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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
