Hi,

How would I "bypass" using the parking brake wire?? I want to be able to watch my LCD Sony XAV-7W while the car is driving..

(could I simply use the blue "on/off" wire and connect that to the light green "parking brake" wire.. and use that as the on/off)?

all you have to do is ground the parking break wire just give it a constant ground , thats all the unit is lookign for is the grounded signal comming from parking break once you ground that wire you can watch tv anytime.
