In car DVD that dosent need handbrake on!

[mrvx2]

Hi all

Any one got an idea of any double din DVD decks that dont need the handbrake on to use the DVD function? Also with a sub output. I just bought a jvc kwavx710 and apparantly its has neither!
It was pretty cheap at $650 but i suppose thats y.

Any ideas?

Cheers Frank

put the green wire to earth for handbrake bypass
it does have sub out if ya read instructions it tells you what it has 1 set rcas out the back ya can use to go to amp to run a sub

its really that easy!!

Thanks man. last dvd player i had, the guy who installed it had to hook up a switch i had to switch on and off everytime i wanted to use the dvd while driving. So i dont need a switch?

no, no you don't just ground it like previously stated.

Well wats the correct way then?

Some DVD units these days (Clarion is one) are a little smarter than just connecting the handbrake sensing wire to earth...you need to install a simple toggle switch inline with this wire. This is because the unit knows the "handbrake" is always on (due to earthing out the sensing wire) so you need to fool the unit into thinking youve disengaged then re-engaged the handbrake.

Unfortunately the law requires any DVD display unit that can be seen by the driver to be wired to the handbrake light (something i completely disagree with btw).

on a jvc unit you do just ground it to bypass the handbrake

Yea my last one was a clarion. So i should be swwet with the JVC. Awsum

won't work. most DVD players will not play DVD's when the wire is not ground or connected to the handbrake. by law, it needs to be connected in order for DVD's to be played. if you don't wire it in, you may as well not have a DVD player

True, I use the toggle swith on my pioneer flip out..

i installed brand new alpine dvd flip out screen all in one, and didnt wire it in and it worked fine, and on my mates brand new pioneer dvd player and screen it worked also.
