i bought a tv/dvd player for the car,only thing i dont like is,that there is a saftey device on it that i had to hook to the handbrake so there will be no picture when u driving. I was wondering is there any way i could bypass this by making a new circuit with a toggle switch, has to be low voltage though

 

[guardtower]

Handbrake switch is 12 volts and the wire you connected is like a remote switch so any 12v ignition live will do

 

[jarhedch]

most handbrakes are a simple ground switch, and so simply grounding the wire will do, depends on the setup you've got, it's piss easy to bypass.

and if you get caught by the police for driving with a video going then dont bleat on about it

 

[guardtower]

The wire on the handbrake is a ground?

 

[mondeo.man662]

If its ground connect it to ground on the radio (usually black) if its not then connect it to the ignition live wire on the radio :L

i bought a head unit on ebay the has a screen on it, noticed the wire with a label on saying brake, wasnt too sure what to do with it so just ignored it and wired up the usual red, black and yellow wires for power, blue/white to amplifier then added rca leads, works perfectly and video comes on whilst car is moving

may not be the same on all head units but just try disconnecting the wire from handbrake and see how that works

ill try that hope it dont blow nothin lol i tryed b4 to ignore cable but wouldnt play and for the police xxxx them lol

another thing i remembered that i have to go thru a sequence with the handbrake to get a picture [put down handbrake foro 2 seconds then pull back up and picture will come on ]thats why im looking for a sepatate circuit
