Anyone wih Clarion multimedia experience?

Their DVD/touchscreen headunit's manual shows a "grass green" wire to be wired to the parking brake's ground circuit,so that's easy enough to understand.

Now the TTX501Z TV tuner on the other hand uses a different colored wire (orange I think,don't have the tuner in front of me) and the manual isn't clear to me about where this gets connected. It says "connect the terminal to the lead wire on the lamp side of the parking brake lamp switch". Is Clarion's idea of a "lead wire" a 12v positive connection? I want to be sure before installing this,I don't want to connect this wire to voltage when it should've been a ground then see it smoke xx(

"lamp side of the parking brake switch" means negative wire from that switch. That parking brake light in your dash has constant positive and that negative comes from that switch.
