brake wire question

quick question.. i have an alpine cva-1005..

and as far as parking brake wire and brake wire go. ive read that i can just ground the parking brake wire. and i can run the brake wire to a switch.. but instead of doing that.. i have my remote wires to a toggle switch, so could i also run the brake wire off the same switch with the remote wire?

You can try to run the remote wire onto a toggle switch in place of the foot brake wire, but just make sure that the input voltage is strong enough from the remote turn on wire to trigger the brake input wire of the 1005. If not then just run a wire straight to constant instead of the remote wire and install a toggle switch inline of this wire.

dont want to sound dumb.. but im not sure i understand exactly what your saying..

are you saying to run the remote wire constant and the brake wire to a toggle switch? or run the brake wire constant and keep my remote wire through the toggle switch?

If you want to use your remote turn on lead as your " brake switch wire " for the CVA1005 just make sure that it has enough voltage to turn on the CVA1005, if not, then I suggest going straight to a constant (+) source with the inline toggle switch to mimic the (+) pulse that the CVA1005 requires in order to bypass the video.

To override any video bypass on all Alpine flip screens this is what you do:

I spdt relay

30 ground

86 to momentary switch then to ignition

87a to parking brake wire from Alpine

85 ground

hook up foot brake wire like your supposed to

When your done when you first turn on the car step on foot brake hit momentary switch and now your readt to watch dvd's
