The easiest way to bypass your park brake wire on an aftermarket head unit.
The park brake wire is a safety feature that is standard on all after market head units with a user interface that has a screen. When connected, the unit will not allow things like, video playback, maps, CarPlay, android auto etc, unless the park brake is engaged.
This video is for tutorial purposes only. We do not recommend bypassing the safety feature but it may be necessary for testing purposes.

This will work on MOST units with a Park Brake wire. Putting the Park Brake wire directly to GND tricks the unit into the thinking the Park Brake is always on.
Some (not many) units with GPS antennas can still tell the car is moving- though this is rare.
We do NOT recommend doing this nor condone watching your head unit/phone screen while driving. This video is for testing purposes only.
Will this for sure work on a Pioneer AVH-521EX ?
This will not work on newer pioneer units as the brake wire input must receive an on off on signal to enable video playback.
So run ground and brake wire straight to frame...?
STANLY IPkiss Yep you can do that
Ran a pulse ground on a toggle switch. Works fine
I just installed an Axxera AV6118Bi DVD head unit in my vehicle. I was gonna purchase a bypass off amazon till I came across this video. I was a little skeptical at first thinking this is far to easy but decided to hold off and give this a try. Just finished hooking up the entire system in my car and wouldn’t you know it, it actually works!!! I was pleasantly surprised. My only slight confusion was that I only had the e-brake wire from the head unit side and not the vehicle side. But I wired it to the ground as stated and it worked. Thanks for the tip
Reel Dad Hey mate! It’s a great little trick we’ve been doing in our head unit installs for a long time.
In most cases, when we connect it to the park brake wire, customers come back asking if it’s possible to work without the hand brake. So we started doing this.
All of the bypass kits do the same thing, just trick the unit into thinking the e brake is always on 😊.
Not that I would ever do this because of safety reasons, but interesting to know 😏 thanks a million bud 🙌🏻
Wow thanks a lot man! I’ve always done the switch method and flip the switch back and forth to simulate the brake but that’s such a pain in the ass! Thanks again for the tip!
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know and it was short, sweet, and to the point!
Thank you so much we take our cars on road trips and my fiance likes to watch movies while we are on the road and I like to listen to them while I drive wish the radio manufacturers would just give you a warning that you can click to bypass it
Thanks a lot bro! Really helped me.
Just would like to say a massive thank you for this tutorial! Worked wonders on the Alpine INE-W960A.
No it didn't.
Worked so easy thanks
Worked perfectly fast and easy thanks
that's what she said lol
thanks. I did this and it worked great!
Awesome video. Thank you
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, have a great day.
Your viedeo help me sooooo much thank you from Austria
QUESTIONS: I have an '09 Corolla and installing 9" head unit. 1) To have a camera icon on the head unit and to see behind the car without the car being in reverse, do you connect the reverse trigger wire from RCA cable from rear camera to red Accessory wire and also the head unit reverse wire (mine is a brown wire) for when car is put in reverse? 2) I have two yellow RCA connectors from head unit. One connector is labeled 'CCD AVIN' and the other connector is labeled 'Aux-V'. The Camera RCA cable connector coming from the camera plugs into which of the two RCA connectors in order to establish a signal for the rear camera? 3) I have a pink wire from the head unit labeled, 'With protocol model output 12V can be connected to the camera'. Is this pink wire like an accessory wire for the rear camera to view behind the car with out being in reverse? Should I use this wire instead of the red accessory wire to have a camera icon on head unit and see behind the car without being in reverse? 4) I connected the RCA cables together at the head unit and the trigger wire to the red wire off of the RCA cable, but I get no reverse camera picture on the head unit. When I look at the rear camera, the LED lights up when in reverse. Why no reverse camera picture on head unit? Thank You for All Your HELP!!!
It worked for pioneer carrazorria Rz05 .thank you.
Thanks for the tip! This is only going to be used for Testing of course!😂
Absolute ⭐️ mate 👏
Ty for this video it worked on my pioneer double din 💯
i have the pioneer avh 1108t will this work for this model?
THANK YOU 🖤
Cheers 🍻 that was perfect 👍
That method works as it should on lower brand radios like power acoustik, boss, etc ect ect brands like jvc, pioneer, clarion, alpine ut will only work 1 time unless you hook up a toggle, relay, or even a bypass
so itll work on a bose say less. i just got my head unit in the mail.
thank you so much for solving my problem.
Works like a charm with my Jensen CAR710W… the pink and black wire!
thanks for this comment! ♥
Thank you,, l was getting mad, cause the damn dvd didn't want to play unless lm parked and emergency brake on. Awesome tip.!!!
Are the wires always the same two colors? I have a light mint green wire but it's a Kenwood DDIN
Thank you for this Trick
Many thanks this solve my problem on the Bluetooth memory
I’m having the same problem. Did you tie into the ground alone or another color with the ground? If so which color
Does not work for newer American stereos. A bypass switch that can provide an on-off-on signal is required to trick the stereos.
Attach to the remote wire. Done and done.
@@ryansingh7145the amp wire ? Thanks
Great video
If it comes with the plug and play harness do I still need to connect it or can I leave it inside the din?
Will the backup camera still work with this modification?
Thank you 😊
Great video thank you so much! I am in Australia and just bought the JVC KW-M150BT I am guessing this method will work with it??
Michael Lagzdins Yep it’ll work fine 😊
I just got the same radio I hope it worked
@@Wickedminds830 it worked for me
Question I hooked up my pioneer NEV 5201 as you suggested. The results are when in park and drive my rear-view camera guilds adjustment are displayed. When in reverse, the pioneer home screen is displayed. Before I do anything else could you help me out?
Thank you brother. Just bought a used truck with DVD installed but wouldn't work even with parking brake on. This worked
James Warr Legend 👏🏽
Just fitted a Pioneer sph-da250dab and grounded the green wire and it works just fine 🙂
Thanks for the feedback Ian. I've recently bought that unit and was concerned it wouldn't work lol
I can confirm that this works with the pioneer sph-da250dab too!
I bought the same Unit today and i will try it out and comment if it worked or not.
How is it now. I’m worried of overheating
@@steveyg777 how is it now I’m worried about over heating
Ive always done this when ive installed my avh205 into the various cars ive owned, but for some reason is didnt work eith the recent car ive put it in, going to try a couple of things tomorrow, hopefully i can sort it
I have a Pioneer Ca9pa v6 650 which is from a Mazda Atenza. Which one is the parking brake wire or do I need to add a pin to it, as all I got with the unit. I have 3 wires left... A pink, a second ground, and a brown. Help would be appreciated please.
I'm seeing a lot of comments about in the states it needs the bypass - what about UK? will this work or will i need to get the bypass too?
I've just got a SPH-DA2300 for my '06 A3 - just waiting for the wiring loom to come before i try the install but trying to get all info together so i can get it sorted ASAP!
Cheers!
Brad0193 Great question! Maybe test it with the unit not installed all the way and if it works awesome! And if not you’ll need a switch or the “on/off/on” rubbish the states units need
Hi mate, were you able to get it to work with just this trick in the end? I'm in the UK and just got a pioneer head unit was wondering if I need to order the bypass or not.
Confused so the grounded yellow and black gets connected to the green and black? so 4 wires all together? Thanks
Ok. I just said to hell with it and tried it myself with the AVH-3500NEX, since I did the install myself anyway. And it worked. Now my Android Auto works. Which is what I was having the problem with. I don't watch dvd's in my car so I didn't test if that works. Like he said, just connect the green/white wire with the black ground wire from the back of radio and connect to the ground wire under the dash of the car. Thanks a lot. Saved me a lot of headache
Hey mate thanks for this. I've just installed an Alpine ILX 650e unit and need to bypass the parking break in my 2013 i30 (no nav), which wires do I solder between the headunjt harness (I've got the plug and play Aerpro kit) and the car wiring?
Sunil how did you go with the ILX 650e, did it work or does it require a pulse signal?
THANK YOUUU
now do you connect those 2 sets of 2 wires together or just tape off and leave separate
Will this work for my 98 f150 with pioneer AVH-110BT?
Do you know where the park brake wire is in a ba falcon so i can do it properly for android auto?
Hello, Ive a Blaupunkt philadelphia 845 for WV and the wires color code are not the same, how can I identify the right wire? Thanks!
I'm using a wire harness from an older pioneer on my 2nd hand avh 2550nex that didn't come with a harness, the colors are slightly different
Can you tell me just what the stop lamp switch does on alpine radio and how it works? Does it have anything to do with muting the radio?
I love this movie.
Any chance you know what cable is for a 2021 tacoma radio ?
Had to make sure it was a ground i had to connect it to. My jeep doesn’t have a park brake wire due to it being form the 90s
Would this work on a JVC KW-M560BT (Without DVD & GPS)?
Hell yea thank you man
Andrew S All good brother
Worked like a charm! Thx
If you do this will you still be able to use the back up camera function if you connect it to reverse?
Yes
What’s the best way to identify the correct wire? Namely in a 2019 MUX with the Panasonic head unit? Cheers
Alex Swan Hey mate! On a factory radio it’s not that simple unfortunately. You’ll need an add on module or something like, perhaps even coding.
Pink.....
Just go to the owner's manual and look at the radio wire diagram if it dont say on small print on the wire and match them up
What voltage switch? Does it need to be 12V? Can anyone recommend a plain black round switch? Thanks.
Same question...different model. Will this work with the Pioneer AVH110?
xX The Vanguard Captain Xx Yep. If the unit has a park brake wire this will work. Putting it to ground tricks the unit into thinking the park brake is always on 😊
I'd connect a switch between the black GND and light green wire and install on the dash for easy access.
Ok, I did this and it works fine. I have one question though. Could this have any long term problem with the unit? Could it cause something to short or burn out?
Gregory Reid Definitely not 😊
Thanks for the tip, makes no sense to do it the other way LOL
cheers
Will the PAC TR1 work on the Sony XAV AX5600?
In the rust belt of the USA it's extremely rare to use the parking brake because the cars get rusty and the cable seizes up. Even with manual trans we just leave it in first or reverse. It is usually labeled "EMERGENCY BRAKE" in the USA.
@Someone New Clearly you are an intellectual. I actually have lived in the Rust Belt for decades. The original coining (~40 years ago) of the term Rust Belt did refer to the decline of the heavy steel and heavy industry in the Great Lakes region. But the term also has a modern colloquial meaning referring to long winters we get from the Great Lakes and jet stream and the use of salt on the roads that aggressively rusts all of our steel infrastructure. Also you are not mechanically knowledgeable if you think a parking brake and an emergency brake are two different things. The (P) position on your automatic transmission uses something called a parking pawl that mechanically locks the transmission up (no brake or fiction material involved). A true cable-driven emergency/parking brake can be applied while the vehicle is rolling as a backup to the hydraulic brakes, but don't try that with (P) on the transmission!
To me the word Emergency brake will never make sense. It’s an adopted word from the creation of the automatic transmission. Prior to automatics you have to use your “parking brake” to hold your car in place rather than P on your automatic transmissions shifter. Most to nobody I see that drives an automatic ever applies their parking brake anymore. Instead they just put there car in the park gear and call it a day. Park gear (P) is your back up in the event that your parking brake fails. A parking brake is not designed to stop your vehicle in the event of an emergency. It is designed to park your vehicle. If you own an automatic and are parking your car you should always: 1. Come to a complete stop 2. Put your car into (P) 3. Finally apply your parking brake, you do all these steps with your foot on the main brake, once you have applied the parking brake you take your foot off the brake pedal
@@zamboniguy8952 I agree with that. You may have noticed in new cars that they have an electronically activated "parking brake" that is automatically engaged by the computer under certain sceneries. I rented a Jeep Renegade and a Ford Kuga that had this feature. For example, if you put the Jeep in neutral and opened the door it would set the parking brake to prevent it from rolling. There was a famous accident with a Hollywood actor that got out his Jeep when it was in drive to get mail and it was very bad press for Jeep. I have no idea if you could activate that parking brake at driving speeds or not because it is just a button. It must "try" to stop the car.
I use mine every time I park and I am a rust belt King
@@Rayven_cat I try to keep it working and use it occasionally on my personal vehicles. Generally the issue I see is if the drum brakes are in poor condition with rusty linkages then the parking brake may fail. Disc brake cars seem to have less of an issue.
Will this work with pioneer dmh-z5350bt? Or does the handbrale have to be switched on off on etc?
In aus it works. Other countries you will need to test
would this work on a pioneer avh4000 DVD??
I used a switch in case got pulled over while playing it hit switch and the writing comes up on screen as I had head rest screens hooked to my main screen so ya could see out side the car I had screens on
I have JVC KW-V11 and presently using for listening in home as domestic audio system. However, when I try to play to play any video CD, it plays only the audio. How to play a video CD/DVD and display the DVD on the screen.
What I did is I wired a switch between the parking brake wire and the ground, so then I just flip the switch to make it think I have the parking brake engaged.
It's a redundant step but I like it.
how did you do that hmmmmm are you attaching the receivers light green parking brake to a switch and then the switch is connected to a ground you made custom somewhere in the car
@@mrwilliams7086 no it was super easy actually, but I don't remember how. You can find videos about it on TH-cam, that's where I learned it.
Hello! I have a pioneer Avh-270bt.
I have not installed the light green wire. Can you help me and tell in which pin should i install it?
Because without it i cant clear the memory.
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot
Ervin Xhani Hi mate not sure which pin it is. Take photo of the plug go to your local auto parts store and compare with a unit that has the same plug with the green wire and then pin it.
This doesn’t work for newer Alpine units. I tried it on my alpine iLX-507 and the unit requires a change of state. So basically if the head unit starts up with the park wire grounded it will not allow you to use certain functions. It needs to turn on, have no ground connection to the e brake wire, and then get a switched ground signal from some where. If you wire it to your embrace and then actuate the e brake, the ebrake basically works like a large switch. You could wire the ground wire to a switch along with the e brake wire and turn it on after the head unit has powered up. I don’t know if there is some sort of resistor or other electrical device that you could wire inline from the ground wire to the e brake wire that would regard the ground connection for a second so that the head unit see a change of state from non ground to grounded after the head unit powers up. If you know of a device that can do that please let me know.
Just a question if anyone's still active on this video. After you connect the unit's gound and park brake wire together, does it then have to be connected to vehicle ground os is it grounded through the wiring of the head unit? Thanks
Still need to ground it
Hi! I have a pioneer sph-da120 and the light green cabe is missing - it's not in the connecter. Where is it's suposed to be connected?
Andreas Larsen If not on the original power loom then it’s not necessarily needed
Ive also read some units require a change from hot to ground to enable VDO/BT. There is a device sold on EBAY that does this step...
It doesn't need to switch hot and ground actually. It just needs to pulse a ground, then hold it constant ground which is what that doohicky device does. So far I have found only Pioneer and newer Alpines need that pulse. Most other brands you just ground the P brake wire. Now older Alpines needed both a ground and positive and for that you needed something a little more complex like a PAC TR-7... about 15 or 20 bucks.
To explain.. Pioneer and newer Alpines only use one wire to detect the parking brake pulse which throws a ground. The older Alpines they were more slick and made it so the head unit needed 2 wires for bypass... parking brake which is ground, and regular brake which is positive hot. So the device just faked the unit into thinking both were connected to the vehicle.
So will this bypass fix the problem of my maps not acquiring gps signal? (Mind you I have neither bypassed it nor hooked it to my parking brake)
Tyler Murpht No your maps are not acquiring signal for one of two reasons..
The external GPS antenna is not plugged in.
Or it is plugged in and if you’re using CarPlay or AA it’s interfering with the signal :)
Can i use the aerpro APP9 Harness over the Alpine ? If so what colour is the Park brake wire on the Aerpro harness
Light green
Will this work with the pioneer avh- 120 BT
👍👍some model used another "second layer lock"... GPS navigation lock 🚫 when the vehicle move > 5mph
Hopefully you can still respond but, how do you make the green parking brake wire from the stereo become “grounded” to the chassis of the car or the metal of the stereo itself? Like how do you make it stick with the end of the wire to the metal so that it’s grounded??? Hopefully you get what I mean, im new to this
By soldering the park brake wire to the GND wire, you effectively ground it. No need to attach it to any metal on the car, just do what the video says and the wire will be grounded
@Ben Flynn don't you have to ground the black wire to the car? would it be OK to just twist both wires together with out soldering them, and just connecting them to a screw? I don't have the equipment
Will this work for Android auto and weblink for Sony xav 3200
Does this work on the clarion too?
Does it need to be soldered?
Hey would this work for the 4600nex pioneer?
Just ground it to the body of the stereo . Works 💯 everytime
I’ve had the same radio for over 6 years (BV9967B, Boss audio) been through 4 vehicles.. I just slip the parking brake wire into the back of the radio harness and it’s good to go..
How do I do that?
@@chrisjay2901 all you have to do really is wire it to a piece of metal.. make sure if you don’t use the radio harness, use tape to not cross connections..
@@cbdxishop2953 Ok will it work for the factory ones as well???
@@chrisjay2901 not sure. Never tried on a stock radio. This is the only radio I’ve ever installed to my own vehicle(s).. I got an older vehicle “93 Dodge Grand Caravan..but if your parking wire is marked and you know which one it is, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Probably wouldn’t recommend doing too much though if your car has an alarm..
Worked perfectly for my pinoeer sph-da250 thank you very much! Saved a lot of hassle
Did you connect the light green wire and the black wire as one from your aftermarket stereo
Can I use the little pinch connectors instead of soldering?
If you want to :)
I did this technique, but I can't gain access to the menu settings. I have access to volume and so forth.
Does this bypass work on Pioneer DMH-w4660nex?
Will this work on a pioneer mvh-300ex model? I need to bypass it to clear my Bluetooth cache in the system because it never detected my e brake
Aidan Ball If it’s not detecting the handbrake or the settings are not illuminating you should give this a try and it should fix it.
Some pioneer units need to be switched off then switched back on and go straight into settings without touching any other feature (unit settings work in “off” mode)
on my sony ax5500 i just left it floating and i press the ok button on the screen but if i forget it times out after maybe 30 secs and starts playing!
I usually do a switch that connects the black and light green wire together. That way, if I get pulled over, I'll just switch it from on to off easily.
Where can I find one of those switches?
@@user-oj9fu6fe7u i usually buy a toggle switch from eBay or Amazon
Who is gonna pull you over and then undo the trim in your vehicle to take out your stereo bro? Lol
@@jimmycorbett4611 I don't think people are going to steal your car stereo as much as the 90's but then again, I could be wrong.
@@MagicGate814 I was talking abt if a cop pulled you over. I agree with you a thief might do anything if given enough time for sure. But I doubt a cop would ever pull you over and look at the wiring on your stereo.
Will this work for rock lights.
Will this work with Stinger HEIGH10 UN1810?
Just installed in 2002 Toyota Highlander Sony XVAXA-1000.....simple-- place parking wire under radio mount 10mm bolt that screws into the METAL DASH FRAME.......not to anything else......if you make sure the bold is going into center dash metal support bracket it works great. If you use plastic area only, won't bypass.... Great short cut for demonstration purposes of course. This is a iPhone ONLY CarPlay radio.
thanks......Seems I'll be sticking with the Sony line since they all seem to work with this "testing" purposes fix....!!
Will this work on a pioneer DMH-Z5350BT model? I am in Australia, If it doesn't what can I try? Thanks
swann lupoi it will work :)
Go on eBay and buy a park brake bypass for pioneer
Hello, mine was already hooked up, so what should I do with the extra length that was already connected to the brake? Thank you!
Why would you ask such a stupid hopeless question? Can you not figure it out? Do you need someone to guide you with common sense?
Could I do this for factory DVD in cad dts??
Hello everyone! I have a pioneer Avh-270bt. I cant pair my bluetooth with my iphone. It says memory full. How do i clear the memory? How do i put it in parking brake mode? Which wire is the ground wire? Can anyone help me.
