Default stereo install,brake light bypass?

Im installing an Alpine dvd/cd/nav unit and its asking to hook up emergency and foot brake to get it to work for their saftey stuff. Is there a way to bypass this feature? Im also looking for the foot brake wire to tie into. Anyone know which wire the unit gets tapped into by the brake pedal? the way I read the body diagram is the light blue wire runs the switch...Im no "sparky" though

Tie it to whatever it wants. Ground or Power. It can't tell what it is tied to.

I found it. The yellow black wire goes to the light blue wire next to the orange wire under the dash. The yellow and green one attach to the emergency brake wire and there is only 1 so its just a matter of tying it together. It works like a charm now so any Alpine units going in Ill help if I can.
