None, yet!

Hey guys,

I just installed a Kenwood DDX6706S Double-Din receiver in my 2008 Taco, but am missing Android Auto because it wants the parking brake detection feature. Do I really have to do that, or is there an override or something available? I watched a YouTube video about just connecting it to ground, and will do that if it is the solution, but if there's a better way I'd appreciate a heads-up. Thanks gang.

Connecting the green wire(parking brake) to ground is the easiest way to do it.
