bypass green wire in dash tv

i just installed an in dash tv in my tacoma and it has a green wire that connects to the parking break and i cant play videos unless i have my parking break on, does anyone know how to bypass the wire??

 

Most units just need to have it grounded. I grounded mine to the radio harness ground. Some require a switch. (basically have the ground activated after the stereo is powered. Not simutaneously.

 

yeah i tried grounding it but it didnt work. what switch are you talking about?

 

That's all the parking brake does is connect it to ground. So either you had a bad ground or there is another required input like a Vehicle Speed Sensor wire.

 

What kinda in dash tv you got? pics?

 

i dont have any pics,but its the pioneer avh p4100

 

from what i hear is the pioneers u need a bypass thingy... forgot the name... looking it up now

 

damnit i cant find the right one... its made by PAC tho

 

There are some "bypass" units on ebay.

From reading some other forums you either have to power up the unit then ground it. Or do this with a relay


85&87 - ground
86 - remote turn on (solid blue from pioneer harness)
30 - parking brake wire (green from pioneer harness)

first place i heard about it was my local audio shop... they were out that day... i have the same unit tried a bunch of different grounds actually found one that worked but my A/C wouldnt work, haha

 

not sure if this is the right one but it should give u some idea what i was talking about

 

yeah i looked up PAC bypass on ebay and everything was alpine video bypass

 

yeah thats the one i saw

 

yea not sure if itll make a difference or not

 

thanks for your help

 

good luck and tell me how it goes as i would like to make that mod at some point

 

okay will do, i read in some other forum that a relay would work and ground it in two locations, the remote wire and the parking brake.

 

All I did with the pioneer DVD in the 4 runner was a temp fix till i got a toggle switch was ground a wire to the truck and twist the two wires together. Get in truck, undo wires, put back together and twist, hit ok on screen BAM! video on the road. Still need to get that wired right. I was out of town when I put it in and just ghetto'd it for right now.

 

so two grounds with a toggle switch should work?

 

Can the lights on the pioneer avh p4100 be turned red or orange?
