there must have been a wire that tapped into the parking brake light or something along those lines. what does the instructions say about that part?

PARKING BRAKE
parking brake inhibit

When the pink "parking" wire is connected to the vehicle brake switch, the front TFT monitor will display video only when the parking brake sequence is engaged. Before starting the parking brake sequence, the radio must be on with the video media disk inserted and playing.

Parking brake Sequence

There are two situations that can start the Parking Brake sequence (this is the prefered method). The timing window is between 3-5 seconds.

*Parking Brake is engaged (on) when the vechicle is started or the accessory/ignition is turned on. To activate video, the following sequence of events must be completed.
a. Release parking brake 3-5 seconds
b. Reapply parking brake
c. Video should be displayed on the TFT monitor

ok i went to the audio store and they told me this code to bypass the parking brake method thing, thanks for your help anyway

which headunit did you have. When I installed mine I just grounded it to the parking brake instead of wiring it into the parking brake activation switch and it worked fine. But then again my deck wasn't one with a flip out screen, I have an external.

The low end ones you can just ground and it works, the high ends you need a full bypass unit, there are also ones you can program like yours where there is a factory code you input to bypass the parking inhibit

I just recently installed my new double din DVD headunit and I just grounded the parking park wire the chassis works fine for me.

just pull the e-brake handle up one click. it's enough to turn the brake light on, without actually engaging the e-brake.
