What color is parking brake power wire?

celiboy07 · Nov 22, 2003

I am trying to install my Pioneer DVD unit (with NO monitor) and it is requiring me to tap the PARKING BRAKE WIRE from the unit into the PARKING BRAKE SWITCH POWER supply side.

I have done a search already, but no clear answers. It was said that I can tap the wire into the clock's wire white/black ground, but I dont need ground I need power. What color is the clock's power wire?

Also another option was to tap it to the parking brake's ground BROWN wire, but I don't need the ground I need parking brake's POWER wire. What color is that one?

If anyone knows either way to tap the wire, please let me know. If not I will have to try trial and error and see if I will blow the unit up. Thanks!

Sorry about that. Actually, I still dont know which wire it is. I figured how to bybass it on my DVD unit (Pioneer SDV-P7). On my unit, it has front video out and rear video out. The front video out requires me to wire it to the parking brake power wire. The rear does not. I just hooked it up to the rear video out. Therefore, no parking brake wire.

What color wire is the parking brake power is still a mystery to me. Sorry.

lol its cool, glad its working. I just remember someone else who had the same issue you had and someone told him to click the parking brake up one click and deal with it . lol

Its odd that they would require you to use a 12v trigger to the unit as most parking brakes are negative trigger. Even so you could have used a relay to reverse the polarity of the parking brake trigger.

Just ground the wire to anything metal to bypass it.
