    Hey Guys

    Just bought myself a new in car dvd radio and hooked it all up no probs..
    Went to play a dvd and a warning comes up saying that I have to pull up my hand brake to watch it, even if the handbrake is up it still wont play but thats because I didnt know where that wire went :confused:
    Been searching the web for a way around it. They said to earth the wire but I dont have a clue how to do that!!

    Anyone have any words of wisdom??

    Cheers

    You have two options, earth it onto any part of the body (bare metal only) this allows you to watch the screen at all times.
    It should also work if you join the grounding wire onto the earth wire of the loom (black wire)

    Or you can wire it into the handbrake circuit, so when the screen only comes on when the handbrake is applied.
