I just picked up a JVC 7" in dash DVD/monitor. The double din style one.
My question is about the parking brake ground so I can have it on all the time. What is a good spot to change it to, can I just ground the wire out or does it have to be to something that powers on and off for the deck to recognize it.
Where did everyone else ground thiers out to?

There is a ground in the radio harness, I just ground it out there.

You can just get a bypass, friend got it done for I believe $50-$100.

FYI if the ground doesnt work you can put it on a switch and flip it a few times to see if that works

And thats how I can get aroundf having the HU recognize the parking brake ground. I don't know if this deck needs that or not but I had herd that some decks do.

In any case Thank You

Now I'm off to install it, I'll post pics when its done

the jvc is a simple ground. nothing like the alpines or kenwoods eleborate style.

i have the jvc touch screen in my car. it's a long ass light green wire i believe

Right you are, I'm looking at it right now.
I think I'll find its own ground for it, I don't want to overload the stock one, GM, and all car companys for that matter put to many things on each ground.
Thanks for the help guys
BTW-Finding the proper Double Din dash mount in Vancouver has proven to be somewhat like finding Jimmy Hoffa's grave, so I had to modify one from a Cavalier, if anyone else runs into this problem let me know I explain how I did it.

crutchfield has the kits.

p.s. jimmy hoffa is most likely buried in missouri.

ya you only need a switch for the crazy ones... oddly enough the duals require a switch and the normal ground doesnt work for them
