Hi dudes, I have just finished installing a JVC KW-AVX700 unit into my R32. JVC have built in a "feature" that won't allow a viewable playback unless the handbrake is applied. However, it is also stated that the warning won't appear unless the handbrake and JVC unit are physically wired up to eachother.

The instructions say the following:

"If the parking brake is not engaged, "Parking Brake" appears on the monitor, and no playback picture will be shown. This warning appears only when the parking brake wire is connected to the parking brake system built in the car."

The funny thing is that I didn't hook the wire to the handbrake so the warning should be disabled. Furthermore, I am still getting the warning even when I do apply the handbrake.

Any ideas? It would be sh*t to have an incar DVD if you can only watch it when the car is completely stationary....

your park brake sensor on the unit should be looking for a negative signal.

Just ground that wire from the head unit to a good source of negative ( chasis) and you should be fine.

righto... i earthed the park brake wire and now it's fine... thanks all for your help...

..phew!!

i know.... i knew there had to be a way around it... just glad it was so simple... imagine having the unit without being able to have the video clips running while your driving... or going for a trip with your mates and telling them they could only watch the display at the traffic lights... pfft...

thn imageing being distracted by the same uint and running over a pedestrian. thats the reason it is there :P

LOL i know its not funny but this guy got the sack from JB-HiFi for not connecting it to the park brake signal... we use to make customers sign an document if they wanted it done with the wire striaght to negative, it said something like "we are connecting this to the park brake signal wtf you do with it after is your business" something like that to keep us from getting sued in an "unlikely" event just like Chris stated...

If it is an indash monitor you might want to hook up a switch somewhere so the PoPo cant get you for it too.

bit of an overkill don't you think....? just risk it and turn it on to radio if you get pulled over... fairdinkum...

ive got a miriad of switches i call 'cop switches' that i just bang to the up position when i go past cops... saved me a few times...

the best thing to do is to get a two phase switch and ground one end, and send the other to the hand brake so if you ever do get shit about it, just flick the switch to handbrake mode... sup to you though...

got a diagram to show me...? Do i still ground the handbrake wire from the back of the HU or do i rig it up properly to the handbrake then use the switch to ground it while the handbrake is off??

that diagram took me 2 hours, so i hope you appreciate it!

go to jaycar, DONT SHOW THEM THAT, they will laugh at you, tell them what you wanna do and what kind of switch you need, then wire the ground from the head unit to the single input, then ground one of the outputs, and wire the other to the ground cable on the handbrake...

finding a suitable place for the switch is always fun... i got 5 wittle ones in my drink holder :ninja:

I just realised that I didnt even attach the hand brake wire to anything.. and it plays as normal... what the..?

But the only problem is, that there's no power running to it when the car's turned off. Therefore.. the clock resets, and the CD/DVD starts from the begining..what the?

you've got your 12V+ and your acc wires mixed up... when you turn your car off, it kills the 12V+ line that should always be on, and uses the ACC line as battery backup, which is obviously off now...

take it out, swap em over and you should be fine...

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
