New Kenwood Head Unit - need help with parking brake wire
I've searched, but still asking the question.
Electronics are my weak link on DIY. As such, I installed the Kenwood DDX471HD H-U, and like a lot of other newbies, did not realize that I needed to hook up the parking brake wire.
So my questions are:
If I ground the wire, where should I ground it to (best locations), and will I get my functionality with the Kenwood.
Or, if I hook up to the hand brake, is there a DIY on this or DIY on removing the center console trim?
Thanks,
Bob

Just ground it out to metal. Kenwoods usually just bypass by grounding it out.
I attached a ring terminal to the ground wire and bolt it to the closest metal area.
