Question for everyone... Is there an "easy" work around for the Kenwood DDX-7017 or KVT-717DVD? I am going to replace my Pioneer 6500 and want to know if I am getting ready to be without video while driving...

Any help is greatly apreciated.

Thanks!

I installed the KVT-717DVD. I ran the Parking Brake wire to a ground and it works like a charm. The unit thinks I'm always parked and lets me do anything I want with the video while driving.

Should be the same.  DDX-7015 video worked when the parking brake wire was grounded.
