Damo_c Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 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?

Jack88 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 check your user manual for the correct wire first,but yes that would be the reason why your not getting any picture.

-FIGJAM- Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 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?

Vik Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 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 MRXTCZ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/232844-new-dvd-tv-unit/#findComment-4130461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvlc Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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.
