Just fitted one of these ----------->
And i was just wondering if there was anyway of geting round the parking Brake wire issue?

I.E........ so the dvd can be watched while driving (not by me but by the wife )

I have a feeling there is a way around it but i don't want to go connecting it to a (+) wire and blowing it up!

Please help!

Does it not just need to be earthed ????

MrBush

I don't know, isn't the parking brake sensor is just a switchable earth? i wasn't too sure and didn't want to go connecting it up wrong..........

It must be as only has one wire to the switch. Just checked wiring diagram. It is a switched earth.

MrBush

So giving it a perminent earth should trick it into thinking that the parking brake is on?

Cheers for the assistance m8!!!

Much abliged!

Yep

Lost?

yep, just wire it to the chassis, or other suitable earth point.

I have heard of people wiring to a swith on the dash, any sign of plod, flick the switch

i took the plug off the earth on the cigarette lighter, got some bare wire on the handbrake wire, pushed the plug back onto the earth with wire, held firmly in place and job done.

MrBush

All done now chaps!

Thanks for the advise!
