Look at the head unit manual then the radio harness fir ur car to match the wires, sometimes these things dont color-match.

I can let you know if you take the park brake cable for the dvd menu and you want it to function with out the e-brake engaged ground the wire then run enough into your glove box or wherever you want to mount it with about 6inches or more from the ground side then cut the cable so you have two end coming into your glove compartment one from the ground and one from the hu unit. connect them using a basic toggle switch that way you can just toggle the switch to imitate the system be grounded for the first time after you turn the car on. If you just ground the e brake cable it will work but once you turn the car off then back on it wont work that why you need the switch

It all should be color coordinated. Buy a toggle switch and put in an accessory slot.that way you can. watch TV while driving lol.

Don't use a toggle switch, use a relay and connect the remote signal wire and the ebrake signal wire to it and ground the other two sides, done! Can even do it all behind the headunit so no one will ever see it and you don't need much wire.
