The head deck in my partners new car plays dvds, but doesnt disable when the hand break is on.

How do i remedy this?

Had no luck finding info anywhere...

Can I ask why you want too ?

Quite often the installers do this on purpose (yes I know not leagle blah blah)

No, I dont want to watch tv when driving, we need it to not play when driving cos rego are being tools about the fact that it still plays. It is only a cheap chinese unit, and we are gonna replace it, but the replacement wont arrive before the rego check is due to be completed.

The previous owner installed it and it can play dvds at any time, not that we even tested that ourselves... But for rego it needs to not play dvds when driving....

which i dunno how that works if she is using the dvd player to play an dvd full of mp3s not watching movies... but rego blah blah blah.. ideas please?

Yes there will be a wire behind the unit that is connected to ground, that is not the main ground wire. You need to connect that wire to the hand brake signal. How you do this is entirely up to you...

Last time I did one the wire was pink, but it will probably be different. Will usually be a really skinny wire (similair to a "remote" output wire that goes to an amp). Easiest way is to splice it into the handbrake light wires.

I was worried they would knock us for having it out thinking we'd just put it back in or that there was a hole in the dash, but they told me the same, that can do that.

the mrs is getting a new better deck any hoo, but will take a couple of weeks from the US.

Thanks Verms, but i can install in no worries. It was only trying to work out how to make the current dvd player compliant.... But they told me i can just remove it and i wont get bounced for the open dash area, so that wil do till the new one comes in the next week or two.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
