New cars have a parking brake. Old cars have emergency brake and they all still should

They make a alpine micro bypass for 13 bucks on ebay and Amazon. Very easy to wire up. Blue wire to blue white alpine remote wire. Yellow wire to yellow blue alpine parking brake wire. And black to alpine black ground wire. Green only hook up if your alpine has it. Your ilx w650 doesn't so leve green unhooked. I have the newer model of yorh stereo the ilx w670 and it works great. No need for a switch. Just turn radio on and every time you have all controls and can passenger can watch video while driving. Don't watch while driving of course. But this works. Complete bypass parking break

You don't need a module, here in Australia all we do is connect it to the ground wire and it bypasses it

Much appreciated, works like a charm!

Almost forgot great job on explaining how switches work. As a mechanic and electrician I already know but it is great info for the people that don't know.

Nice work around I was about to just tie it into remote might work but might not. This video just saved me the time of finding out if it might or might not work and going with a way that does work. Lol thanks for saving me some time.

Well done sir all ecept for you explaining where you connected the little bypass adapter???

I got an $8 switch from canadiantire and wired the parking brake wire to the switch and to the ground. You toogled the switch on off on and it works. The alpine wants a ground that turns of off and on is all.

Biggest pain in the ass radio I’ve ever bought. Wired this shit up and yea it worked. Still tried returning it but sonic electronix customer service SUCKS. Forced to keep it, still not impressed with the unit.

No, don't use "wire nuts."😂😂😂😂

The disclaimer at the end killed me

You can do the same thing by connecting the yellow/blue wire from the radio to the illumination wire Orange/white if memory serves me right and not have to buy the bypass at all. Then you would just turn your headlights on during the daytime and your bypassed. On my truck I just grounded this wire. I ordered the Alpine W650 radio and I’m going to tie the yellow/blue wire to the black ground wire and I believe that will also bypass it without paying $15 for an unnecessary part.. I’ll test it before I put the radio into the dash but I’m confident it will work Never access the settings or play videos while driving or anything else that would cause you to take your eyes off the road. This just simplifies the install. Question: Do you have any issues with Bluetooth phone calls whereas the person on the other end hears an echo

What signal does the wire want a positive or negative? What is pin 5 on the dlc positive or negative? I've wasted a lot of time watching multiple videos and no will just say hey this wire wants to see a ground or battery voltage or 5volt reference nothing

Thanks

Link to product doesn't work

Why not just add a relay? You can have pin 30 to ground and pin 87 to head unit. When you turn the ignition on the relay would click the two together for you and no manual switch required 🤷

Is it pin 5 on all vehicles? Another video I think the guy was in a kia, he used pin 5 on obd as well.. Im desperate because I can't even order a bypass in canada..If someone does in fact read this, With the deck having no access to the settings, does that mean the usb won't play music either because I can't get it to play from multiple different usb sticks in fat format nor my mp3 players, and well since its basically locked out I can't even mess with android auto... And I think my s6 is too old for android auto anyways because its also saying its installed but not working lol.. Just problem after problem.. All I want is to play my mp3 music and nothing but the radio works.. Im in a small northern ontario city, covid destroyed the local shops etc.. There is one car audio installer left surviving and his price for install is outrageous, like all other service industries or contractors. He wants 800 to put in 4 speakers, the head unit, 2 amps and a sub.. If It wasn't for this god damn minus 10 weather, spine busted 6 ways to sunday and no garage, I'd have most of this done by now.

I just bought this stereo but bought the brake bypass $10 bucks and saved me all the trouble seems to work I guess just trying to figure out how to watch movies still messing with it

There's such a thing as a momentary off switch. The circuit is normally closed, but it opens while the switch is held. This is the best way to do this.

Bro you overthinking it. Just wire it to a toggle switch. Then when you need to access settings just flip it off then back on. Simple as that.

where is this parking brake wire. I have a 2005 Ranger

Another option if you have it, wire it to the illumination wire and you can access your settings any time you turn your headlights off!

Can you splice into the wire that goes into pin 5?

Hi, Does it have 3 way audio crossover support? I was going to buy it but if it does not have 3 way I will not buy it

Can't you just ground out the park brake wire?

Can i use a fuse tap and put it in my stopping brake light?

Good yop. tnqz

Thanks for the video.

Can you play say TH-cam with this model alpine?

You DO NOT have to wire to OBD2 harness guys. FIRST huge credit given to Brock. Much deserved dude. Honestly never could've done it without your discovery of the HU requiring a switched signal. That said, I installed mine today. I watched this video then I experimented around myself. I asked myself, if it does not require a live current but only a open/closed signal, why not just wire to same chassis of vehicle with a toggle switch in the circuit? Voila, your welcome guys. Ground to chassis with a simple toggle on/off switch. Thanks again Brock.

Never use the OBD for such stuff. That is a totally wrong advice. Why so complicated? The Radio already has ground!!! Just splice it into the ground of the radio itself or even more easy, ground it to the chassis itself! These are the vids which teach the wrong things to people!!! And by the way, older cars like this use a simple ground switch anyways for the parking brake or emergency brake signal. Just splice it into the parking brake and get rid of such hack solutions in the first place! NEVER ever use your OBD to mess around with such things. Its a direct line to your ECU and if you short something out it could potentially kill your ECU which will let you have a dead car and a very costly repair bill for a new ECU. The CAN Bus is a delicate system which does not like such things. Your last sentence is just ridiculous. If no one should replicate what you did and you are not responsible for possible damage why are you showing this then which such a wrong advice? The feature blocking with parking brake applied is not new folks. It is there since more than 20years already and as said above the parking brake signal switch is on 99% of the cars a ground switch hence if you ground this cable from the radio to ground it will do the same as the one from the parking brake. Don't forget that Alpine and others in the last years introduced the double set parking brake requirement. So you have to apply your parking brake, release it and apply it again to unlock the settings! This means it will not show you the settings on the first ground signal! You have to double activate it! If you dont want to press the button twice there are bypass modules available which do this for your automatically! They are cheap on Amazon and work.

This definitely works and if everyone tried I’m sure you see that. Thank you for your assisting clarifications.

sounds like no other than Mr. Steve-O manning the camera!!

I just did mine about 20 minutes ago I used a 2 poll switch and from the radio to the switch from the switch to a bolt. I turn the radio one hit the switch on the off then on again and it works. Just saying another way

Why don't you just ground the other wire

Or you can put a switch on the wire

Man I've been trying to get my Bluetooth working for a few weeks now. Thank you for this well instructed video. I was able to follow your instructions to now have my Bluetooth, and other functions unlocked.

Haha .. I hooked it to my illumination wire all I have to to is flick the headlights on and off and I'm good to go

Can't stand wire nuts for installation hardly any room in there as is I solder and heat shrink

My unit keeps shutting off when it plays for like 3 secs... parking break says it is on but its not...do i need to install the bypass??

You my friend are a life saver

some crazy wiring there

Thanks bro, these types of videos really help

With an older, 1970’s car with manual transmission and handbrake, would this bypass equipment work?

Aka Mickey Mouse. Pretty witty though.

"Im not liable for any damages" In other words: Please, I already spent $400 on a radio

What format did you use to play video from the USB or any software

Got a 95 camry and my parking break light is always on. Yes, the parking break works for the light is on- it never goes off- unless you turn the car off! Well, I am wondering what trouble I will run into. Thanks, Karl PS: just ordered the bypass and will install it. Case Closed! Thank you for your posting and video- gave you a like!

Just a small hack that worked on my dual radio was that when I touched the wire that goes to the parking brake on the metal bracket on the radio it worked. So I just grounded it to the radio and could watch movies when in any gear
