Stereo fitting

Hi 

I have a pioneer stereo I've got and I need to wire the parking break wire up to enable me to use some features on the stereo. Can anyone tell me if there is a easy way to bypass this or where I'm splicing the cable into location etc of handbreak wire

You splice in here, it's just a single wire, I did mine with my Kenwood unit.

the handbrake switch normally earth out the wire

on an old kenwood tv system i had i soldered the handbrake

wire from the head unit to the main headunit earth wire

so i could have the screen on

my son used to use his playstation on it

when we went out, he was good as gold in the car.

i know someone will say " you cant do that"

so i thought i would say it first

Apparently the new pioneers have changed this so you need a on off on off cycle or something for it to work otherwise I would of done this

Here are instructions for parking brake removal, it should be enough to give you access to the wire needed.

Just a thought  the original stereo had settings you couldn't access while driving am I right to assume this should be the wire for the break switch too or similar ?

couldn't you fit a seperate on off switch instead of using the handbrake switch

this way the display could be used
