfortunately, I purchased the in-dash due to space constraints in my truck, but now, while driving, even my passengers cannot watch the screen! Is there anyway to disable this feature? I.E have the screen have a DVD video display WHILE driving?
I HAD THE SAME TV TILL IT WAS STOLEN A MONTH AGO.. JUST GROUND IT OUT.. DONE DEAL.. IVE MADE 16 HOUR TRIPS WATCHING MOVIES NON STOP.. I WONT GO ON ROAD TRIPS NOW WITH OUT A TV

just installed a avn 5510 eclipse head unit and i had the same problem, i just wired it to the ground wire i wired the head unit to.. if you do that, uve bypassed teh parking brake and you should be fine
There is a wire going to somewhere near your parking brake that is getting power, when the parking brake is set. You just need to remove that wire and ground the wire to anywhere metal on the console or truck. So that the wire is not getting any power or signal.
I had to wire mine through a switch to ground. it wouldnt play unless the parking brake was switched on then off(not grounded then grounded). I have a pioneer flip up so it could be different, but I doubt it.
