My buddy just bought a Dual in dash cd/dvd player with a 7 inch touch screen. He got it installed at Best Buy and they have it set up so that the DVD will not play unless its in park with the e-brake set. The reason is because texas law says it cant be visible to the driver. He bought it for the kids and and now its kinda pointless. Is there any way to re-wire it so that it plays in drive. Thanks in advance.

 

Not postive on the Dual, but on the Jensens all you had to do was ground the parking brake wire.

 

+1. Ground the parking brake wire to the chassis.

 

yeah its really easy...like everyone said...just find which wire is the parking brake ground wire (look in the manual) and then ground it or leave it ungrounded....thats what I did with my avn5500

 

i'll let him know. thanks for the help. i'm sure he'll be happy that he didnt waste $600

 

he wasted $600 considering he could of bought a kenwood off ebay for the same price

 

lol

 

I Just connected mine to a ground, works just fine

 

Does anyone know if this works for the Clarion675VD. I have one on order and then I found out this trick doesnt work.

 

John, I have the same problem(Dual Unit), my manual says it has to see a switch function, Like the function of the parking brake switch. Let me know if the grounding of the wire works. (is your parking brake wire a yellow wire?) Let me know if it he gets it to work. Thanks
