I'm wiring an Alpine HU and I need to get a signal from the foot brake. (this is in order to get the DVD player to play) I have already connected the parking brake wire to the light blue parking brake. Can anyone tell me where the foot brake wire is? And colour if you know it.

thanks!

Assuming you want 12V+ when the brake pedal is pressed, the wire is light blue coming out of the brake pedal switch on the pedal bracket under the dash.

Search microbypass this allows you to bypass the parking brake limitation. I did this because there are functions locked out when moving that a passenger would want to use.

Did alpine get fancy with a design or something, I seem to recall only having to ground the parking brake signal to get dvd or nav in motion

Yeah they all became wise to that. Now the units need a on-off-on or it wont work. I tried the old way and failed.

i spoke with alpine and not only are there two wires to connect, there's a procedure to play a dvd. foot on brake, ebrake on, off, on...then it will play. yeesh!

thanks for the micro bypass tip. just want to get this thing playing and then might add the bypass.
