DVD Head Unit - Help?
Does anyone know what the easiest way to hook up the parking brake and foot pedal brake leads and where they are easily located for a dvd headunit with the safety thing?
need to hook up Alpine IVA-W205 DVD Receiver in my 2007 Aveo LS Sedan, i have the install kit and harness.
found this review vid of the unit in an aveo:

sorry i cant help you but that is an awesome reciever though. When you get it installed post pictures!

will do
ya it shipped out today, i should get it installed over the weekend if the weather is good and i can find those brake leads, I will be sure to post some pics. this new unit should be way cooler than the pioneer 6900ub i had and i will still be able to use the 250gig usb drive in the glove box.

I have a 7" panasonic in my 07 sedan, and i didn't do the parking break safety stuff. you don't really need to- it's just what you are "supposed" to do. mine still works fine- no problems. you just have to ground the parking break wire so it thinks it is hooked up. if you need any more info- just ask. my honey has it down to an art....

k
ok cool thanks ill try that out, nice car by the way
-
um what about the wire that is supposed to go to the pedal brake lead?
or just leave it unhooked and ground the parking brake wire?
-
the only wire i know of is the emergency brake lead- i didnt have a brake pedal lead... hmmm- i will have to check that out.

the manual has them listed as this:
Parking Brake Lead (Yellow/Blue)
Connect this lead to the power supply side of the parking
brake switch to transmit the parking brake status signals to
the IVA-W205.
Foot Brake Lead (Yellow/Black)
Connect to the vehicle’s foot brake lead or brake lamp lead.
