Isn't the brown GRND?

What are the labels on the free ones you have in your hand? Failing that - if you look at the wireouts for your audio unit it'll tell you what pin is ground. You can then take that connection to your wire (nothing stopping you connecting an extra wire into the ISO connection loom)

You're going to watch a dvd while driving!!

Under Regulation 109 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, it is an offence to drive a motor vehicle on a road if the driver is in such a position as to be able to see, whether directly or by reflection, a television screen showing anything other than information:

No it makes the dvd player work, before i only got audio no visual, but the whole system only lets the dvd side work when the handbrakes on so no law breaking as i don't intend to drive with my handbrake on all the time!

Fair do's.

If you're still having trouble this should help.

Hi shorty, ground is a thick black wire bolted to the console brace to the left if you look in the big gap where ur stereo was u will see it, if u don't have one, make one undo one of the brass bolts and make your own earth cable, and the DVD player will work as a cd player if you don't connect the green wire, by law the green wire is ment to go to the handbrake so the screen only becomes working when u r parked, if you connect it straight to ground it will work all the time, if u get pulled and the police see it on playing a film and is visible from the drivers seat u will have the car taken of u there n then!
