go ack to the manual and read the video source select part

The video source button switches in the following order each time u press it..

BUilt in disc

TV

Video

IPOD

Rear Camera

Navigation

You can also turn off the video by holding the button for more than 1 sec.

When you press the button again the previous screen comes back up.

Do you have the parking brake trigger connected or did you bypass it?

d parking brake connection is not connected. Does it have any interlock to video playback? how do i bypass it?

thx

yea theres ur problem, it has to be grounded...

i think to bypass the newer units u have to ground it to a switch and click on, off, on, or something to that effect

when u said that the parking brake connection to be grounded, i would assume it is to negative terminal?

FYI, the unit is not in my car yet. I just use my test bench to check if everything is ok first.
