I'm having problems installing the iva-c801. I can't locate the brake wires and the parking brake wires. I plan to put a switch to bypass the alpine safety feature but I don't know how to. I drive a Honda Prelude 98 and if you can please send me a wiring diagram for the brakes on where I can install it to. Thanks.

I wonder if this wire goes with this wire?....zzzpt. hmm. I guess not.

The wire is WHITE/ black at the brake switch arm above the brake pedal. It is a (+) output wire when the brake is depressed. Attach this wire to the foot brake input wire on the IVA-C801. With the hand wire you ground this wire and install a toggle switch between the ground and the IVA CPU to replicate the engaging and disengaging of the hand brake. ------------- Jeff

Thanks for the reply Jeff. It was working for a while (it was playing the dvd in the dvd player) but now it's not. I didn't touch any wires after it worked. I can't seem to figure it out. Maybe I should let you know that my dvd player is a panasonic one and it has a hand brake wire too and I have that with the iva handbrake wire. I'm starting to give up and let a professional do it but I really don't want to. I know that it's not much more work left to do. Would you know what I have to do to get it working again? Where can I look at to trouble shoot? Can it be a blown fuse in the braking system? Anything can be of good help now. Thanks in advance. ------------- I wonder if this wire goes with this wire?....zzzpt. hmm. I guess not.

Did you solder the connection to the switch that you had ? Make sure that you have the proper wires from both units hooked up: - FOOT BRAKE wire from Alpine to foot brake on Panasonic
- HAND BRAKE wire from Alpine to hand brake wire on Panasonic

The Panasonic didn't have a foot brake wire. It only had a hand brake wire. The hand brake wire from the Panasonic and the Alpine I have soldered together. The foot brake wire from the Alpine I have pinched with that connector that is included with the unit to the foot brake. It worked for awhile the other day but then it stopped. I can't figure it out. I'm pretty sure I have the right connections because I didn't touch any of the wire after I got it to work. Any clues as to what might be happening? ------------- I wonder if this wire goes with this wire?....zzzpt. hmm. I guess not.

Check that connection again where you made the foot brake coonection witht he supplied T-tap Alpine gave you. Actually, take that T-tap out completely and solder the connection from the Alpine to the foot brake. I think this will solve your problem and another thing is to make sure that you go through the sequence properly everytime power has been disrupted from the ignition you have to go through the sequence again. ------------- Jeff

I always do that sequence part everytime the ignition is off. I have made sure that the connection is good but I guess it is worth a try to solder the wires together, but I don't have a solder. Well, thanks for the help. ------------- I wonder if this wire goes with this wire?....zzzpt. hmm. I guess not.

The ignition has to be on in order for the units to work. ------------- Jeff

Yeah, the unit is on when I do try to do the switch. I will try to re-connect the wires to the foot brake and maybe the wires to the hand brake. After that if it still doesn't work then I am lost. It would be such a big waste of money if the unit doesn't end up working. Thanks. ------------- I wonder if this wire goes with this wire?....zzzpt. hmm. I guess not.

well you dont even have to connect the foot brake and hand brake to the actual brake wires. The yellow and black wire which is the foot brake needs positive power and the yellow and blue wire need negative power. So all you need to do is get 2 2prong switches. Get onw that will be used for the yellow and black wire and connect it to 1 prong and constant power to the other prong. The other switch will be used for the yellow and blue wire connected to 1 prong and the other prong is connected to ground, negative power. After that just flip on the switch for your foot brake which will give positive power letting the brain think that the foot brake is active, then flip on the switch that is for your hand brake, letting the brain think that the hand brake is up and then flip off the foot break switch, that is all you need to do. The foot and hand break are used just so you dont have to get + and - power from some where else but works the same. If you need more help e-mail me at gotoevolution@yahoo.com
