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.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
