Default Kenwood DVD install question?????!!!

I'm trying to hook up the Kenwood DDX 7015. ON the little connector where you hook up the E-Brake how do I go about going around this. Also do I just connect the power wire from that connector to the fuse box? I need some answers fast guys!

Thanks!

that wire needs to be grounded when the parking brake is applied.
this stops the dvd from playing while the car is in motion...(you would not drive with the e-brake up. right??)

just ground this wire to defeat this...

try searching for more threads like this...

Yeah I have the harness, no cutting, so I just connect the yellow wire from the other plug to the yellow power wire?

Yeah I have the harness wired together but there is another plug on the back of the HU with another power wire, ground and the E-Brake ground. Do I connect the ground on that one to the harness and the power wire?

yes, all grounds to the one in the harness.
all power (yellows) to the one from the harness....

there is only one power ant wire. the other is the remote turn on for other electric devices (amps, head rest tv's, back up camera......)

Yeah I got rid of it about 2 months ago. I needed something bigger and more room.
