Need Help Finding Parking Brake Wire For Dvd Install

[asimpswi]

I am new here and just have a 2007 NBS silvarado 1500 2 wheel drive onstar but now bose and want to install a pioneer AVH-P3100DVD I have purchased the wireharnes, lan interface and bezal kit. What i need is the location of the parking brake wire and the reverse wire location so I can hook up dvd and back up camera. If you could send me location and color of wire that would be great. Thanks in advance. truck does not have bose

What interface did you buy? lots of them provide both wires for you

I purchased the PAC C2R-GM2 I do not plan on using Onstar and also now my battery is dead when went out to get lunch could this have something to do with changing the radio out?

 

 

 

I did not get the parking brake up yet or the reverse signal.

Not sure about pioneer to be sure but most of the aftermarket DVD players (like my kenwood) you can connect the parking brake wire to ground to buypass it. The reverse, I am not sure I can look it up Wednesday night when I go into work if you don't have it by then.

 

The dead battery could be from the radio install if the 12v switched wire was not hooked up properly or if the module is defective. If you do not notice your radio on wen the key is off (and after you open the driver door) then I would suspect that it was just a coincidence. Probably from having the door open for an hour or more while you installed the radio.

Ok the dead battery came from my son turning on the dome lamps and me having the door open throughout the install. I still do not have the reverse signal and also need the parking brake wire I can tie into. If I understand you correctly I can just go to the frame or ground wire and the dvd will work or will bypass the parking brake correct? Thanks for your help

You cant just ground the parking brake wire on a newer pioneer head unit like that, it is a legal thing so they made it a bit harder to do if you want to work around being able to play dvds on the move.

[asimpswi]

No I do not care if it is on the move or parked i just want to be able to play dvds and if grounding it will work i wiill but if not if someone could tell me what wire i need to hook i to that would be great. thanks in advance for any one that might have the answer.

buy a Pac-Audio TR-7

 

this will mimic the parking brake signal for the pioneer, alpine, kenwood, etc and allow video in motion.

 

if you have only the ground wire (and not the foot brake and parking brake wire, sorry not that familiar with pioneer) then the wire you want is on the back of the parking brake, you can see it if you look at the parking brake unit, it is a single ground wire stuck at the very back.

Ya know you can just stick your head under the dash and look at the wire coming from the foot brake right? If you want on the move just search ebay for pioneer bypass and for about $10 you will get what you need.
