Please break up your posts by using the button labeled ENTER on your keyboard.

I'd also recommend you use the SEARCH button, as this has been discussed before. Oddly enough, the parking brake wire, is near the parking brake.

There are FULL wiring schematics on this site, and Hmaservice has all of the information you need also.

 

Pull the center console off. Its only one wire going to the handle. Then search online for the way to make it play all the time. I believe there is a code or way to trick it as far as I remember from the one I hooked up.

 

Only Jensen has the easter egg. For all others, you ground the e-brake wire. Jensen has an easter egg because they also have an additional safety feature where you have to release the parking brake for aproximately 2 seconds then reapply it if you start the car with the e-brake engaged.

 

lol basiclly. i got a kenwood all i did was ground the parking brake wire...works fine..BUT there is a drawback, if you get in an accident and they know you have this done ( parking brake wire on the ground instead of the proper way) then you are liable doesnt matter if you were watching it or not.

 

it should be found near the parking brake.. test for it OR

hook it up to a toggle switch and you basicaly flick the switch as if you were pulling the e-brake.
