Default Where is the hand brake cable?

Hi guys

As above really? I bought a new kenwood double din head unit which can play dvds but only when the hand brake is applied, can anyone tell me the best place for wiring the unit to the brake wire

Don't bother with the hand brake cable ,every time you release it the picture stops .just use a ground behind the unit, they way it stays on an you can watch your favourite porno while driving .

It's just one of the single colours of the plug , mine was green ,I just ground it job done , I've seen videos where people hook it to a switch to confuse the radio , but it's just a waste of time , find a existing ground an use that.

yea mine is like a very light green colour. Is that all there is to it just find a current ground point and hook the wire to it?

I've also got tv capability so deeply comsidering a freeview box off ebay

That simple mate,
