Hi people i have a 2002 honda civic LX and i just got a pioneer dvd player avh-p7500dvd and i figure out how to install the unit but i was wondering if anyone out there can help me bypassing the brake wire so that i can have it on while driving. the instrustion said to have the light green wire from the unit to be connected to the power supply side of the parking brake light switch. Please Help Thanks

grounding it does not do the trick.  they made it so you have to put the ebrake off, then on again to watch movies, so you can do it a couple of ways.  use a relay, and have the remote turn on wire trip the relay sending ground to the light green(this worked on our display unit, but not in my friend's car, so I am not sure if it will work in most cars.  the other way to do it (without a switch) is to use a pulse timer, and have the remote wire turn that on, and have it wait like 10 seconds and then latch ground to the light green.  if you wanna do a simple way, just put a toggle switch on the wire, and make it see ground when you wanna watch a movie.  or you can hook it directly to ground, but with a normally closed momentary switch inline, and just press it for a second, which will break the circuit, and then let go, to reconnect the circuit.  all of these methods work.
