Question Alpine W200 Questions
Ok just got the W200 tonight and am wondering what are my options for bypassing the parking brake so i have the ablitiy to watch dvds for my passengers. Not sure if I can ground the parking brake, use a switch to turn it off or on, or by the pac 7. Also I would like to know where to connect the wires for my parking brake and the foot brake and what is a good 12v source for the red ignition wire?
Thanks for the help.

Get the PAC-TR7... It works right out of the box and it will keep you from having to cut into your parking brake and foot brake wiring.

For a 12 Volt ignition source, why don't you use the one in the factory radio harness ? That is what I did.

BTW - If your passenger is watching a DVD while you are driving and a law enforcement officer sees you, you are going to get a ticket. Be careful at night - it is very easy to tell that a video is playing on the screen from outside.

Just buy a wire harness and it will be yellow in the harness. Easy to program TR7 when you get the hang of it.. If you need help Pm me.
