I just bought a dvd tv head unit for my r33, prob is that i cant see any visual on the screen but can hear it. I heard ages ago this can happen cos the bropwn wire being the handbrake wire is not connected to ground, would this be true? It says on the screen that i cant view this function whilst driving, the thing is im just sitting in the car with the ign on.

Should i ground the brown wire?

why dont people pay the $70 to get it installed by a pro? at least that way ur covered by warrenty if something goes on.. I can understand learning to do it urself and what not... but u pay how much for the deck, do u really want somethin to go wrong in a couple of months and then not be able to get it fixed?

My 2cents

So im guessing thats the same problem im gonna' face when i finnaly get around to buy the DVD head unit for my car.

Nice heads up.

+1 for professional installation.

But my rule basically is, if its worth over 150 get it done professionally =D

just installed one myself. dont wire it to your handbrake. wire the handbrake wire to a generic earth in the vicinity of the head unit area, all this does is allow the video to play anytime you want other than just when the handbrake is engaged. its a safety feature.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
