i just got my jensen 9311ts in the mail today and i was wondering if anyone knew how to make it so i dont have to pull my e-brake up to watch a movie. yes i kno its illegal and all that good stuff but whats the use of a tv in your car if u gotta sit in the drive way to watch it?

I havn't done an install ina long time but if I remember right there was something you had to wired up to the e-brake switch, I think if you don't hook it up it will work, I'm not sure, it may vary from different models. Someone else may be more help then I.

you ground the wire that goes to the e-brake... my recomendation is to wire it both w/ a switch and the e-brake... not in line with each other, but so that either one could turn it on... then you hide that switch really well... if you get stopped for it you flip your hidden switch and prove to the officer it works w/ the e-brake... chances are the officer will try out any visible switches... hope that helps and don't blame me if you run into somebody cuz you were watching porn instead of driving

seriously though, in the year that i've been a 911 dispatcher several of our deputies have rear-ended people because they were playing w/ their computer

seriously, from experience

hide the switch well... what i'd do is hide the switch in the arm rest, that tiny rectangular pocket near the front of it when you lift the arm rest up... down in there i'd drill it out and you wouldn't have to run the wire for it much farther if you're tapping into the ebrake near the actual handle

i grounded it and it worked for a lil bit then i when i tightened the nut down it didnt work anymore no matter where i grounded it. i need some help

i'd check to make sure you didn't pull the wire out or blow a fuse

found out my prob! turns out 06 jensens have gotten smarter. you cant just ground the pink wire anymore. you gotta either put in the factory override code (which i luckily found on the net) or use the e-brake. thanx for the help guys. ima try the code out in the morn!

sh!t ill prolly get out in the cold and try it tonite

if you have a jensen go on to circuit citys web site. they have a code you enter to get it to play videos consistantly. its in customer reviews on one of the units.

ive also was wondering about this. i was looking at this one http://www.cardiscountstereos.com/catal ... 23=PLDVIN7
but i was wanting to know do all indash tv's have that feature, no movies while driving?

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 11:29 am

^ yes they should have that feature... unless maybe if its an overseas model *shrugs*

Even the Euro models have that failsafe. Best way to hide a switch is not in the armrest since it's not to handy to get to in a hurry. You could try a push switch near the feet-area or hide one in between the seat and center console.

oh and if you have a pioneer d2 z1 or n3...pull off the void sticker on the unit to reveil a switch. put the switch in the other position and boom....your good to go.
