I'm glad this video is still helping people! This is very clearly an old video, and I have definitely learned a few things since then. I have been debating making new videos of actual how-to's and product reviews/demonstrations along with recommendations on car modifications, along with firearms and such, so let me know if that's something you guys are into!
Thanks man! The install directions for mine say " Do NOT simply ground the parking brake detect wire to a metal portion of the vehicle to bypass the feature". So, I was like, they are trying to tell me how to bypass it without being liable but I wanted to check before I did it so I searched and found your video. Thanks
Hello Adam, a big thank's from France! it works! for those who wonder if the trick still works on newer version of 2017 Pioneer avh the answer is yes. I have just installed a brand new avh-z7000dab in my 1998 honda prelude, I have clamped the red clip wich is on the light green parking brake wire on the black ground wire of the cigarette lighter and that's it. work's fine now.
For anyone curious, i have since finished my system install, and have since found a bolt/nut to ground the wire behind the radio. No more electrical tape. Tape was just for ease of recording. Glad to see this video helped people!
also worked with power acoustik unit pd-344B. I ran a ground wire straight from the negative terminal of the battery and now I have movies. thank you very much man.
I thought it looked like ass till you pointed out it was just for a quick video demo. It's cool to see that you use butt connectors instead of wire nuts or just tape. I usually only see pros do that so props.
Thank you! i just loosened a small screw on the back of my pioneer and wrapped the green wire around the screw and tightened it again. works very nice!
I have had these before but never hooked them up I always sold or traded them off but I just got another one and said hell I'm going to hook this one up and seen your vid I had no clue but it worked thanks and I have the p7500 pioneer
slyt ssj will that drain my battery then while the ignition is off and the vehicle is sitting? I’m not sure if mine will work with just grounding via tape yet, but since that is the two-second fix that’s what I would like to do.
Now, I have two questions regarding this. 1 - If you had a head unit that had an attached backup cam in mind, would that fudge with it? Basically would the backup cam simultaneously think it's both in park and reverse, screwing up the whole thing? 2 - I think I understand why you have the less than optimal asthetic choice, but on the off chance I'm wrong, is there a way you can reliably ground the parking wire while keeping the head unit inside the dash?
Thank man, I been messing with this all day. I thought i never coverted the music videos right. Ill try this now and let you know if it worked on mine. I have the same system
I ran mine from a toggle switch it worked perfectly i have a newer bluetooth pioneer that i cant really use the features unless i have the ebrake on that feature is useless with my truck its older and has a busted parking brake
just in case this helps anyone, check to see if the cable says parking because i was grounding a brown cable that wasn't the parking break and caused a blue screen. this should work just use the parking cable and don't go by color.
Thanks man think I’ll hide a toggle switch under the dash so I can disable it on case my kids want to borrow my truck. Piss on hooking that up to my E brake. BTW I never seen this video!!
One thing I don’t recommend is grounding it on your cigarette lighter because it blew so many fuses it almost caught my truck on fire. You might be able to get away with it depending on what your cigarette lighter calls for but mine was too small wire for what the ground was.
Ok Iv looked all over TH-cam and u explained it well... I did it for my Pioneer AVH-P4900DVD single din 6.5 wide screen unit and it worked... but when I unplugged the harness and moved it and tried it again it won't work... can u help me fix it?
I did a bypass with one of those things on eBay about 6 years ago. How do I make it so it won't play while driving now? I am selling the car. I don't care if the dvd player works at all. Can I just disconnect the light green Parking SW wire from the unit? Been so long that I have no idea what I did.
Easier way is to hook it up to your stereo ground wire.i always do it to indashes when i install them and it works perfect. Plus you wont has to worry about electrical tape unpealing over time
+Yvette Quinones It should be labeled. if not look up your stereo make and model and check the wiring diagram. On most cheap stereos the wire color is typically Black, brown or tan I believe, these are the ones that you can easily bypass by hooking up to stereo ground wire. Some other high end stereos have a green wire with black dots or even a pink wire.the higher end stereos aren't easily bypassed, you have to hook them up to a switch or relay of some sort like in the video
Sorry if you think this a dumb question, just want to know if I understood this correctly. So in order for this to work correctly you took the ground wire lead from behind the radio and grounded the wire directly to itself, is that right?
You never ground a parking brake to the actual head unit. Grounding the park brake switch, only works on low grade dvd players (boss, Jensen, power acoustik, etc). Name brand units (Kenwood, Alpine, jvc, etc) require a pulsed relay to trigger the park brake sensor.
I have a sound stream and tried to ground the parking brake wire, and toggle switch. Neither worked. Can you direct me to the pulse item you're speaking of?
Cant you ground it to the ground wire itself? And what kind of rear monitor can i get to plug in the back of my double din so my kids can watch same video in back seat?will any head rest work or any certain kind i dont want a flip down or wanna buy another dvd set up want to plug it in to my boss elite radio.
thanks for the video Adam. I was thinking about getting a similar power acoustik stereo. Do you have a particular reason for upgrading to a pioneer? Was it a bad system?
Thanks for the feedback! I have chosen the Pioneer for the simple fact of sound quality. a $250 headunit sounds better than a $150 headunit- obviously, although i loved how the Power Acoustik flipped up. Definitely got a lot of compliments. if you're going to impress people, and want okay sound quality that's the way to go. I now have a double din touchscreen Pioneer, and i personally love how clean it looks in my dash, and it also sounds so much better. Much clearer and louder. It's all personal opinion and what you can and cannot afford though. Hope I answered your question thoroughly!
I grounded the parking break and it is saying cant play video while driving because I connected the parking brake wire on the ground wire and I have a 2003 dodge grand caravan with a soundstream aftermarket sony stereo so what am I doing wrong
I have pyle PLDNANDVR695, the backup video camera says'' No signal''. I wish you can help me with that, please? I did the thing which you mention in the video but id didn't work.
hey bro the easiest way I figured out how to do it it just take the pink wire and screw it to the back of the unit and ground it that's all you got to do just screw it to the back of the unit and it'll work all day everyday

can u post a video of it?
What exactly do you want a video of? DeAsia Revels
bjezi kiso
Adam Perkins you could have always just butt connected it with your main ground wire when you were installing your harness
Adam Perkins 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
also worked with power acoustik unit pd-344B. I ran a ground wire straight from the negative terminal of the battery and now I have movies. thank you very much man.
Ived watched video over video and this is seriously the easiest thing and was a 2 minute fix. Thank you so much!
But why watch it over and over? lol
@@adamo36532 creepy... I never wrote this lmao
@@ambercolling3083 lmao
Finally someone gave a actual easy fix. Just ground the pink wire. Thank you
STRAIGHT TO THE DAM POINT...... THATS EXACTLY WHAT THE F I'M TALKING ABOUT, THANKS BRO.... WISH THERE WERE MORE TH-camRS WHO DO THE SAME THING,...
Try this one: th-cam.com/video/oB2PLKoRqY8/w-d-xo.html
Evelyn Deleon yup hate video that is 10min long of absolutely bs and 30sic of how to get it done lol
I thought it looked like ass till you pointed out it was just for a quick video demo. It's cool to see that you use butt connectors instead of wire nuts or just tape. I usually only see pros do that so props.
I soldered mine.
If I get in an accident, its definitely your fault!!! You'll be hearing from my lawyers buddy! lol
This worked on my soundstream thanks so much for this. I have no use for the DVD player but wanted everything to work since it was a feature
Thanks! Working perfect. I tried to put 12v to the parking wire, without results. Then i found your video👍
Thank you ! I called a place to bypass it and they wanted $40 I watched your video got it done $0
It worked for my Pioneer. Saved money and time...BIG THANKS!!!
This works on my duel DVD car stereo..I grounded the wire to a screw on the back of the unit & works fine 👍
Thank you! i just loosened a small screw on the back of my pioneer and wrapped the green wire around the screw and tightened it again. works very nice!
Did u ground it to the unit??
Zac Wilson Yes the green wire is grounded to the unit
Cool I have a boss fold out unit... Similar look so I can just ground parking wire from unit to ground on back of unit??? Jw
Never found the answer on TH-cam for boss audio
Zac Wilson Should work the same on Boss
Thanks. Very helpful. Now Bluetooth will work too. I got a walmart pioneer avh-120bt. In a gmc envoy. Thanks again.
I have had these before but never hooked them up I always sold or traded them off but I just got another one and said hell I'm going to hook this one up and seen your vid I had no clue but it worked thanks and I have the p7500 pioneer
thank you for this video man, not all heroes wear capes
i grounded the brown wire with the black ground wire works great... thanks dude
I just grounded mine with the black main ground and it worked great
slyt ssj will that drain my battery then while the ignition is off and the vehicle is sitting? I’m not sure if mine will work with just grounding via tape yet, but since that is the two-second fix that’s what I would like to do.
Other features came on except my dvd player. But I'm getting my bypass wires today. Thx
Hells yeah was on my lunch break got it done thanks for your video
Good vid. For me Jensen VX7022 it ended up requiring grounding the PINK wire. Same concept though, so thanks!
Thank you! it is working on the bypass. You're the MAN!!!!
Now, I have two questions regarding this. 1 - If you had a head unit that had an attached backup cam in mind, would that fudge with it? Basically would the backup cam simultaneously think it's both in park and reverse, screwing up the whole thing? 2 - I think I understand why you have the less than optimal asthetic choice, but on the off chance I'm wrong, is there a way you can reliably ground the parking wire while keeping the head unit inside the dash?
I got the same power acoustik as you, thank you this was very helpful!!!
much respect bro, funny how you say dont leave hate comments. thanks for the info its worked
Thank you for sharing. Worked great. Nice hack.
smart guy with the Disclaimer... future lawyer perhaps? lol
great video who would of thought brown wire to ground good shit thanks helped me
It works I was wondering how the hell I was going to get it to work but thanks for the tip
Thanks, works on my Jensen VX4025.
Thank man, I been messing with this all day. I thought i never coverted the music videos right. Ill try this now and let you know if it worked on mine. I have the same system
It works perfect, THANK U
are you going to make an update video for bypassing your pioneer radio?
I ran mine from a toggle switch it worked perfectly i have a newer bluetooth pioneer that i cant really use the features unless i have the ebrake on that feature is useless with my truck its older and has a busted parking brake
just in case this helps anyone, check to see if the cable says parking because i was grounding a brown cable that wasn't the parking break and caused a blue screen. this should work just use the parking cable and don't go by color.
great! I have a soundstream radio, looks exactly like yours.
mondos2001 .
Hey thanks worked perfectly my 2 year old is in haven driving to daycare I am sure she thanks you to
I sure needed this video to help out right about now
Thanks man think I’ll hide a toggle switch under the dash so I can disable it on case my kids want to borrow my truck.
Piss on hooking that up to my E brake.
BTW I never seen this video!!
Just splice it into the head units ground wire. Done.
One thing I don’t recommend is grounding it on your cigarette lighter because it blew so many fuses it almost caught my truck on fire. You might be able to get away with it depending on what your cigarette lighter calls for but mine was too small wire for what the ground was.
Could you just wire it in with your head units ground wire?
Jarrad Fulton yes
Thanks man you just saved my car
Ok Iv looked all over TH-cam and u explained it well... I did it for my Pioneer AVH-P4900DVD single din 6.5 wide screen unit and it worked... but when I unplugged the harness and moved it and tried it again it won't work... can u help me fix it?
Gonna try this tonight. I just wanna watch some damn zombie movies while I'm out camping lmao

That was so easy!! Thanks!

Stop worrying about what other people think.....just own it!!!
Thanks sounded to good to be true but worked as you said it would simple and easy

your so awesome dude!!! thanks for posting this video
Thanks for the quick, easy how-to!! Just bought a similar model deck and was wondering the best way to bypass that. What kind of a car do you have??
Dude this is great!Thanks bro

Any recommendations will help please and thank you

What did you do with the parking brake wire on the vehicle harness side? Should I ground that as well?
I have a Question will this connection Drain the Car Battery if the Car sits in the Driveway and not started for a few Days.Please let me know
Cant you ground it to the ground wire itself?

Put a switch under the dash for when u get pulled over 😉😉
Really?The cops dont give a flying fuck....
I grounded the parking break and it is saying cant play video while driving because I connected the parking brake wire on the ground wire and I have a 2003 dodge grand caravan with a soundstream aftermarket sony stereo so what am I doing wrong
Can u wire it with the ground wire?
It worked bro thanks!
I have pyle PLDNANDVR695, the backup video camera says'' No signal''. I wish you can help me with that, please? I did the thing which you mention in the video but id didn't work.

When you say “parking brake wire” are we speaking of the actual car’s wire? Or the wire on the aftermarket radio wire harness?
LOL what kind of question is that.

God bless your soul
Can anyone please explain what is this (brake) wire for?
It's done
