I've installed a lot of aftermarket stereos in my kids cars. I've gotta tell you. I have no intention of bypassing the parking brake for video, but you have made an amazing video, with excellent explanations of how the relays work, etc. You even explain the proper way to crimp wires. I have picked up three or four gems in this video. I see that this video was made 11 years ago. I wish that I would have seen it back then. I hope you are well and prospering. You are a talented teacher, and I appreciate you. Thanks brother!
Just did this with my Pioneer. The Radio shop was wanting 60$+ for the kit and I spent just around 5$ Thank you kindly for the video time well spent and pointless money avoided!
hea bro, I just bought the new Pioneer AVH-X64500DVD. I installed it and could not for the life of me figure out how to get my DVD to play. I watched your video, i went back outside and grounded the parking lot wire from the deck to a good solid ground and Viola!!! It works, thanks man you are the best and i just subscribed to your channel
Thanks so much!!! I thought I hooked my radio up wrong because all it said was audio only when DVD played. So I took the green wire and put it under a bolt underneath my dash and now it works great!!!!!
Thanks a lot brotha. I was kinda mad that I couldn't get that feature on my radio and entertain my daughter in my truck. That was the whole reason why I bought it. You made my day. Thanks and great tutorial! Gracias!
My alpine had to have a positive signal than a negative signal but I apreciate you putting this out their instead of trying to sell me something, especially since u r a car audio seller
great tutorial. Thanks. can you wire the ground into to the ground coming out of the stereo back or is it safer to run the relay ground separately and directly to the frame?
I just grounded the brake wire to my stereo unit and it worked took me 5 mins to pull out the stereo, ground the wire to the unit and put the stereo back in, thanks for the video Awesome!
First, thank you very much for posting this video, it's very informative However, I do have a question, the standard car relay draws about 120 mA, can the amp on signal from the aftermarket radio handle this current? wouldn't it be better to use a normal relay that draws about 30 mA?
Thank you for this! I was going nuts looking for a wire coming off my ebrake and couldn't see anything! With all the screws on the head unit, this was an easy fix. Thank you!
sadly some newer ones are getting smart, and gets the speed signal from the GPS... if it's moving but the parking brake wire is grounded, it still won't show the video and will say "parking brake signal incorrectly attached" and won't let this bypass method work. in this case, you'd have to do some research and find a workaround for it. mine? I had to click "off" and hold a certain spot on the screen for like 5-10 seconds... then got a message saying "set on"... now I can watch movies and mess with navigation settings and such, all with the parking wire cut and not attached to any ground at all.
hi James I got KIA CADENZA 2015 and would like to ask you some question regarding bypassing the DVD since its getting the speed from the GPS. Would you please contact me on Essatop16@hotmail.com
Ever since I started in the buisness of car audio installer 16years . I learnd so much about relays that I use them for so many installs and mods from killswiches like horn and brake press while you crank it or others, rewired windows or doorlocks . People that are in these kind of buisness should take more time to study how a relay works , it helps alot in different funtions that you might need to modify or customise
You could also use a on/off switch. I have used this on hundreds of headunits and all have worked with the on off switch. Just run the teal wire fro. The relay to one leg on the switch and the other leg of the switch to ground. If the radio requires it to switch after turn on just flip the switch off and back on. But I also see why the relay might be a more appeasing choice seeing that it automatically does this for you. But on the other hand the switch uses less wires
Got lucky on mine was able to ground directly to radio as you did in beginning so added a small ring terminal pulled screw out back put back in with wire connected so now my dvd works keep up the videos they are helpful
dude you'er super cool...i was getting so stressed in trying to verify the location of my parking break wire and with your help in 2 seconds i'm done. Thanks again !!!!
Awesome mate, did this on pioneer sph da250dab, didn't allow me to do most of things because it was thinking I was driving, worked perfectly grounded to it.
Hey thanks for the video...Please post the link here for the PDF that you were talking about regarding the RELAY. It will be so much useful to me..Thanks
Lessco Electronics hello I recently watched a video about bypassing the e break feature for a double din DVD head unit. in this video a PDF about relay uses was mentioned. please send me the link for this PDF. thank you and looking forward to more videos.
Thank you so very much. I wish more people in the world were like you, it would be a better place. I too like sharing knowledge instead of making a buck out of it. Hope you are doing well.
Thank you, bought a relais 3 euro. installed it according to your video in my mitsubishi outlander with clarion NX501 factory installed. I had to disconnect the green wire and the rest all according to your video.
I was going to ask if this would work. For my pioneer I just bought, I can bypass by connecting the green wire to my ground wire only AFTER the connection is made after the unit is on (the car is started). If the green wire is already connected to ground and then I start up my car (and head unit powers on), it will display a message stating that I need to make sure my parking brake is applied. Its only when I part the connection and reconnect will it trigger and bypass. So, I was thinking about using a toggle switch so after I turn the car on, I can toggle on and trigger a connection between the green wire and ground.
Just wanted to personally say thank you for taking the time to explain the bypass. I got my girl a Pioneer AVH-4500BT and ran into the green wire. I'm hoping it works? If not, I'll just have to keep on trying....thx again!
Nice trick. I was going to wire to chassis, but like you said Alpine made it tricky because DVD player will know that a ground wire is already grounded and It wont work. I have a bunch of those relays in my tool box, very handy things.
Clarion decks were awesome, idk if they still make them the same. I bought a flip out back like in 05 and it lasted at least 7 years, sold the truck in 2012 and the stereo was still doing its job.
The Kenwoods (at least from years ago) used to work if you simply grounded the parking switch wire from the back of the unit. that's as dirt cheap and easy as you can get. :) Sorry, added my comment before watching the whole video. I see your Clarion is the same!!
Bout dam time we have someone that thinks like i do. Great info. I refuse to buy a 15 dollar part that is a waste of money. Thank you for clarity of information.
Thanks you so much. Did this to my Kenwood DNX570 and it works every time. I can hear it click as the HU is powering up. Now to keep my eyes on the road instead of the movie. :) Thanks again. 'Merica
I took your excellent advice and tested the "grounding to radio chassis" before buying a bypass and even though you said Pioneer units require a pin swap my 2015 AVH-x3700BHS works flawlessly. thanks for the info!
You did an awesome job on how to do that without buy lots of modules. The only mistake you say there’s 2 86 terminals when one is 85. There are only 87 and 87a
The firmware on the newer Pioneer head units require you to pull the brake, release the brake, then pull again. So, the $13 bypass via ebay did the trick quite well for my AVH-4100NEX, and at only 1/20 the size of a relay.
this is a good video on the bypass. i tried to ground the wire to the dvd frame but didnt work so i just stuck the parking wire in the antenna adapter and it works just fine
I have an Clarion NX404 (you did a great review BTW) I have the long green wire you mentioned. So all I have to do is ground that to the body of the nav unit and the DVD will work at all times? No bypass needed? And no searching for brake wires/switch connections?
Hi Thanks for this informtaion, it has proven to be very helpful. On another note I would like to kindly request a copy of the relay instructions for future use. Thanks in advance.
I just want to make sure what I think I heard. If you ground to the frame of the Unit, then you can attach it to the player without any problems? Or put it to the ground wire? I was going to buy one of the switches and realized I might not need it. Thank you for the video. I have a Boss BV775BLC coming to me tomorrow.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about the caps but I was ready to spent the money on the bs-moneymaking item and instead you learned me, with the minimal electrical skill I have, that I can actually do the exact same thing. Again, thanks very much.
Tried grounding it to the chassis like u showed. Works but once I shut truck off stopped working. Would have to keep taking ground off and putting it back on. Tried the relay like u showed, heard the relay click on but once again relay clicks on too fast. Radio doesn't read the relay, can't watch videos while in motion. My last option is the one I didn't wanna do is run a switch in order to watch dvds. So I had an existing switch in the truck, tapped into that one and it works if I wanna watch dvds I flip the switch and video plays in motion
thanks for the vid but can u help me on my vx404 clarion, i did use relay or ground the grss green wire to chasis first it worked but when u restart the HU the video will disable again
Thank you so much I did not know how to do it I took my device out and put a DVD in and would not let me use it I touched the wire to the cd player and it worked fine I was like wow to easy I still had the screw from the back that you take off when it is brand new bought I wrapped the wire around the screw and screwed it in tight and it works fine I am like wow to easy thank you worked great took me 5 min and was free
My husband isn't using a relay that you demonstrated in the video. He is using a ring terminal to ground it to the vehicle chassis. Will that cause any long-term problems?
I wonder if the back EMF from the relay could damage the 12V remote output on the head unit. Might be worth putting a diode across the coil terminals (Reverse polarity of course!) to suppress any spikes. I would think a 1N4001 should do the trick for a small relay, worth checking data sheets though.
For those that have Pioneer Radios, you need to connect then disengaged then reconnect parking brake. It is in your owners manual. For the few that have said after installing this way my battery dies. Something is not powering all the way off. Connecting a sense wire to power or ground has nothing to with drain. It is only verifying and not pulling. A radio that is off is different than a radio in Standby. If you have amps install, make sure that your remote turn on is not still on with the ign off.
I have the pioneer pioneer avxh 1600 and all I have been doing is when I want to watch something or have the anything on I just ground the green cable. When I'm done I undo the connection. Don't know if that's the healthiest for the unit but it has been working for me :)
Nice vid Lessco Electronics!! There are two blue wires, which one goes to the relay? The one that comes from the car or the one coming out from the stereo harness? Same thing for ground, I see you plug only one ground (Relay's pin 87). Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, I especially liked the jumper idea. I thought i could only play dvds on my Pioneer 4600bt with the emergency brake on. I only had black wiring in my garage so I used green and blue heat shrink on the tips to differentiate between the amp turn on and e-brake leads. Just a note for everyone, buy these relays online because locally at auto zone and oreilly they are ridiculous.
Nice video, I just connect the parking wire to players ground and use that relay to drive the remote wire to pre amp, 4ch amp and sub amp. Very useful.
Ive got a kenwood radio and did the test you did and its works. Now can i just leave it connected like that without any electrical problems? Or do i need a relay? Or can i just connect it to the cars chassis?
I almost got sold on the damn bypass myself. but I got smart and searched my model, and how to bypass the parking brake... sure enough, my particular stereo, had this method where you turn it off, hold a certain spot, and it'll say "set on". then, it'll let you use it completely with no "parking brake wire incorrectly installed" message! avic-7000nex is mine :)
Hey buddy great video...just a quick question. On the blue wire connected to the relay can you splice in the blue wire from the amp if you have subs? Cause the blue/white wire from the DVD player would connect to that...I learned today that this bypass hack is junk. I wanna do the relay now and re-do
So you can use any source with accesory 12 volts rights? Not necessarily from the remote amp turn on wire... You could use any, like the cigarette lighter wire
Okay... 1st thank u for your video !! Your a Genius and you know how to explain your self extremely well .. now I installed my pioneer in dash radio on my car... I did exactly what you said to do. And it work perfect ... Now my important question is .. would this work for a back up camera ???? Meaning a friend of mine has the same radio but he can actually activate he's back up camera while driven ??? So my question is .. would this be the same Scenario as a bypass for a back up camera ???? I hope I explain my self right... like u said .. why spent 50 or 30 on something that looks pretty when I can just do it how u did it.....
Hi and thanx for this very important piece of information, Just to help others too,it works with The new 2015 Pioneer AVH x7700BT fold out radio. Went to my local Maplin, picked a relay for 3 quid and was Gud to Go. It also plays dvd when u place the green wire on top of the stereo just as u did on yr video. thanx again, brilliant.
Even after eight years, this is by far the best video on fixing this situation.

Did this in under 15 minutes. Connected the green wire to ground, and I was watching vintage Hawaii Five-0 right away. Great!
I tied the radio ground and the parking wire together
Doesn't work on all units. It did many years ago, but many don't work that way anymore.
Thank you so very much. I wish more people in the world were like you, it would be a better place. I too like sharing knowledge instead of making a buck out of it. Hope you are doing well.
Can a person just attach the green ground wire onto the frame of the car and avoid the extra plugs and all?
makes sense to me
+Johny John yes, i did that for my eclipse unit
+Johny John yes you can , I am doing it for many years in my business .. www.hameedauto.com.au
You used to, but Pioneer made it to where you have to ground, disconnect, and reground. The relay sends that signal to trick it.
Thank you, bought a relais 3 euro. installed it according to your video in my mitsubishi outlander with clarion NX501 factory installed. I had to disconnect the green wire and the rest all according to your video.
Dude you can just ground it to the ground wire and use a toggle switch
mario alvarez that's what I'm using but forget the switch sometimes
mario alvare
mario alvarez you don’t even need a toggle switch, just connect it to the ground and leave it

why add a relay when I can just attach the wire to ground?
some radios actually need a rellay come of them dont work whit only ground
im glad you watched the video lol

Because that only works on stereos that only care if it's grounded. Some are looking for a signal.

Thank you so much for this, I especially liked the jumper idea. I thought i could only play dvds on my Pioneer 4600bt with the emergency brake on. I only had black wiring in my garage so I used green and blue heat shrink on the tips to differentiate between the amp turn on and e-brake leads. Just a note for everyone, buy these relays online because locally at auto zone and oreilly they are ridiculous.
2020 still dropping knowledge thank you
Nice video, I just connect the parking wire to players ground and use that relay to drive the remote wire to pre amp, 4ch amp and sub amp. Very useful.
Thank you sir you saved me time and possibly cash. Salute to you sir. If I knew you I would buy ya a beer
thank you I was to fast I ordered the bypass $20. But you saved me for the next one
Ive got a kenwood radio and did the test you did and its works. Now can i just leave it connected like that without any electrical problems? Or do i need a relay? Or can i just connect it to the cars chassis?
Wow I always did wanted to know how to work them relay thankz very helpful
If you don't need a interface? Can you just ground the green wire ? Or do you have to use a SPDT relay?
I almost got sold on the damn bypass myself. but I got smart and searched my model, and how to bypass the parking brake... sure enough, my particular stereo, had this method where you turn it off, hold a certain spot, and it'll say "set on". then, it'll let you use it completely with no "parking brake wire incorrectly installed" message!
avic-7000nex is mine :)
To just ground the green wire could I tie it to the ground wire that the stereo uses or do I have to ground it to the chassis myself
Hey buddy great video...just a quick question. On the blue wire connected to the relay can you splice in the blue wire from the amp if you have subs? Cause the blue/white wire from the DVD player would connect to that...I learned today that this bypass hack is junk. I wanna do the relay now and re-do
Thank you. Bless you for sharing your knowledge. You just saved me time and money.
:)
So you can use any source with accesory 12 volts rights? Not necessarily from the remote amp turn on wire... You could use any, like the cigarette lighter wire
Is this that green wire with the brown adapter that is by itself when you unplug the factory unit?
Okay... 1st thank u for your video !! Your a Genius and you know how to explain your self extremely well .. now I installed my pioneer in dash radio on my car... I did exactly what you said to do. And it work perfect ...
Now my important question is .. would this work for a back up camera ???? Meaning a friend of mine has the same radio but he can actually activate he's back up camera while driven ???
So my question is .. would this be the same Scenario as a bypass for a back up camera ????
I hope I explain my self right... like u said .. why spent 50 or 30 on something that looks pretty when I can just do it how u did it.....
Hi and thanx for this very important piece of information,
Just to help others too,it works with The new 2015 Pioneer AVH x7700BT fold out radio.
Went to my local Maplin, picked a relay for 3 quid and was Gud to Go.
It also plays dvd when u place the green wire on top of the stereo just as u did on yr video.
thanx again, brilliant.
Great video but got 1 question. Where are you pulling the ground from the? The stereo or...... Somewheres else?
