Just like the title sais. I need help finding the parking brake wire on the Z without removing the center console. Whoever owned the Z before me, installed the head unit wrong, and i want to wire the parking brake wire properly. Anyone know where i can locate it and what the color is???

 

bumpp anyone??

 

What HU do you have? I grounded the parking brake line on my Kenwood. Didn't bother hooking to the actual car parking brake line.

 

i have the pioneer avic Z1. in order for me to view DVDs while driving i have to hookup the parking brake line and then get it reflashed. So i need to know the wire.

 

i believe the drivers side kick panel you can get it. Purple wire (-) trigger

 

You might try this (take out spaces)

i have seen that already and it doesnt help me cuz my version is older. i need to connect the parking brake wire and go from there.

 

how certain are you?? i want to make sure i dont mess up anything.

 

You can always test it. Get a voltage meter, hopfully you or a buddy have one. With the parking break disengaged, poke into said purple wire with the negative (in my exp it usually is purple or purple stripe for parking break) and hole the red to a voltage source in the car. volt meter should read 0. now engage parking break. meter should now read the voltage of the source. most likely 12V.

Hope this helps.

 

go to avic411.com and bypass it so you can ground it.

 

what he said. lol. i would test it even if i was 95% certain.

 

go to avic411.com i think and they can tell you how to dvd bypass easy and quick

 

i did go to AVIC411 but my issue is, i need to wire that brake wire in order for me to bypass the headunit. thats why i need the wire.

 

i will do that thanx
